Southern Lines

South Carolina – I was on my way to Charleston a few months back and came across this gem of a tree. Love how life like trees can be in the South.

Chadwick’s Boat – Newport Beach

Appalachian Getaway

Spent a few days last week working in The Appalachian region of North Carolina. Dig the wilderness out there. Here’s a shot a client sent over to me. Had fun working with these guys here. Beautiful little four legged creatures!

The BU by Kenzo

Here’s a shot by my buddy Kenzo at Malibu last week – Felt good to be back out in the water on my favorite twiny. In New York now hustling like a monkey! Back in CA soon for some work and play! Yeauuuh!

JT in the Coating Room

Been logging in some hours with my buddy JT. We’re working on a few marketing materials for his company. Psyched on his commitment to providing well crafted boards. He does it all from shaping to glassing and even shredding on his own magic carpets. I got to test drive a few models the other day and they are pretty killer – can’t wait to get my quiver going!

Front Row Tailgate Partay

Looking forward to seeing these faces in a few days. Scotty and Sammy are old college buddies of mine. I’ve used these guys in some old campaigns and pitches to clients. They will also be gracing the pages of a little print dealio that I am currently putting together.

Carolina Sun

Winter up north gets a little chilly. Breaking away from the city and breathing in some warmer fresh air is always great. More images to come of my sweet Carolina.

Stevie Kickin It

Stevie logging in some time on the tree bridge – Holly Jims Trail

Getting Rosay

Michael Rosas – The man, the myth, the legend at the Santa Ana studios shredding away at a few new tunes with the boys. And that Tele… That thing is awesome. Michael’s got quite an arsenal of wonderful axes.

Hamburger Wednesday Kamakura

Wow, its been three years since this photo was taken. A lot has changed in Japan since then. This trip was insane though. Really dig that country and the time spent working with some amazing people over at Generic Youth and Kinji. GY used to do this thing called “Hamburger Wednesday” where my buddy Scotty would grill up some mean burgers (with a secret recipe) every Wednesday at the design HQ in Newport Mesa. The tradition was passed onto the GY flagship store in Kamakura. Pictured above is a gal devouring one of Scott’s mouth watering burgers. So hungry now…

J Huff the Wizard

My friend Josh is a real life Gandalf. He art directs, rebuilds old cars, and makes guitars using his two hands and a magic wand. I was able to sit in and snap a few pics of him casting spells on a few beauties he made from scratch. Rumor has it these guitars sound really good. Can’t wait to tinker with one when I get back to California.

Silverlake Studios with Gash

I cruised up to LA a few months back with my buddy Corey Gash to track some drums for a Patagonia music compilation. The engineers had me sit in and plug in some guitar riffs. Gash forgot his kick pedal this session, so the boys decided to program some in. Fun night…

Armed & Harmless

Armed & Harmless – E Hop

Joe Meets Joy Coffee

I just started getting into drinking coffee again. I’ve never been a big coffee fiend as I used to bounce off the walls and get really sprung off the stuff and come crashing down hours later. Anyways, here’s a few shots from a campaign I shot for my friends over at Aster Avenue and Joe Meets Joy Coffee. We had a blast going back and forth brainstorming for days before we met up and shot photos. More than actually taking the pictures, I really enjoy the conceptual process of piecing a campaign together.

Jimi Gleason Coast to Coast

Jimi Gleason from Left to Right. California to New York. This guy’s work is mind boggling. If you get the chance you should google his name. He doesn’t have a website, but you’ll stumble across some wonderful art. Check it out – J

And We’re Baaaa

ck – Yes, its true we are back and healthier than ever. Thanks to my web guru friends Olin and Joey for the help! To celebrate, here’s a little deal I recently meshed together of some images from 2011. Stay tuned, some great things ahead for 2012. Be well. Cheers! – J

245 10th Ave

245 10th Ave – Here’s a shot from a shoot for WBC. I used to walk by this place on the High Line all the time and nerd out on its cool architecture. Got a few more gigs here coming up. Very fortunate to be working with some good people and documenting some exciting things.

Hackers Got Me Good

Crazy dudes in India, Russia, China, or the CIA hacked into the database here and injected some fairly lethal streams of CMS nerd virus. The team is working diligently to resolve this issue via Iphones, Ipads, notepads, sketch pads, memory foam pads, and yoga pads up top of the Gansevoort Hotel while sipping on Arnold Palmers and pounding some heavy shots of V8. Please be patient, we’ll get this thing back to good health in no time – J

Mista Grohl

Mista Grohl – Got to spend an evening backstage with some friends from home at a little deal in November. Had a blast catching up and hanging out. Many thanks to uncle Joe of Truth Agency for the connects!

California Citrus

California Citrus – A shot from a hike in the backyard. Props to Corey Gash for supplying the really, really old slide film. This day was one for the books and a great little break from the hustle and bustle of city living.

Montauk or Bust

Brother Noel lifestylin for the camera in Mantauk – This dude is my new lifestyle inspiration. He’s been through a lot of crazy stuff. Growing up in the hood ain’t easy – he’s managed to claw his way out of Flatbush hood rat stuff and build a successful business in New York City. Self educated and hard working – Noel Campbell every juan. I’ll be wrapping up a piece on this guy in the weeks to come. Be on the lookout!

Fletcher James

Mr. James Fletcher – James keeps a solid beat. Always. Here’s the man banging away in the Santa Ana studio. He’s laid some tracks and toured with Matt Costa in the past. As of late, he put out a solo album entitled the Booze & Clocks, which is available on itunes and is pretty killer. Also in the works is a project with his brother Matthew and some friends. Pumped to see what the future holds for these guys.

All Dressed Up

Carol Ina – South Carol Ina to be exact. Really enjoy driving through and around this state. Its got so much to offer and the scenery is breathtaking. I really dig the trees here. They kinda look like people in my opinion.

Behind the Wheel

JT en route to shred – I like to frolick in the ocean. Been doing it for a little while and have managed to make a few friends who shape surfboards. I was fortunate enough to connect with JT through my buddy Marcus over at Sea Granite. We are working on a little web project for his new site set to hit this summer. Psyched to get a few magic carpets from this fella.
