Ok, here’s the deal. This summer we’ve been taking photos of the view of our hotel rooms if we are above the first floor. The first person to guess all (or the most) of the cities that they were taken in will get a 16×20 print of your choice from our archive of photographs. Hint: we left out all the New York City ones, too easy. And there’s at least one or two that are dead give-aways.

Welcome to our fridge.
Our last day in Big Sur before before having to drive back to civilization and emails and phone calls the next morning. We found a creepy abandoned campgraound in the woods, went to the windiest beach in the world (i’m guessing) and did what you do on a last day of a trip like this. Try to figure out ways that you could survive by living in a tent in the middle of nowhere. Kris had some great ideas about robbing other campgrounds while people were out, or getting people really drunk and winning all their loot at poker. But none of those seemed to be really smart and we all decided we weren’t ready for life in the woods just yet, well most of us anyway.

We photographed the ads for the new EA Madden 08 video game and they are started to be seen places so look out for them, or just look below. Devin Hester and Reggie Bush, there’s also one of Vince Young that we have yet to spot yet. Pretty stoked at how they turned out. Go buy EA’s Def Jam Icons, the game is packed with great silliness.
Hiking, jumping, hiking, camping. Big Sur is friggin’ amazing.

We spent last week camping up in Big Sur for Jeremy’s birthday even though it isn’t until the end of the month after shooting a spread for Angeleno on Monday. A couple great friends came with for the adventures and great times sleeping in tents and being far away from the internet and working cell phones. Here are some photos from day one.

press release
summer exhibition . jul 14 – aug 5 . 2007
for Callum Robbins
96 Gillespie is pleased to announce our Summer Exhibition for 2007.
Our annual Summer Exhibition is intended to provide an informal introduction to the gallery and our mission as well as our upcomin schedule. This summer’s exhibition is dedicated to & in benefit of 18 month old Baltimore resident Cal Robbins.
All proceeds from the sale of artwork will be donated to Cal and includes work from Gee Vaucher, Glen E Friedman, Cynthia Connolly, Jamie Reid, Jeremy and Claire Weiss, KT Tunstall, Rich Jacobs, Sexton Ming, Tim Kerr, Harrison Haynes, Pat Graham, and many more.
Cal was born with a genetic motor neuron disease called Type 1 SMA, or Spinal Muscular Atrophy. The facts are brutal: SMA kills kids.The disease affects the brain’s ability to communicate with the voluntary muscles that are used for activities such as crawling, walking, head and neck control, breathing, and swallowing. Type 1 SMA is usually fatal; *most Type 1 babies will die before their second birthday*. Those infants who survive into childhood are in for a long road of occupational therapy, wheelchairs, and assistive devices. Despite years of work on its treatment and ‘ongoing promising research’, it has no cure.
This exhibition is part of a wider range of fundraising activities to help provide Cal with assistive devices & therapies that his parents could not otherwise afford. We hope to help them give him every opportunity for comfort & development.
