quiver shot

i like to say that i judge filmmaking time in trucker hats.  so, a four year movie like One California Day was about 4 trucker hats.  I think One Beach for barefoot wine was about a 1 Trucker hat project.  here is my current hawaii-trucker quiver shot.  these don't last too long at $2.99 ea.

i know truckers were in for a while - then out - now maybe kinda in again if you are into that sort of thing.  i guess i rarely do any fashion accessories.  so wearing a hat, is my one feeble attempt at fashion flare and for some reason, the trucker just feels right.  Toes on the Nose has done a few really cool trucker hats for us with the One California Day logo.  they are doing a new "patch" version for the holidays.  their's last a lot longer than the ABC store hat.  if i didn't feel self-indulgent wearing a hat with my own film's name on it- i'd wear their's all the time.  it would probably last me for a few films.  i'm stoked that you all can enjoy : )

toes ocd trucker   & and now board shorts too.   yew!
