The DSLR HD game just got real! As of late we have been seeing a lot of HD options from Canon, Nikon and now Pentax jumps into the game.

“Pentax’s latest K series DSLR should be getting official real soon now, but there’s still a few days left before that rumored May 21st launch date”

“The K-7 (or K7D) will be a 14.6-megapixel DSLR, and will boast a new Prime II imaging engine, along with the increasingly standard HD video recording. Which offers such details as a 3-inch VGA LCD, continuous JPEG shooting at 5.2 frames per second, a viewfinder with 100% image coverage, a new 77-Segment Multi-Pattern metering system, a built-in AF assist light, and an integrated HDR mode, among countless other features.”

DC AND SE RACING LAUNCH THE PK RIPPER FIXED GEAR BIKE PROJECT

May 18, 2009 – VISTA, CA –DC is proud to introduce the PK Ripper Fixed Gear, the third installment in a series of limited edition bike projects from DC and SE Racing, all designed to embrace the heritage of the brand and the sport. A collector’s item, the PK Ripper Fixed Gear bike production will be limited to only 2,500 bikes worldwide.

The Fixed Gear collaboration mixes a touch of 1970’s bike nostalgia with modern bike performance features. Inspirations for the PK Ripper Fixed Gear bike‘s design aesthetic stem directly from the original DC x SE Racing PK Ripper collaboration. The new fixed gear bike design details are directly inspired from the classic PK Ripper BMX bike, complete with Floval tubing, Landing Gear fork and Looptail rear end. This blend of old school BMX and a modern fixed gear bike not only takes its cues from the PK Ripper BMX construction but also its colorways—Matte Black and Ball Burnished Silver.

DC and SE Racing first joined together in 2007 for their exclusive limited edition project “30 Years of Radness.” The project honored 30-plus years of BMX history, and DC and SE Racing celebrated with a re-release of the PK Ripper bike in its original aesthetic for an exclusive limited edition quantity. In 2008, DC and SE Racing joined forces once again with the release of the DC x SE Racing 24” Quadangle. The Quadangle, or the Quad Looptail as it was known, was a 1980’s freestyle classic, and for the second collaboration DC and SE Racing re-released the BMX bike in for the first time ever, in a 24” version the same classic frame.

The DC PK Ripper Fixed Gear bike’s Matte Black and Ball Burnished Silver colorways will both be limited to only 1,250 each worldwide. The bike will be available for $1,000 at select boutiques and specialty bike shops worldwide.

If you’re anything like me it means that you’re on a constant hunt for dope heather grey sweat pants. You know the one’s that fall on your sneakers just right? The ones you can wash and still look brand new? The ones that don’t shrink in the wash and the draw strings always stay intact. I’m not sure if these are the ones but they sure look good! Degaine seems to have some of the characteristics I’m looking for, the small details on this pair make them interesting. $129

I’ve had these images in my footwear folder for a while and I was not sure if I liked them or not! I felt like they were cool cause the heel was really flexible and could be my lazy dress shoe as I just slide my foot inside. I always pegged Moschino as a girls brand since BIG branded it as such. These are pretty fresh though.

We went out Friday night to celebrate a few things! A new beginning for a great friend of mine and the end of great thing for a great friend of mine. We needed a reason to Pop bottles and poor out some liquor…

I had the usual beverage of C + V but Toddy suggested I try the C + V & OJ and it was quite delightful. Mr. Garcon was on Red all night until the bottles came out.

Some of the bartenders are really comfy around my camera…
