True.

emerica posted a great interview with artist and skateboarder Ed Templeton. We felt a certain skinship with the Toy Machiner when he mentioned that some days he just gets out of bed, walks over to his computer naked and spends the rest of the day working without ever putting his clothes on.
There were a few days this past summer when I didn’t get dressed the whole day. I literally got out of bed, worked all day, and even hung out on the couch naked watching TV with Deanna. But, I don’t really like to eat naked. It feels kind of gross. At some point in the day, I usually end up putting on a t-shirt and boxers, at the most.
We are currently wearing clothes, however we know exactly what he’s talking about. For more insights into the life of Ed, click the link.

Dogtown originator C.R. Stecyk III has just designed a blue skies and palm trees version of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII, according to a post on Nice Kicks.
As with previous customized Air Max LeBron VII colorways, this shoe also owns a plethora of qualities that are inspired by James’s life and the respective city. For example, its colors represent the blue skies (side panels) and the rich bronze of the soil in Pueblo (predominance of the upper). Other elements such as palm trees and telephone poles also pay tribute to the city of Los Angeles.
Nike really is the de Medicis of the new age.

Photographer Ari Marcopolous has a new show opening on Wednesday night (September 23, 2009) at the University of California at Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive titled Within Arm’s Reach.
Ari Marcopoulos’s photographs convey a remarkable feeling of intimacy. He draws the viewer into relationships with his subjects that could only have been achieved through a powerful experience of empathy and engagement. Self-taught as a photographer, Marcopoulos makes photographs that are often imbued with a subtle formalism, a classical austerity—informed by the artist’s broad knowledge of art history—combined with an intuitive approach and an ability to adapt to the moment.
There will also be a new book released at the show the will go perfectly in our library next to Transitions And Exits. The show runs through February 7, 2010. For more information follow the link.

The New York Times Lens section has a nice profile on OG surf photographer Brian Bielmann.
“The macho photographers who shoot fisheye, they’re all impressed by the heaviest situation,” Mr. Bielmann said. “But I don’t see it that way. I don’t look for how hard a photo was to get, I just look at the end result.”
No, Brian doesn’t need to prove anything these days.
