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...

I MISS THE OLD NEW YORK.

...But the reality is that I live and profit from the New New York. I live with this struggle everyday. It's part of my love/hate relationship with NYC. My friend Sarah recently put me on to this video feature from The New York Times. It perfectly shows how my neighborhood has changed over the decades.

jeez you miss the 1940s? how old are you exactly?

seriously though, i like how that short doc was done with still photography and not video. great way to use the medium, really adds a lot to the subject, whatever it is. even interviews.

It makes you think what Manhattan as a whole will be looking like in a couple of years. Its strange to see how the small shops that built the lower east side, soho, and even chinatown can no longer survive. Hello brooklyn! but then what...
