Long Overdue.

http://www.nicekicks.com/black-cab-bespoke-nike-air-force-one-high/Its been quite some time since I last put up a post.  Last few months have been real busy.  Traveling, working, shooting & of course sneaker hawking.  For this past New Year’s, I had gone to England & Paris for vacation.  Nike had just opened a new Bespoke Lab at the iconic 1948 in London., so I included that into my agenda.  I  would also be the first Yank to come to the London lab to do a Bespoke.

I’ve always been very fond of London.  I wanted to make a Bespoke that was reflective of England.  I thought of a few ideas, but when I thought about using the eye-catching London Black Cab as my inspiration.. I knew that was it.

Here is a quick article that Nice Kicks just did on my Bespoke “Black Cab”

Enjoy.

always remember.

So the other day I went to shoot One World Trade as well as the 9/11 tribute lights.  Naturally the day I chose to go, the tribute lights never went on.  I was heated.. I had a perfect spot/angle for my long exposures but the most important piece was missing.  I shot some miscellaneous pictures and called it a night.

On the way home, I kept telling my wife I had to come back and get these lights.  I was baffled as to why they weren’t on, just the night before they were on!  Maybe ConEd told them to turn it down?  Next day, the lights were back on.. what the ???

So tonight I went back and got my shots.  September 11th.  Prior to that Tuesday morning in 2001, it was just another day in September.  Its now forever etched in our memories.. sort of like what Pearl Harbor was to older Americans for generations.  I always think of how lucky I was that day…and simultaneously I always think of all the folks that weren’t lucky.  Sometimes it still feels like it was yesterday.  Never Forget.
