I apologize to those who can’t read Chinese, but my dad has written about my daily photo project at his blog, and I just feel like quoting him in here:
近日，兒子天天用他的鏡頭反映心境，每天都會問我相中的境界，我很樂意作為了解他心靈的讀者，每當我講述心中的感受時，他總會有遇上知己的感覺，有時，他會問我，為甚麼我會這麼準確了解他鏡頭中的心境？我回答他說，因為我是以心靈的眼去接觸他鏡頭下的畫面。
Did some supershopping yesterday (i.e., shopping with SuperFuture members in San Francisco), amazing sales at Archive, Ab Fits, Bloomingdale’s (their remaining Number (N)ine stuff are 50% off now!), also went down to Self Edge to check out their new Flat Head wallets and B. Son shirts. Picked up some good shit.
Here’s today’s daily photo and a rare return of an ayn waywt (what are you wearing today? thread at SuperFuture)… 🙂

This is how Washington Square looks like early morning, I caught a couple delivering newspapers. I remember we, well, she and I, used to deliver newspapers once a week in Austin, it was probably her worst job ever, but it was great time together, and believe it or not, I always looked forward to it.

Got back from Seattle, snapped this one real quick at my hallway…
Off to Seattle for work, walked Fee-Fee at around 6am and it was sorta raining, snapped a daily photo, it’s just kindda a snapshot, but I don’t want to bring my camera with me to the trip so this has to be it for today.
Also, the potential tenant for my south bay condo backed out on me, so if anyone wants to rent it let me know @ blog AT andrewng DOT com.
I took these snapshots for Kiya yesterday, these jeans are freaking sick!!
In November when Self Edge first opened we started about ten different projects all related to what denim actually means to us. Over the next year or so as each project comes to an end we’d like to share with everybody our stories and findings..
On November 16 2006 we gave a pair of one-wash Sugarcane 1947 jeans to a local San Francisco resident named Broox at no cost. The idea was that he’d wear the jeans for as long as they’d last and at the end, return them to us. Broox is not just any resident of this city, he chooses to live on the streets.
Broox has a full time job as a chef at one of San Francisco’s best known fine dining restaurants, he has some money, he has an expensive bicycle, and a very nice camera. Yet at the end of the day he finds being tied to one home too constricting, so he’s chosen a life on the streets. He’s not addicted to drugs or alcohol, he just prefers life in the out of doors.Over the time that Broox wore these jeans he took a few short trips around the country train hopping, slept in abandoned buildings around the Bay Area, went to shows and bars in the City, and held his usual full time job.
He had them on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from November 16 2006 to July 6 2007, they were washed two times. During that period we repaired them for him once, but while on one of his trips he tore a hole in the crotch, he found some denim and patched it using a needle and mouth floss as stitching.This is the story of Broox, through his jeans.
This was actually a hookup on Superfuture, I got a PM about possibly featuring OnMyList on Under the Radar. They finally published the article at their blog! 🙂
