Spicing it up (or dumbing it down, depending on perspective) a bit, this week, with a video. I normally don’t like to clutter this page up, too much with videos (unless they are of Piper or Reagan), but I’m making an exception this time. Since Labor Day, has already thrown everything off kilter this week … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #41 (CB)→
I cracked up, when I saw these today. Calvin Klein is relasing them this October. They are the CK USB Frames. The frames contain a USB flash memory stick that holds 4GB. I think that this may be the coolest nerdy thing that has been invented, to date. They will be featured in “Ocean’s 15,” … Continue reading CK Spy Glasses→
I cracked up when I saw this twist on the infamous Shepard Fairey Andre the Giant stencil. It comes from PAtriX Flickr Album. It is part of her “Berlin” set. So I’m assuming that is where she shot it. The artist appears to be Elio Varuna. I thought it was kind of clever.
I have been keeping a photblog at photos.jakesnewblog.com for a couple of months. At first I really liked it. I liked making the photos show up 1000px wide, and all that jazz. But I really haven’t been feeling it lately. So I have decided to totally abandon the daily photoblog, for a quick and dirty … Continue reading Tumblr→
Chico Science & Nação Zumbi, is a Brazilian rock/funk/hip-hop-outfit. Chico Science was the point man of Nação Zumbi until he was killed in the late 90’s by a drunk driver. He was the creative force behind the music. Even the album artwork was heavily influence by Chico. The image of a crap appears on almost … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #40 (CSNZ)→
If you read Wired, then you probably already saw this thing. I thought it was so cool that I wanted to share it. The photo is of the “living wall” on the Athenaeum Hotel in London. This wall is one of the several architectural/gardening hybrid creations by Patrick Blanc. The wall is covered with felt … Continue reading Reinforced Shrubbery→
Last night Common played a show on Bower at Capitale. It was to promote a new Diesel fragrance. I’m sure that if you read magazines, you have seen the ads. Anyway, I was shooting the red carpet for SoJones. It worked out well, since Reagan had a girls night, tonight. It was the first time … Continue reading Common Sense + Diesel→
I was clearing off the memory card this morning and found this gem from Sunday. It is from our visit Sunday morning, before dropping my dad at the airport. Piper was sporting a Coolio-esqe (or maybe ODB) hair style. It was pretty cute. She was clearly loving it, showing off her little Brit teeth and … Continue reading Piper’s Coolio Do→
He is alive and well, riding the A train. I have actually seen this 2-seat dude on the A train, a hand full of times, now. He always has his ipod cranked so loud that everyone can hear it, as he mouths the words and does that head-bob, that only really huge guys can do. … Continue reading Biggie’s not dead→
I really enjoyed this multi-page Tommy Hilfiger ad. It depicts some young guys (maybe interns or pages) wandering around Capitol Hill in suits. Not bad. But then upon turning the page, it shows the footwear. Elastic-side 3/4 high boots. From any perspective, I’m pretty sure that consensus would be that these boots are dubiously appropriate … Continue reading Drunk Boots→
