Moving Picture

As promised here is a recap of what i got up to at Paris, I travelled there to have a meeting with the Undefeated guys, talking about the way they work, the ethics they believe in and of course there latest collaboration with Puma. It was really nice to finally meet the guys behind the brand, have a catch up and listen to tales about themselves and their successes. Meeting people such as these guys always keeps me inspired and excited about the future of Suffoca.

Some neat type from the old Paris underground.

Paris

So the past weekend I hopped on the eurostar to Paris…

This was my first venture to Paris and from all the things i’d heard it was going to be interesting, so with my paint brush’s at the ready i set off . I can’t say i know alot about Pairs but i did know i wanted to check out the Musée du Louvre, from seeing it in nomours films and skate movies i thought it was time to see it for real and it does look incredibly beautiful especially at night. The Museum its self was real neat, just as you would expect packed out with bundles of art history, but the thing that i really enjoyed the most was the selective few, who were recreating some of the paintings while peopled crowded round staring in ore. 

You guys by now should know I think birds are amazing.

My time in Paris was short, but i managed to pack in aload of memories and one was meeting this dude Matthew. He works for the only rock radio in Paris OUÏ FM and has all his fingers dipped in pies, from playing in a band Admiral’s Arms to helping manage a big merch company, working in PR and more, i guess he likes staying busy. On top of that his a really nice guy and made me feel right at home while we wandered into pubs and bumped into some interesting people including an old secret detective, thanks again dude!

This guy makes real good goat’s cheese i heard…

During the trip i also got to hang out with the Undefeated & Puma crew while they prepped for the release of there new collaboration Clyde shoe. I shot a quick interview which shall be worked in to a short movie. I’m working on and a video recap of the trip coming soon, on the last hours of my venture to Paris i headed over to the All Gone 2011 book launch over at Colette, to grab some last minute chats and meet some new people. I haven’t seen this digital Polaroid before, but i thought the idea is genies a great way to encourage people to use polaroid again, hopefully ill be able to get my hands on one soon.

Look at Life

History Makes Memories

If your anything like me, in ore of the past ways of London, these series of short documentary films, produced between 1959 and 1969 called Look At Life will make your brain swell with joy.

I haven’t watched them all through yet, but these three really stuck out for me. Also as ever, Wikipedia came through with some interesting background on the whole British series “Read here“, otherwise have a little watch and let your mind wonder what you would of looked like in 1960.
