New book! Tobin, the Stonemasters & Me 1970-1980 . It has truly been an honor to work with author Rick Accomazzo and publisher Mike Graham of Stonemaster Books—both of whom are renowned climbers—for this new title remembering the short, but remarkable life of American rock climber and alpinist, Tobin Sorenson. 360 pages, 120 photographs. Go to stonemasterbooks.com @stonemasterbooks to buy a copy and support independent publishing.

Saturday, November 13, 2021. I’m extraordinarily thankful I got to work with John Witzig for his first US show at Mollusk Santa Barbara. Not only is he one of my favorite photographers, but he’s also a great collaborator, sweating each and every detail with TA and I for the past few months. Thanks to John McCambridge and the whole Mollusk crew for making it feel easy and fun. Charles @rustyoldcamera , thanks for the beautiful install, wish you were there last night. The show is up til mid-December, be sure to swing by. 📸 @kat_borchart

“Good things take time.” ⁣ ⁣ ROSE & CO is a new eyewear company at rose-co.us and @rosecoeyewear .⁣ ⁣ Its been an extraordinary experience over the past year building ROSE & CO alongside David Rose @junarose . 🌹🔨⁣ ⁣ There’s a lot of pieces to the puzzle: product, manufacturing, typography, color, text, materials, photography, models, styling, code, etc. The hope is that all of these things come together and create some kind of harmony. But behind it all are some very talented, creative people that I was lucky to bring on for this project. ⁣ ⁣ Thank you Anne @annepants for being part of our little garage band and helping turn our fuzzy ideas into words. This is only the start; we are still just at our Trent Reznor marching band phase.🎷⁣ ⁣ Thank you Nathaniel @nathanielperales for turning code into an art form. 🎨 Not sure how we would have launched this if it wasn’t for @vladimircauchemar 💀🔌 ⁣ Thank you Kat @kat_borchart for all your beautiful photographs (📸🔝) and putting together a magical team🔮: Alison Lewis @Alison.lewis on styling, Alexa Hernandez @alexahernandez.xyz on hair & makeup, photo assistance by Semir Hajdarevic @justbummed , Ross Morrison @morrisonphoto on digi-teching and to @jinx_studios for all things post.⁣ ⁣ And thank you to the models, you all made it so easy: Aiki Smith @canicopythis , Devin Mingo @crimsonxkai , Miracle Sherri @mylifeasmiracle and Gabrielle M @gabriellemontezdeorca .
