I saw the sunrise on the top of Mount Cadillac in Bar Harbor, Maine on vacation last week.

I did a shoot of my friend Moira's kids in Star Wars gear, but she was also wearing Chucks that day, so voila. I like the light.

I love this new artists' community I've joined, called deviantART. This is my first set of favorite art pieces that focus on Converse from that site. There's tons, so expect a regular update of features from deviantART. And just click on the deviantART link and type in "Converse" into the Search Art field to see some for yourself.

Kim's Chucks, at work. She likes to rest her feet in my lap. It relaxes her.

Dark green laces, light green Chucks, with pink stitching. Outside Rudy's Bar and Grill in New Haven, CT. I believe her name is Karen (or Caren).

I wish I could remember her name, but she was at my friend Izzy's house one night when I was there. All I know is that her name and the name of another was the same. This is what happens when I don't write this stuff down.


Another Chucks sighting at Izzy's house. These are Converse One Stars, which I haven't seen since I was fifteen and my sister bought them. I think these might be my favorite style of Cons. Again, can't remember who this was!

Yes, not Chucks. But so ridiculously cute, I couldn't help but post about my new Yankees slippers that look like sneakers, shoelaces and all. Lenny bought them for me, on a lark. I would love to see a pair of Chucks sneaker slippers. Now that would rock. But I'll take my cutie fangirl slippers, too.

Sometimes I think youth today are just so different from me and how I was as a teenager. Not worse, just different. Then I see Jocelyn's Chucks (she's the stage manager for my show in February, which you can find out about here at my blog, Redboy Dream). She never wears the matching pairs together, but mixes and matches them. Not so different after all. Pretty freaking cool.

Another pair of Chucks outside of Rudy's, these with the classic "I was bored in class" doodles on the white rubber trim. The girl who owns these is a pretty blonde whose name I can't remember. Gee, just like a guy!

I spent Thanksgiving at my sister's house in Maryland, outside D.C. The Friday after we walked off all that food (we being me, Lenny, and my brother visiting from college in Indiana), ending up at the Washington Monument. This was a tricky shot, where I sat on the ground, lifted my foot and attempted to capture my Chuck, the monument and the pretty sunset.

In a particularly long day at work, I lost my Chucks under the desk, trading sneaker feet for socked feet. They hid there all day, doing exactly what I felt like doing: crawling under my desk.

This is Randolph and his white high-top Chucks. Randolph is a chemist with Kraft; he develops new products for them. We call him "Doctor" because he's so damn smart.

Someone at Rudy's with Chucks just like mine. I think this is a great stock photo, too, for me. All that sidewalk space, just waiting for a Photoshop edit.

Kim works with me. These are her Chucks at rest in the early autumn sun.

Going to Outer Island, the outernmost island of the Thimble Islands off Stony Creek, CT, on the Sea Mist Ferry, with the summer camp on Monday, July 17th

At the Kenny Rogers show on the Green on Saturday, July 15, which we turned into a picnic dinner, plus a few drinks, with Tammy, Tom, Fran, Kim, Mike, Charles, Stacy, Leo, Lenny and me
