Johan Malkoski SIA. 2012

Freshly home from 11 days at SIA in Denver, 4 kids sitting on the neighbourhood church stoop fired hand fulls of rocks at Johans Burban. He chased em down, caught one, cops came and Johan says “They made me feel like I was in the fault.Payback I guess from when Booka Brown and Fat Eddie and I used to fire rocks at cars when I was a kid”

Nice work Johan.

Not too many people can take things like this so well, lesson learned.

Holden teams up with the Impossible Project

Holden teams up with The Impossible Project, limited edition Polaroid camera kits to come

Portland, Oregon (February 1, 2012) Holden X Impossible will be releasing custom made limited edition Holden-branded Polaroid camera kits featuring one of the most highly embraced cameras by any analog instant photography enthusiast: The SX-70. Produced in 1972, the camera is the first analog single lens reflex camera to use the one-step self-processing film. It is one of the most sought after analog instant cameras and has attracted renowned names like Pop Artist, Andy Warhol and Modern Designers, Charles and Ray Eames.

The SX-70 delivers lovely shallow depth of field instant photos and is known for it’s collapsible design, even compact enough to be pocketable (a mere 1” thickness to be exact). The SX-70 features 116mm f8- f22 aperture lens, manual focus from infinity to 10.4,” automatic exposure and electronic shutter that does not require a battery (as the Holden X Impossible film packs include built in ones.) Distinctively modest with clean lines and with a choice of either a black or white finish, the camera has been carefully reconditioned and recovered with custom wool and quilting details exceptionally designed by Holden. Together with The Impossible Project, Holden hopes to bring back the art of analog instant photography by offering the camera kit as well as support with a multinational analog instant photography exhibition.

Holden Design Director Scott Zergebel says, “This was a really fun project! We all love Polaroid and having the opportunity to add something unique and beautiful to this camera was exciting. We looked to our Fall 2012 collection and utilized the materials and quilted look from a few of our key styles to update the skin of the SX-70.”

Set to be released in August 2012, the special edition kits will include one leather camera/film bag (designed by Holden, produced by Tanner Goods), one pack of limited edition Holden X Impossible PX70 Color Shade film pack with an ND filter and a custom Holden Polaroid SX-70 camera – all carefully packaged in a handcrafted wood box. The Holden X Impossible camera kits will be available on Holdenouterwear.com <http://Holdenouterwear.com> , selected boutiques, and at all Holden X Impossible exhibitions.

Obey Awareness: Urban Roots

OBEY AWARENESS: URBAN ROOTS
Obey just launched a new Awareness project with Urban Roots. Obey is raising funds in support of a call to action that creates farms within schools in urban areas. These farms are used not only to grow food but to educate as well. Since funding for this type of project was not previously available, Tree Media Foundation partnered with the Green Schoolhouse- a Los Angeles-based school garden consulting and design company. Together they created a pilot program to build school farms called “Field of Dreams”. The Field of Dreams farms function as an outdoor classroom where high school students learn the sustainable practices of planting, composting and water conservation to grow food with the highest organic and nutritional value. Each school will experience the growth cycle from seed, to harvest, to table. The goal of the project is for students to bring home the message that growing your own food is a simple and vital process.
