Sometimes you find someone you just really click with and I found that with Jordan, we shoot every once in a while and when we do we always have a great time.
This spread is for Denue published in Issue 9 of Vigour Magazine in January, you can grab a copy here.
Denue is a denim reseller based in Toronto, you should check them out.
You know how much I love Denim right?
Well, I decided to put together a shoot featuring a couple of my favourite pairs. A pair of APC vintage dark dye denim that has been repaired many times and a pair of Golden from way back that no longer have knees. I haven’t had to mend them yet but they are on the verge.
This spread is featuring two models from Home Team Models, John and Cheyenne floating around my building because it was way too rainy to shoot outside. My building is over 60 years old and I think you can tell from the decor.
Thanks, Selin Mag Issue 35 Vol 47.
If you know me, you know I am obsessed with denim. The history of it, the look and feel of it and having a pair that feels like you never want to take them off.
I found a pair recently, a pair that probably should have been thrown to the landfill, instead I resurrected them and made a story about it.
Do you have any denim stories you want to share? I would love to hear them.
If you saw last week’s post you will know that I have been blogging since 2006.
I studied Multimedia at UBC and learned about blogging and how it was becoming monitized from a fab instructor in a class called Beyond the Black Box. I have to admit that I took the class because I thought it was going to be a bird course. Boy was I wrong, it was one of the toughest courses over my three year degree. (I sped things up by taking courses at night).
Our professor made us research and do presentations on the movers and the shakers of the time and even noted that we would eventually be walking around with a digital ‘world’ in our pockets.
We all kinda thought they were crazy but here we are, so not so crazy afterall.
I just really think about that sometimes, the times when someone introduced a concept to me that. I thought was too far fetched to grasp and later became mainstream.
We are surrounded by a million ideas every single day, some of them even float into our own thoughts, most are external and often we just scroll by.
What are people going to look back on from this era? Other than climate change, war, inflation and political unrest what do we have that has moved us forward? The first person to say TikTok is outta here!
I’m serious, I would love to know your thoughts because this is something I consider often and other than really learning the value of human connection over the past five years I can’t really put my finger on a personal learning that has influenced me so much.
Can you?
What an incredible shoot, Cheyenna is hearing impaired and this was a first for me. I was concerned about how it would all come together and I didn’t need to worry at all. We connected and communicated easily with the help of an iPhone and Cheyenna taught me a few signs to help me along with giving instruction during our shoot.
