Was able to make it to the newsstand yesterday to flip thru the latest in the world of magazines and saw 2 of the ads we shot in Alabama in a ton of different magazines. Flippy flipping Co Stars.
Bigger versions after the jump.

I was reading on someone’s flickr page today that they were saving up for a digital SLR and came up with the brilliant idea of having a contest to give one away. We have this old Canon 5D we haven’t used in over a year (we have taken many many photos with it so it’s by no means brand new but is in great condition) and instead of letting it just hang there we decided to give it away to a photographer in need of a new camera. Here’s how it works… First, join the Day19 Facebook group @ Day19FacebookGang and then send your five favorite lo-res (500px wide @ 72dpi is good) photographs (should be obvious, but it’s photographs of your own) to [email protected]. You have to be a member of the Facebook Day19 gang to enter. Why? Because. Second, we’ll pick out our top 5 favorites and post them on this here blog with your information and everything and people can vote on who wins. The winner can then trade us a big print (the contest is really to get something new that we like to hang on our wall) of the photo for that lovely Canon 5D with the fancy grip on the bottom. Sound good? You have to send us photos by July 15th, we’ll post them shortly after.
New! Our friends at Crumpler Bags have jumped on board and are giving away a free photo bag to the winner as well.
Although it’s 60 degrees and rainy today in Los Angeles I can’t help be excited knowing summer is here. You could say it’s summer all year round here but something changes in people attitudes when the actual season hits. Lot’s of great backyard happenings, like this one the other weekend.

We are back from a week of shooting Converse in Portland. I fall in love with that place more and more every visit. Here are some quick iPhone pics taken on down times, which there wasn’t much of.
Figured we’d post a couple shots we just got developed from the past month. Starting this week we’re shooting a catalog and 2 ad campaigns over 11 days so we may not be getting much time to blog. All of these photos are straight off the CD they give you after developing your film at the Kodak Imaging Center in Glendale. Thanks Sheffield for clueing us in on that place.
Photo above is Devin and Stacey at their house up 2 flights of stairs in Echo Park.

We are throwing a free show with our good friends The Bronx and Trash Talk for a photo shoot on Sunday June 7th in downtown Los Angeles. It’s a real show, with two incredible bands… we’ll just be photographing some stuff during it. Plus Keith Morris will be DJ’ing between bands! It will make more sense if you come, but please do come. RSVP to [email protected]
Spread the word!
Our long time pal Louise Sturgess is having one of those displays of her pictures tonight in New York. Please go check it out and say hello for us. And speaking of New York, we’ll be there next week for a couple days. Let us know if you want to hang out. Follow our Twitter
so you can find out where we’re at…always. We need some more stalkers.
We shot Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo and Yo Gabba Gabba fame for The Wire last month (a magazine we’ve wanted to shoot for forever). He was one pretty damn cool guy. He drives a ’09 M3, he even made a special drawing for Eli! One pretty damn cool guy. Outtakes and bigger versions after the jump.

We just got word that we are winners in the advertising category of the 2009 PDN Photo Annual for the work we did last summer for Converse in Portland. So stoked to be a part of it, it’s one contest that I’ve always paid attention to but never entered. In fact, this is the only contest we’ve ever entered and honestly probably would have forgotten to if it wasn’t for the constant reminders from our amazing reps. So, thank you ladies for putting the pressure on. It’s not that we’re lazy (even though we bought a brand new car in January of last year that has yet to be washed), it’s just for some reason we never think about it. It’s hard sometimes to turn off what you’re doing right now and sit down and look over older work, we’d much rather be shooting new stuff than showing what we’ve already done. But you have to sometimes and I’m glad we did. Maybe we were just secretly scared of losing? Who knows, but what I do know is it feels great to see your photos somewhere other than your book or computer screen and feels even greater when someone else likes what you’re up to and gives you a trophy for it. Is that what we get, a trophy? I’ll let you know. Working with Converse (and Brandon) over the last year has been so much fun and by the looks of it people are digging what’s been coming out of it. Maybe we’ll remember to enter another contest soon.
