It’s been a long since I first begged New Balance for an Experience Store in the US. Even though I’ve been slacking on my bloggin’ (at least here), New Balance has fulfilled that wish three times over now. After opening Experience Stores in both their home in Boston, and one in Washington DC, they’ve recently … Read more
Playing with the camera is one of my favorite things to do. I’ve been thinking about exactly what it is about it that is so intriguing to me.

I am not sure when being a fan becomes an obsession but I am pretty sure it happened at least 30 years ago for me when I began speaking with words like “Go Gi Gi’s!” Over the years, the obsession has filled my closets with orange sneakers, and my dresser drawers with orange and black … Read more
