My friend John was one of the original inspirations for my Test Shots series. Everytime he comes to New York for a show he has the most unique style. Last Winter he came over my apartment and I was thinking, "man I wish I could film you so others could see what you're wearing." But I wanted to contribute in my own way. Instead of just a snapshot on my iPhone I wanted to create something special to share with all of you. Something that not only captured the outfit but the emotion and energy of the people that inspire me...
So much has changed and evolved since then... But John still has such cool and free style. I think we were walking back from Le Bain as the sun was about to come up... "John, we should shoot your Test Shot this weekend. It's gonna be like 100 degrees. Its been almost a year since we shot "Every Summer." Absolutely. Let's do it. For your daily inspiration, frontman of U.S. Royalty and my good friend, the truly free spirit John Thornley...
Really interesting style. Love the lighting on this one.

so I'm repelling down Mount Vesuvius when suddenly I slip, and I start to fall. Just falling, ahh ahh, I'll never forget the terror.
When suddenly I realize "Holy s**t, Hansel, haven't you been smoking Peyote for six straight days, and couldn't some of this maybe be in your head?

These 'test shots' weren't even your idea.
Lame. Stealing from your friends.

Love these Test Shots, Jake. Especially this one. So interesting and different.

I used to read your blog but now every time I see "test shots" in my google reader I just ignore.
your blog is a bore.

So much hate.
This one is great. "Playing house" isn't very accurate - he's a rock star and he dresses like one.

Like a certain medieval hot period that has been "smoothed" out of existence just because it was inconvenient. But then again, that must not be a "surprise" to you and all those "respected scientists" you talk of. Because to you it is clearly all about respect really and how you get to that position where you have it so you can throw it around like it adds up to something, everything else is just a background.

One way to deal with that kind of bad-faith opposition is to draw the person in, treat them as if they were operating in good faith, and draw them into a conversation about how they actually would solve the problem.

Anyone who feels that social networking strategies are "absolutely critical" to (the vast majority of) startups loses a great deal of credibility in my eyes. This belief demonstrates a clean break from reality, and should be approached with considerable caution.
