If you're from accross the pond and you wanna get your hands on a copy of Rain City Fixm, it's now available at Tokyo Fixed Gear.

The Rain City Fix color edition is finished and is available to order. Aaron and I could not be happier with how everything turned out. You can order a copy of the book from LULU by clicking here. It will also be available soon at http://www.tokyofixedgear.com.

"Aaron Edge and Brenton Salo's interest in fixed-gear culture has driven them to create a table top photography book. This (new color edition) collection of images illustrates the simple, beautiful style of Seattle's riders and their rides."

Aaron and I have decided to re-release the Rain City Fix book in full color. Last night I started working on re-editing the photos from last January's shoot in Seattle. Keep on the look out.

I just saw the trailer for Empire. Looks sweet. Also, the new issue of Fixed Magazinecan be downloaded. It has some great photos.




Zach, Jake, and Shigeo drove down for the bike film festival this weekend. Thanks to many layers of clothing and copious amounts of coffee we still managed to fight the rain, snow, ice, and wind we were able to still squeeze in some riding and shooting. It was a great weekend with new friends and old ones.

Also, I found out the hard way that canvas vans are not the best for snow.








today's playlist:
Smiths - Hatful of Hollow
Placebo - Meds
Logh - A sunset Panorama

Two photos from last Jaunary's Rain City Fix shoot in seattle.




The older I get the less likely I am, it seems, to go to shows where I’m no familiar with the bands playing. Maybe it's because I’m a music snob or I’m turning into more of a hermit (if that's possible). However, last night Lilly invited me down to the Doug Fir to see Thao Nguyen & The Get Down Stay Down. I had no idea who they were but I gave it a shot. The openers were pretty good. Just your typical indie rock-girl-singer-song-writer-types who dress like old ladies and act as awkward as possible on stage. They weren't bad but nothing special. Thao, however, was fantastic. She was full of energy. Nothing I expected. I hope her records are as fun as she was live.

This weekend is full of fun filled bike related activities. The Bike Film Festival Thursday to Saturday and The Macaframa premiere on Sunday with an alley cat and other events, all of which I’ll be at with my camera in hand.

The times are good.
