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.
