b-day

2015-shotbyjake.com-0574

My B-day was on Sunday. We took a little trip upstate to check out the leaves. It was still a little on the early side for colorful foliage. Next weekend will probably be closer to peak. We did a little hike near Cold Spring and encountered some pretty good light in the process.

TBT Alaska

I was perusing through a lot of old photos the past couple of weeks, trying to update my book. Here are some goodies from Alaska that I came across. I don’t think that I have ever posted the one of the guys in the skiff, right before the downpour (which happens hourly in Ketchikan). Some fond memories here.

Burton Presents..

It is always tough to let summer go. I’m still lamenting the fact the it is officially over. But nothing gets me in the mood for the colder weather like a good snowboarding vid. Burton had some very good timing when they dropped this gem in my inbox earlier this week. Watch Ethan Driss and Zak Hale shred, below:

New Hood, New Good

I have been in my new hood for one month now. One of the best things about moving to a new neighborhood is exploring and finding all of your new go-to spots. I’m very much enjoying that process.

House of Gant

2015-shotbyjake.com-9995

Even though I haven’t been shooting as much fashion lately, I didn’t want to completely sit out on this round of NYFW. Last week I popped by GANT’s S/S 2016 presentation. I have a thing for labels that steer clear of using shock in an attempt to create buzz. It seems like NYFW has been becoming more carnival-esqe with each successive season.

I appreciated the lack of theatrics at the GANT presentation. The collections (they showed 3: GANT Originals, Rugger and Diamond G) were equally pleasing. Nothing wacky, no shock factor. Lots of solids and conservative cuts. Totally my jam. Here are some of my favorite looks.
