After spending few weeks of my “blog time” on Instagram, I decided to go back to my real camera for the morning commute with my kids and take some real photos.
Here is the few I selected for the 12Oz family. Hope you’ll enjoy them.

Happy new year to my fellow bloggers, family, friends, fans, gangsters,bombers, hipsters,haters and New Yorkers.

KLUGHAUS Gallery website is up.

When I played soccer as a kid I was always in love with the Brazil team (and still to this day). Socrates was one of their best player and my favorite one. I didn’t miss one game of the world cup played by the Seleção during Espana “82. That summer he did the most incredible moves and scored perfect goals. I had a chance to see him play against Switzerland in the mid 80’s in Basel and I kept great memories of that game. Socrates became a doctor after is soccer career and a big political activist in Brasil. He was a really smart gentleman. He had one problem. He loved to drink and smoke so much even when he was a professional player. That lead him to major health problem and ultimately to his death. REST IN POWER doctor Socrates.

Our Victory journal issue 3 came out yesterday. We got amazing contributions from super talented photographers Christopher Anderson, Cheryl Dunn, Anthony Blasko and Chadwick Tyler. Our friend Mickey Duzyj also delivered an amazing illustrated story of the 86 Mets. Here is a sneak preview of the issue.

Shout out to my NY Shaolin brothers and sisters who took many trophies this past week end at the KTC in Queens. The competition was fearless and over 800 martial artists competed. It was an amazing experience that reminded me the electricity in the air of classic b-boy battles.

After being in the street wear game for over a decade, I totally lost passion for it and moved on to new creative outlets. It’s rare that nowadays I find a local brand that’s original or true to who they really are as persons. Last week I visited my friend Micah in Harlem who has been building at a steady pace his brand Only NY. His brand is one of the few remaining small NY brands with an individual personality. Micah loves to fish, loves NY, likes to take photos, draws really naive artwork with bold color combos, and guess what? His passions are reflected in every piece of his line. By the way, thanks a lot for the goods… I am actually wearing them. Check also his newsstand section. There is a lot of visual goodies.

I have always been passionate about street photography and I have been doing my fair share of it. If I was doing it as a full time job, I would probably try to compete against Tom Gould. Tom and I share the same passion and kind of visual filtering of New York cityscapes and its chaos. But that’s were the comparison stops and that’s why he is a photographer and I am just an iconoclast. His photos are amazing and he is stepping up his game month after month. If that’s not enough, Tom also shoot some dope videos like the one bellow. Support him and hire him.
