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...

STAPLE x LOMO.

lomo_staple_invite.jpg

We started working with Lomography (aka LOMO), about one year ago now, putting the finishing touches on this project. The set includes an incredible camera called The Colorsplash as well as a massive hardcover photo book with over 1000 images. We asked the entire Lomographic Community at large to submit photos and our team went through the painstaking process of photo editing, art directing and laying the book out.
With Lomographers all across the world aiming their lenses and firing a colored flash burst at any and every given opportunity, you can truly call this a bona-fide positive social contagion—the ultimate global collaboration. But this begs an important question: where does the motivation and inspiration for all of this hyperactivity stem from? We gave our photographers a mission statement. The concept was to follow the guidelines of the Chakras. (Chakras are commonly described, as energy centers in the spine located at major branchings of the human nervous system, beginning at the base of the spinal column and moving upward to the top of the skull. Chakras are considered to be a point of metaphysical and biophysical energy of the human body.)
Chakras are represented by color (and each color happens to correspond to a color flash filter on the Lomo Colorsplash Camera ; )
• Purple Colorsplash Chakra: Peace, tranquility, and closeness
• Blue Colorsplash Chakra: Music, nightlife, parties, and gatherings
• Green Colorsplash Chakra: Nature, Life, and Animals
• Yellow Colorsplash Chakra: Activities, diversions, and sports
• Orange Colorsplash Chakra: Consumption, eating, buying, and collecting
• Red Colorsplash Images: Sex, Passion, Love, and Strength
• Multicolor Colorsplash Images: Don't Care About any Rules
僕たちは一年前からLomography(aka LOMO)とこのプロジェクトの最終調整をし、進めてきました。このセットはThe Colorsplashというすばらしいカメラと1000枚の写真を含む巨大なハードカバーの写真集の組み合わせです。僕たちはロモグラフィーのコミュニティー全体に写真を出品するよう依頼し、我々のチームが写真編集、アートディレクションやレイアウトなどの作業を慎重にしました。
世界中のロモグラファー達があらゆる場面にレンズを向け、カラーフラッシュを炊いてくださったので、これは本家本元のpositive social contagion(社会的にポジティブな影響を広める活動)−究極の世界コラボレーション。これにはとても重要な疑問が持ち上がります:この活発な活動の元となるモチベーションとインスピレーションはどこから来るのだろう?僕達はフォトグラファーたちに目標を提示しました。そのコンセプトはチャクラのガイドラインに従うこと。(チャクラは一般的に人間の背骨にある神経系の枝分かれになる部分に位置するエネルギーセンターで、背骨の元から頭蓋骨の上まで移動します。チャクラは人間の体の抽象的、生物物理学的エネルギーの中心点とされています。)
チャクラは色で識別されます。(そして、それぞれの色がLomo Colorsplash Cameraのカラーフラッシュフィルターにも一致します。)
・パープル カラースプラッシュ チャクラ:平和、平穏、親密
・ブルー カラースプラッシュ チャクラ:音楽、ナイトライフ、パーティー、集まり
・グリーン カラースプラッシュ チャクラ:自然、命、動物
・イエロー カラースプラッシュ チャクラ:活動、娯楽、スポーツ
・オレンジ カラースプラッシュ チャクラ:消費、食、買う、収集
・レッド カラースプラッシュ チャクラ:セックス、パッション、愛、強さ
・マルチ カラースプラッシュ 画像:ルールなんて関係ない

Hundreds of Lomographers teamed up with an elite squad of eleven Commissioned Chakra photographers to produce several thousand images. All-Star Photographers include:
