Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013 - 2015 - Official Thread

[The_Old_Penfold]

penfold. what medium format do you use? i use a small format canon av-1. ektar is a really good film. though i still prefer the old agfa films which are hard to find.

 

mega. i have this very urge to do both challenge 1 and 2. though of course not concurrently. hahaha.

I have way too many cameras, for medium format I have two Zero Image pinhole cameras, a Chinese 6x18 pinhole camera and a Bronica SQ-Ai kit (which I will probably sell). I generally shoot colour film, either Kodak Ektar or Portra, or Fuji Reala (which is being discontinued). There are some modern Agfa films, although most seem to be made by other companies.

Loving this challenge package! Running a 10k obstacle course/beer drinking event next weekend. Will definitely get some pictures and be at least 10 beers deep during the whole thing.

Well unless I want some incriminating evidence that I as a minor consumed alcohol it is time to hit the sketchbook

Looks like it is time to get pumped for New York based on the polls.

 

Finally I wanted to post a comparison of my bracelets one is brand new and the other I have had since the start of the competition  As you can see there is a lot of demon blood on this one

Dude, you negged him 

 

Oh crap. Must have missed click on my phone. Sorry Cander!

[saintkeat]

Sorry I missed the 2nd competition guys.

 

Couldn't get a decent pic of me doing anything sporty. Anyways past 2 weeks have been work hell for me with more to come. Today marks the first day in 2 weeks I could actually wear any denim!

 

This 3rd competition looks like it'll be easy enough to get some pics

[midvalleyfarm]

Jesus, what a summer...

 

Finally happened upon another decent camera, so here are some pics for the gang!

 

MBBs and HWDC Whites starting to meld nicely.

Well, this seems to be the best I can do with the outdoor challenge...  It's a view through the park that I regularly commute through on my bike.  You can see the Washington Monument on the left side across the water, and the Jefferson Memorial on the right.

[mree]

 

Didn't really get any pics of the outdoors/sports so celeb shot is what I come closest too. Guy in the blazer is a local trance DJ, DJ Asym. I'm not really a trance guy (or a clubbing one for that matter) so I can't really comment on his music. I think he's pretty good though for him to land gigs both locally and abroad so do check him out here. 

 

And here's a shot of the denim since you can't see from the previous photo, not that the lightning inside makes it any better haha.

[Megatron1505]

It is, every drink I had last night sucked apart from the rum......but it was quantity over quality and it got the job done

Haha, damn, you wasted no time to jump into contest 3.

[cander49]

Oh crap. Must have missed click on my phone. Sorry Cander!

Hah, it's all good.  I guess you just hated the idea of running for a few hours in super heavy denim.

[mree]

Yeap, my first time there. Second photo in the mixing lounge. Not really a clubbing/drinking guy haha

Pink arcs look nice, should give those a wash and see how they open up!

[Max Power]

^actually they're red/white arcs, if I recall correctly.

 

And I have a strange feeling, that competition 1 was built around the weekend plans of one certain guy.

[Broark]

Yeah you're right Max, red/white is correct.

Edited August 5, 2013 by Broark

[Chubacca]

Thanks guys, I'm waiting a little while longer to wash.  I'd like to get high contrast fades for these guys because I've really never been able to get good ones, we'll see!

[Max Power]

Sorry, didn't want to sound like a jerk. I just think that this is a great design:

[dingo]

I just think that this is a great design:

 

 

I do like the idea, but it does look pink from a distance, and I don´t want a pair of jeans with pink arcs. Kept me from buying a pair for this contest… Otherwise: the design is great indeed.

i see what you did there. 

[FLDenim211]

You can always remove the arcs
I think it is interesting, but I am not too shy when it come to things: I owned the Karmaloop X Naked&Famous collab with the cheetah print cuffs.

[Somar]

Yo Megatron,

 

The previous competition you said a lot of competitors dropped out of the race. I was wondering if people already dropped out of this competition (by just quitting, not doing the challenges, etc.).

 

I got a feeling that most competitors are in this till the end.
