Last summer we photographed a bunch of cool people for the relaunch of Gargoyle Sunglasses. We were lucky enough to travel to the great Pacific Northwest to shoot boat captain Sig Hansen (I love that show about catching crabs even though I’ve been vegetarian for more than half my life) and down to North Carolina to photograph Jimmie Johnson as well as some others in equally beautiful places. We don’t know much about Nascar Racing and have never really watched an event so Jimmie was a bit off our radar, but we realize that there are millions of you out there who love the sport and Jimmie himself. He’s a 2 time champion (from what we hear) and one of the most down to earth people we’ve ever photographed. It was a great experience and I hope we get to spend some time with him again. When Claire asked him why he liked to race cars, “Do you have a need for speed or something”, he simply replied “You know what, I really just love the competition…I live to compete”. I love that. Anyway, the point of this post, the ads will be in magazines any day now, and you can check out the catalog on Soldier Design’s newly revamped website. Oh, and watch Nascar..if you want.

That we were down with Texas graff crews did ya? Well it’s true. Our buddies that make up Sour Grapes are having an art show in Dallas on March 1st. Go, and say hello. Much love to our Texas friends.
Farley had a croquet birthday picnic which inspired us to convert our backyard.

We brought Eli to his first art show last week. It was our friends Travis Millard
and Mel Kadel‘s show in Santa Monica. They are both incredible artists and this was another incredible show. At one point I turned and saw the ice truck killer from Dexter and actually got a little startled only to find out he’s a friend of Mel’s, so he probably wasn’t going to empty our bodies of blood.

Gnarls Barkley released their first press shot to the world on their Myspace Page and their own Flickr Page so I guess we can finally post one here. There are tons of great photos from this shoot and we are super excited about seeing them everywhere. This one is just the beginning.
In other news, we updated the Polaroid Project on The Day19 in the “Projects” section.
Eli was 7 weeks and 1 day when the New Jersey Giants (yes, they play in New Jersey so they are the NJ Giants to me) made history by beating the New England Caught Cheatingers. Unfortunately, this may mean a lot of new Eli’s are going to be born in the tri-state area this year. Sorry buddy, didn’t mean to name you after a quarterback. Bad coincidence I guess. All good things about NY came from NJ, as Nate just said “the literal light at the end of the tunnel”.

We rented a church last week. How strange is it that you can rent a church for a couple days? Like, it becomes your church for those days. You could start your own religion and have a place to practice it on Mondays and Tuesdays for only 6 Grand. We also rented these bicycles and a Mark3 1Ds. The camera is bananas. If you can find us a place that has one in stock we’ll buy it and let you come over and take a picture with it. But just one. So you better make it good.
This one’s not even that old but man, that kid has grown.
I want all you motherf’ers (bleeped for the grandparents) to sing along with this one!
