Brad from Coal is down today from a little town to the north called, “Seattle” (Known for it’s coffee, I’ve heard.) and we are shooting the new ad campaign for the upcoming advertising season. A yearly deal. Mark Welsh is shooting the deal for us this year. Pretty fired up about it all.

Embry Rucker took the shot above. An outtake from last year’s campaign. Bravo, man. Look how stoic we look. Shitchyah. Hell, we could be brothers.

Whole lotta grabbing going on: Another one of Brad and I.

From over 25 years ago:
The photography of Stephen Shore. Some of the greatest stuff, ever. it’s amazing how an old image can feel like “today,” when, usually, they feel painfully dated. Shore’s work always has me chekcing the dates, unable to pinpoint what time they might be from. The quality is too good.
