I think everyone had a "Darrin Hudson" in their lives. Darrin Hudson was in my high school, back in Marlboro, NJ. You know, that person that you had to one-up all the time. Didn't matter what it was: Gear, hair, grades, sports, whatever...it was ON. Well for Darrin and I...it was kicks. Plain and simple. Oddly enough, in a school with over 1000 kids, me and him were the only 2 really into sneakers back then. This is my blog dedicated to Darrin. This is to tell Darrin that I'm still out there, and if he wants to battle, here it is son!! Bring it!! I've since lost touch with Darrin, but thanks to him, you all get to check out the kicks I have amassed over the years. So it is here, that I will archive every pair of shoes I own. It’ll include detailed photos, a grading system, a little tidbit behind each one and every single one will be available for purchase. (Simply POST A COMMENT with your offer). Some other little goodies sprinkled throughout also. Even if I updated a different shoe every week, it would take me about 3 years to complete this project. So sit back and enjoy! The project begins January 1st, 2006...

LTD.



Not to sound like a gay male model diva or anything, but photo shoots are really tiring! I empathize with models (and Edison, ha!). I just went thru 48 hours of straight video and photo shooting and it was grueling. You'd think just standing there would be simple work. But its not. Photographer is telling you to look here, there, everywhere, away, at the camera, down, up, angry, smiling, content, thinking, pensive, pissed...its like, "SHUT UP!!" I don't fault the photographer at all, he is only trying to make me look my best, but nevertheless, its rough. That's not to mention the waiting around for the crew to set shit up. The first video shoot was for a quasi-documentary. I can't reveal many more details but it will be released this Fall. The second was for the upcoming issue of LTD Magazine. "Hawaii" Mike's creation was one the forerunners of bigging up this culture we live and love. Prps to Mike...I managed to kill some time by shooting the people who were shooting me. I like giving them a taste of their own medicine.

Pretty sick camera. It's like the complete antithesis of a digital camera. It's take one shot, then takes about 5 mins to set up between each take.
