Skywalker Ranch video…. landscape, buildings NOW with less/no light sabers…

By Jarod DeAnda, December 30, 2009

My friend JOSH just told me it’s a life goal to make it to Skywalker Ranch, I have to agree!!!!
I’m gonna try and make it there too!!!!
Only problem is I’m gonna HAVE to bring my son at THE LEAST!

He sent me this video by Philip Bloom and I thought I’d share it with you, Josh is an amazing photographer based in Orange County. He enjoyed this because it’s shot with Canon 5DmkII conformed to 24p and the Canon 7D shooting native 24p.

Check out the whole behind the scenes and story of Philip Bloom’s, lucky!

5 & A DIME – You’ll ALWAYS have friends in San Diego…

By Jarod DeAnda, December 14, 2009

Jay or Jay “Dread” as he was ONCE known, and the 5 & A DIME crew sent me a San Diego care package…
Check out 5 & A DIME at their super solid, fresh, mustache adorned shop, it’s a must see!!!!
I’ve always been stoked on Jay, the progression of his shop, his adhering to the SD culture of cars, good people, mash Ethnicity culture and just having a good time!

Some time ago they created a super rad collection called The Fighting Five…
These tee’s, logos and imagery are inspired by the flight squadron wing logos, patches, etc…
Being in San Diego there’s a LARGE military foundation with USMC being up North, Navy downtown and across the bay at North Island and of course what used to be TOP GUN at Miramar…

Well now, check out these radical graphics from the 5 & A DIME team…
They also have some great brands they carry at their shop….
Click here for more info on the shop and to BUY!!!!!!!

Start with the hoodie inspired by Jay himself and his facial hair of choice…

Here’s the front of 4 of the tee’s…

Here’s the backs in order as they appear above…



And one to get over!!!!!!

Thanks so much Jay, you rule…
You always have a place to stay when you visit AZ brother!!!!!

By Jarod DeAnda, December 13, 2009

I took off my sons training wheels on his bike to see how he’d do…
He still needs them but not going downhills, he does good with momentum not on flat land…
Took him on the grass so he can fall down…

Winter in AZ is awesome!
Picked up a couple kegs!
