Hamilton MFG’Co. Type Drawer Cabinet
One of my favorite parts of my gig is having to go out treasure hunting for various projects and photo shoots. While in the fox holes and hot boxes that are junk stores and antique shops, I’ll snap shots with the Mobilization Station. I don’t always post them to the Mobile BS Report, but it just so happened that this is one of my all time favorite photos I’ve ever taken. It’s a toss up with this one…
Forgot to check the year on this Hamilton MFG’Co. type drawer is from, but it caught my eye from three aisles away. As soon as I was toe-to-toe with this beast, I was staring straight down all the drawer handles. The in-your-face nameplate handles and how they look infinite, the weathered wood and drawer labels were all it took to capture this moment forever. And there you go.
Here’s to junkin and type.

World Cup
Here we are, 17 days away from the 2010 World Cup … and it couldn’t get here soon enough. I’m sure by now, you’ve seen this Nike commercial on the tube or online. Did you know it was an 18-month long project and involved director González Iñárritu? Neither did I, until I browsed the W+K section of the interwebs.
Make sure you’re fully ready for the World Cup with this free iPhone app by ESPN and this amazing World Cup calendar.
Element Trio: Chad Tim Tim
On Friday, Element’s Trio video launched with it’s first part from Chad Tim Tim. What was planned to be a part for the now defunct Sole video, the footage and project were briefly shelved while a new plan and project were developed. Which evolved into Trio, three video parts, from three of Element’s best, released once a week over three weeks.
From the inception, this project saw many twists. From the original intent of the video project, to the theme, name and riders involved. There were meetings, there were talks, there were changes. And in when the whole thing was a sitting duck, Ricki “The Dude” Bedenbaugh, who was never going to give up on the project came through with the intro you see here.
It was all over after that. The project was renamed and revamped. And now here we are, 2 parts away from an amazing video.
Got to tip my hat to everyone involved.

Nike: The Human Chain
Dammit Nike, you did it again. Another amazing commercial.
Thanks to Ryan for the tip.
*Update — 02.18.10
Filmer extraordinaire and all time date keeper (you would not believe how this guy can recall dates of events), Ricki “The Dude” brought to my attention something which I had completely over looked when I posted this.
A few years ago, DVS had a series of commercials that are very similar this Nike spot. The series was called Echo.
