ON & BEYOND

I’m excited to say I’ll be shooting Penfield‘s Spring/Summer 2012 lookbook tomorrow morning. Penfield have had an impressive roster of photographers work on their previous collections; so it is a humbling feeling to be associated to all the others who’ve preceded me. This is my kit. Ready.

Guess i’m running for life.

After spending a good 20 minutes searching for the WM boutique in Daikanyama, I somehow ended up finding the HQ where I was greeted by Thomas, White Mountaineering’s International Account Rep (pictured below). He then brought me to the shop where I got to shake hands (and perform a bow of respect) with Aizawa himself. He went through the SS11 line with me as I snapped away. Finally, I was given the rare chance to shoot some images of the shop.

One of the pleasures of my not so recent, but still relevant trip to Japan, is meeting the folks at NEXUSVII®. I got a peek at their upcoming offerings from head designer Tomohiro and his right-hand man Tsuyoshi who was also my Shibuya tour guide!

The goods are now available!!!

Picked up this Veilance sample jacket from the reborn warehouse sale… I don’t recall seeing this bomber silhouette in any of the passed collections, (correct me if I’m wrong), maybe it is to be released later this year (Correction: Mr. Mann confirmed its from fw10). The 3XDRY Schoeller softshell is gonna keep me dry and warm on cold summer nights. I saw many other light jackets at the warehouse that should be releasing in the upcoming season, it’s looking good for the Canadian tech specialists.

With the release of the fourth issue of Inventory Magazine just around the corner, here are some outtakes from the shoot I did at the DLXE/BEDWIN offices. Hue and Jey were some of the nicest people I met on my trip. Big thanks to the Inventory crew for making it happen.

Did you pre-order your issue yet??
