Street shooting vol.1
There is still a lot I have to learn about photography, but something that I’ve always envied were street shooters. While I take inanimate objects, and try to breed life into them, street photographers capture raw emotion and the heat of a moment. So I figured for once, I’d give it a whirl, and I must say I enjoyed it. This adventure, while not producing the most spectacular imagery, did teach me a couple lessons. First, people get really afraid when you still a serious camera in their face, I understand now why so many still use smaller film/leica digitals. Second, this shit is really hard, shooting in the city requires memorizing setting for different lighting conditions. Or at least, my inexperience caused me to have to do it. whatever, it was way more entertaining then I expected, and will more then likely give it a shot again. Please tell me what you think…
FYI, this isn’t ALL the shots I took, I’ll post more later. I need a reason for people to come back to my site damnit!
“BKc Academy” SF Pop-Up Shop rundown
This past weekend I was fortunate enough to attend the launch of the Brooklyn Circus’ “BKc Academy” pop-up shop launch. The event itself was great, as is the norm with anything BKc puts on, but one of the highlights of the event, was getting a chance to see the new holiday releases. All I can say is, daaayum… The pop-up, I believe, will be open until the end of the year, check the BKc blog for location and details. For those of you that can’t make it out to the pop-up, you might wanna give the guys a ring if you see anything you might be interested in. I would before the word gets out.
I need one of these parkas bad.

Brooklyn Circus SF
I don’t know how things like this happen, but I must admit, today was my first time stopping by the flagship shop for Brooklyn Circus. Its particularly maddening because I’m usually just around the corner on Post street every couple weekends. That being said, I did mentally kick myself in the ass a little bit after finally stepping foot in. Upon entering, the shop reminds you of an era when guys dressed to the nines on the regular, and could beat the piss outta you without breaking a sweat. Its something that you really need to experience to understand.
With an excellent atmosphere to the shop, top notch customer service and the threads to match, this is high on my list of shops you need to visit. Pictures from my Trip to the San francisco shop after the jump.
