This pic is awesome! How did you do this?

I just took three pictures and laid them over each other in Photoshop - nothing fancy. Usually I would use Photo Merge to blend them seamlessly but I wanted to maintain the look of individual pictures making a larger image.

[eldave04]

ordo, if you create another account, I would be happy to rep. says I must spread more around

[ordo]

I am having difficulties with remembering the day so I am just going to post without it. Had so much fun on the small board I thought I would size up.

Can't even see the jeans!

FAIL!

SKATlN UP DAT ELK LEATHER

We have lots of elks around here - and one goes a long way. I don't understand why these shoes are so expensive anyway.

[ordo]

where are the fucking detail shots though ord

I will try to get to them this week. I am planning on doing a wash. I recently interviewed famed Flat Head wearer, and former Sufu rep number one, Sindy Ro. Here is a brief transcript of the conversation:

ordo: do u think i should wait until the end to wash?

sindy: no

sindy: you won't get any color and you should wear it after washing so it loosens the indigo

sindy: you wash it and ship it off indigo just stays in there

sindy: best to wash first then wear

ordo: <russellpeters>are you sure???</russellpeters>

sindy: TAP SOME BONG

I believe my mandate is clear.

EPISODE (LOST TRACK) IN WHICH THE DENIMZ GET THEIR COMEUPPANCE

Today the 3001s get washed. Those who pay close attention will have made note of the subtle foreshadowing in the previous post. I have followed the guru's advice and have in fact washed the jeans as directed.

But before we get there, a few last minute update shots. After work I had a visit with my friendly neighborhood chiropractor. Being early, as I am wont to be, I decided to pull out the point-and-shoot and snap a few last minute evo pictures. Unfortunately I didn't realize that they were a bit blurry, due to the failing grey light of the rainy day, and my aversion to using flash for these sorts of shots. I have made sure not to use any of my usual photo processing tricks in an effort to give you a better idea of the actual colour. At any rate, I apologize in advance for the quality.

Ass revisited

Once inside, my chiropractor agreed to take a shot of me laying on the table (for posterity). He didn't even seem to think it was a strange request.

Went home and it was time to hit the suds.

Washed in warm water, normal cycle with a bit of detergent.

Out of the washer and time to hang dry.

I will endeavour to take better evo shots once these are ready to go.

THE END

I think it will help to wash them. I washed right when I got them & noticed that about 5-7 days after the wash, it seemed the inigo started flaking off and the wear became (a little) more noticeable.

I did use a natural soap, some peppermint castile stuff from Trader Joe's. None of that harsh chemical stuff.

[la-vvoc]

what are those being hung on? is that some sort of giant clip?

cant wait to see the results

[ordo]

Here we have a famous rolling Vancouver monument. I am not even sure what to call it, other then "that crazy volkswagen". It is often seen parked at the Starbucks at Robson and Thurlow downtown - the site of the ass shots last week. Correct me if I am wrong, Beatle, but they don't make them like this in the old country. It even comes with a working water fountain on the hood.

THE END

[epitaph220]

that's some dangerous drivin'. blind spots galore!

[Spastic_Koala]

Thanks for the detail shots. The jeans are looking pretty good. It was nice of your chiropractor to take that picture for you.

That car is nuts!

[beatle]

Dope..as always !

TODAY WE VISIT THE LONSDALE QUAY PUBLIC MARKET

After work today I stopped at the Lonsdale Quay. According to it website it is "one of Vancouver's most popular destinations. Located on the shore of North Vancouver with a fabulous view of Vancouver's skyline and harbour; this multi-level complex is home for over 90 shops & services. Lonsdale Quay Market boasts a fabulous fresh Market, beautiful boutique shops, international cuisine to eat-in or take -out, a play area for kids and specialty kid's only shops, a first class Hotel and always an exciting atmosphere." Apparently. It has a lovely fountain.

You can sit on the edge of the fountain and take pictures. It won't even bother anyone. You can post the pictures on the internets.

They have binocular thingies to see downtown. Here comes the seabus!

They have tugboats.

And mosaic-y benches.

Inside there are shops and things.

And entertainment for the kids. The way my hoodie is bagging out makes it look like I am ready to have one myself.

I had to kick a bunch of them out so I could lay down in the ballroom. Enjoy the bacteria!

Tried in vain to make a snow angel on the giant mosaic on the floor but there was no snow. It wasn't even really that dirty for that matter. Epic fail.

THE END. All questions and comments welcome.

[sidneylo]

The color is starting to come out with that wash... the denim looks great.

[Charlie Delta]

Fantastic pics as always, but MAN, you really don't know what to write anymore do you???

Hahaha

[Spastic_Koala]

Your next goal should be to take a picture from on top of one of those tug boats.

You and Winnie the Pooh make a cute pair by the way.

[twistedtrees]

Honestly, I'm surprised it took you this long to wash them, you seem to be bacteria/chemical phobic. I thought I was bad when I washed them first day. (no offense to those who had them before me)

[ordo]

Bacteria phobic?!?! I was laying in the middle of the floor in a major public market! I went in a ballroom! I fear no bacteria! I wear denims that haven't been washed in months! Bacteria fear ME!

[ordo]

Fantastic pics as always, but MAN, you really don't know what to write anymore do you???

Hahaha

????

Now how could I say it any better than that??!? It almost made me want to go there.

Plus I was tired and just wanted to go to bed.

I had had a number of people help me out. The Mrs. Ordo was one of them, but my primary photographer has been my sister. She has really gotten behind this crazy month and has been a HUGE help. She has done most of the downtown shots, with the exception of the first couple of days, which my business partner helped me with. My daughters have also done a few of the shots, and of course my chiropractor. I also have done some of them with tripod - mainly the staged Photoshopped ones were I am battling evil and the like.

sweet jesus....

I am not sure what you mean by this.
