Hard to tell from here but the selvedge is THICK. Love it.

Got my dream job teaching underprivileged teens the world of Auto Tech at the best school in the world.
Needless to say, I can't wear denim 24/7.

@Davids_denim unfortunately spent the last of the denim budget on the SEXIH25 T3. I could make it happen but the family car just cracked a flex pipe.

@Davids_denim hate to miss this one again but maybe I’ll follow in your footsteps again a couple years down the road ‍

@JunkPants in the end, it’s a bandaid ripped off all too soon. Never fully appreciate the comp during, mournful when it’s over.

Thanks for the words of encouragement and, wow, honestly blown away you remember my XHSbb run!

A trade from the Panda-Headed-Goat himself. Thanks Marc!

EDIT: Marc thinks it’s a different run. Non-OD but also from a few years ago.

@denim-dawg thank you Jorn. I think recent transitions in my life have left me fairly isolated. I’m learning each day the difference between healthy solitude and toxic isolation. My time with this shirt fell oft in the isolation context. Therefore my feelings on the situation are seen through that lens. And those aren’t rose colored in any way. So the encouragement goes a thousand miles.

@Luijim78 @Davids_denim thank you both! It’s a strange sensation. I’ll be so fired up just to be a part of it once the Comps start but almost recoil over the voting and competition.

Your words are an encouragement to an end none of us have yet seen. I know I’ll look back at this words another day when I need them more and feel a duplicative buffering of my motivation.

Congrats to all the IH (and others) winners this year!
On a side note; I feel like throwing in the towel. In four years I've never broke out of the top 50. I don't want to push my entry onto others and seem desperate but the community never seems to look my way. Are the studio pictures too sterile? Does my shirt not stand out in anyway? I live by the "just wear it" mantra for every comp and....I don't know.

I'm not a competitive person by nature so it's weird I even let it get to me but it's like this every year. I spend the year really enjoying to community and the updates, not really thinking about placing after the finish line then...boom I see my stuff just fizzle out in the community vote and my morale follows suit.

Love seeing the studio set. Always curious on the photog’s kit…

Worth every penny.
As for the Redline… always a bridesmaid, never a bride ‍

Double OD! 301OD under the SEXPOOD. Shirt has a few more days of wear than the jeans.

Annual Commencement set. This is one of five guys we graduated out of our boarding school
Home before we changed positions. I always print this set so we’re up to five sets of graduates that passed through our home since I started shooting again in ‘20.

@denim-dawg

@ah_long this is my favorite!

@Giles these are some beautiful photographs of some amazing people.

@Mister_Brue
