In a world where everyone is so overexposed, it is becoming way cooler to maintain your mystery.

Woke up one morning and decided to take a walk through the beach. I only like going there either early mornings or before sunset. I like the gloomy vibe from the clouds coming from the sea. The fresh salty ocean air, the cool sand relaxing my feet. This is the place to be, this is the place where I like to think and plot my next move.

Who knows how many times I have photographed Belinda. Like most things it all started with a text. These days getting our schedules right is much harder to do than ever before. The thing was that Belinda was here for a limited time and I needed to shoot her, for i wouldn’t get another shot to photographer her for another few months or possibly next year.

I conveniently had 35mm film with me, and had recently found a place near Norwalk to develop my film. So I said, “Why not?” and I shot her with some expired fuji film. After developing the film, i fell in love with shooting film once again. The colors, the contrast, the location, everything about the shoot came out right.

Enjoy.

We love music, specially hip hop, but as I kept reading and people complaining about the new generation of hip hop, that there is no good rappers anymore. We got an idea to show case some of the hip hop artist that we meet along that way and have some sort of unique style. So we created this new segment called “Back Alley Raps”. This will be series we will do monthly, giving a spot light to a fresh new artist. On this edition of “Back Alley Raps” it’s the homie Rasheed.  If you know SPM from Dope House then you are going to know Rasheed, and if you don’t know Rasheed well check out him out in this edition of “Back Alley Raps”.

The more we grow the more we are having people from out of states and even out the country stop by the flag ship store when they are visiting Los Angeles. The homie Juan Diego came to Cali to shoot one of his videos “Salud” and he wanted one of the scenes to be shot at the OE shop. So because of that love that he showed us, we want to give it right back by sharing his new video “Salud” check it out.

I was out shooting a video this Sunday and I happened to end up in the LA River. After I was done filming I started to enjoy the sounds of the city as they echo through the river bed. From the distance I saw a man about to jump into the water, which is not something I would suggest anyone to do, but there he was taking off his shirt, his socks and unbuckling his belt. All we could say was, “The struggle is real.” We moved on, trying to jump the fence without the cop that patrols the train tracks could see us. By that time I turned to my left to watch the view that I never seem to get over, the sun settling behind DTLA. The rays of light piercing between the skyscrapers as if it was the heavens giving hope to the concrete jungle. “This is what they call the Golden hour. Stay gold Pony boy, stay gold.” I said out loud to myself. “Who’s Pony Boy?” the homie said. “Oh nothing, just a reminder to myself that if you can make it in this city, you can make it anywhere; conquer Los Angeles is the mission.”

I know some of you have been waiting for a long time to have an LA pro football team. Well this year you all got your wish. The return of the LA Rams is here! Finally you can just drive to the Memorial Coliseum and cheer for a hometown team. So if you are about that LA Rams, we designed this specially for you. “LA Raised” was an inspiration from Los Angeles first team way before the Raiders. The Rams came to be Los Angeles very first official pro football team in 1946 to 1994. But before Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum could lease them the stadium they had one condition, to integrate their team with at least one black football player. Which they went on to signing Kenny Washington, making the Rams the first team to integrate an African-American to the NFL. Making other NFL franchise owners furious.  So they went on and added a second black player, Woody Strode,  at the end of the 1946 season the Rams had two black players. That’s just a little history of how the Rams came to be LA’s first hometown team way before the Raiders. So if you are a Rams fan, hope you like this design, LA Raised.

It’s interesting how we are engaged in people’s life journeys through social media. One artist that has really inspired me in the recent months has been hip hop artist 2Mex. I started really paying attention to his instagram posts when he first checked into the emergency care due to complications with his diabetes. As the posts kept updating the time line kept getting darker. 2Mex was about to lose his leg and maybe his life. Suddenly I see an ig video in a dark hospital room, the flashlight from the phone shining at the empty spot were his leg used to be, and him repeating, “This too shall heal, this too shall heal.”  2Mex’s right leg from the knee down was amputated and his life was changed forever. I kept checking up on his instagram and saw how many people came to support him. How much love and prayers were sent his way. Which it seems that all that love from his fans, family and friends seemed to give him strength. I am now currently staying updated in his progress from him learning to walk with a prosthetic leg, to going to back working weekly at 93.5 KDAY and his new journey on advocating health. Which it is one thing that we lack on. We think we are invincible, we think we may live forever, we think that it can’t happen to us. The reality is, we are all fragile, sure we are distracted so much that we forget to take care of our health or we think is not relevant to teach or learn healthy choices that can make us stronger. The thing is what is fame and fortune if you are sick? What is fame and fortune if you can’t get out of bed to enjoy it? Health is the greatest gift given to man. So in words of 2Mex ‘Everybody use what the fuck has happened to me as an example go take care of yourself.’

We are always celebrating a new release of a design. There’s a big process for us developing a product that we believe in and that our supporters will enjoy. We have several of meetings, we debate about it, we take field trips to get inspired by the colors we want and the direction we want to take the campaigns. We post it on our wall and stare at it for days until a little voice in our head says, ‘It’s ready’. So after finally going through that process we feel like celebrating by always doing something different and special for each and one of our releases. For this design we are opening our flag ship shop on a Saturday since we normally don’t and we feel that people that can’t make it during the week miss on the experience of picking of an OE product fresh off the press. We will be open this Saturday from 11am to 4pm and we will be giving out free beers and cheering for another step forward in chasing our dreams. So come down:
