cleaned out the mac today...here are some of my fave pics, all off my canon and iphone between july 16th 2007 (first day at beats) to today...
will miss this place.
drum jam malaysia
Andy getting owned by 1K...those were the days
his reaction
possibly the happiest day in five years here.
The first and only time the entire Beats team went to one assignment together, which resulted in perhaps, the greatest issue of beats ever.
2008
2009...exact same spot. I like how it looks like I kept the same hairstyle for a year when I grew that thing out Bill and Ted style in between these two pics.
Oh yeahhhhh
Queen Sea Big Shark. Beijing version of YEAH YEAH YEAHS
Doing the Jordan fist pump before the ball even got to the pins cause I knew it was gonna be a strike. It was.
They flat out told me that Horry's shove on Nash was dirty. And these are SPURS DANCERS! David Stern... I'm still mad at you for suspending Diaw and Amare man...
Le French May. UPHILL crowd surfing in Sheung Wan.
i've worked with four designers and all four were rad. the first one was this slim model looking chick who dressed like freaking Blossom (the tv character) to work everyday. the second was this 40 something dude who was into Saint Seiya the manga, the fourth was 1k. And this is the third, the one I coined "the rock and roll designer". He lived in his bandroom, which had no shower, so he'd shower at the parks every other day. He'd sleep on the floor of the office whenever whereever, and at night when we're alone in office he turns Nirvana on really loud and does a one man circle pit. A one man circle pit... that shouldn't even be possible but he does it.
Beats condom... yes seriously.
My last game before official "retirement" from league ball.
The 1996 Atlanta Olympic torch. Gary Payton touched this thing at one point or another.
June 08, office split between LA and Boston. I was rootig for Boston, which led to this email from a Warner music exec warning me not to go back to LA because I was a "traitor". Please. Paul Pierce is more LA than the all y'all combined.
Johnnie To, greatest HK filmmaker ever...beyonce style "to the left, to the left"
ed banger crew
doing flips on a bus during a drunken night to park island
Oh yeah I smelled what he was cooking.
Beyond tribute show. Amazing night.
Smooth. aka the dude who played with Magic Johnson and Gary Payton. And that's the Human Highlight Film in the back
Allan Houston, the most genuine and nicest celeb I interviewed during my two years.
Noel Gallagher. When he trashed the Chinese government, I laughed out loud, that was cool.
I don't wanna talk trash, oh wait i don't care... but the record label for Duffy set up this group interview in the morning and it was the most ridiculous group interview I've been a part of. This pic only covers one end of the journalists, in total there were 27 heads in the room to interview Duffy. TWENTY SEVEN PEOPLE IN A TEN MINUTE GROUP INTERVIEW. Look... she ain't that big, yo. The next day I interviewed Oliver Stone and I only had to share the roundtable with 3 others. Because the PR for Emperor got their shit together.
According to Emperor PR Oliver Stone was smoking pot in between interviews...
Filmart and HKIFF, my favorite time of the year.
amazing soundtrack. all the young dudes
Ga Yum Yan, aka legendary HK indie rockers.
Jamie D, top five favorite coworker during my two years here
