i’m pretty sure this blog is degenerating into just a big collection of photos of my kid. sorry.

Lil' Man gettin big!
Ok, the blog that used to be called “Quality Peoples” is now known as “Hammock Dreams” and located right here. I flipped the switch on the new QP blog a few days ago and just flipped the switch on this, just now. It still needs a lot of name-switching and general maintenance. and maybe a few urls forwarded from the old site. This is just a quick note, to say we’re live.
Thank you for sticking with us, through this transition…

da neue schit
Ok, I’ve been awfully quiet for awhile now. No doubt working on things. Fun things. and so I thought I’d let y’all know that some new, fun things are going to be happening on this blog and over at my new digs: Hammock Dreams. The new digs will be the same great, classy stuff you’ve been reading here on Quality Peoples, except with a new name and url. Hopefully, going forward into the future it will have a big huge, un-edited dose of personal, family stuff (the kind of thing I tried not to post too much of here, over the past year). And Quality Peoples will become even more about wave obsessions, style, design, fashion, photography, etc… With a departure from the current format and a few more really interesting additions. I’d love to tell you all more, but there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff to be done, to get everything ready and well, the suspense is just so, um, suspenseful. I just wanted to drop a heads-up.
So make sure to bookmark both Hammock Dreams and Quality Peoples.

Drift buddy/editor Joe Conway has scored the first interview with Taylor Steele, discussing his new film CASTLES IN THE SKY, the next film in his Sipping Jetstream series.

Mr. Ryan Tatar did a nice little write-up for his Autarkic series on Korduroy.tv of some shaping bay photos I took awhile back with my good buddy Marco.
Thanks goes out to Ryan, Cyrus and the K.tv Krew.

Scott Massey and crew have pushed out RRR Project’s second issue today, Earth Day, available now as a pdf and mid-summer as a full printed zine. RRR is a collaborative art zine whose general theme is “Recollect, Reclaim, Recover”.
A few of my photos made it into RRR.002. I’m stoked! Images below:
