Read: Secret Forts-Epic Field Trip pt. II : Apolis Profiles, NYC

When Shea Parton emailed and asked me to lend a hand on a couple of profiles he was coming into NYC to shoot, I accepted without hesitating. If for no other reason than the Parton brothers are some of the absolute greatest guys you're bound to cross paths with.
Then factor into the equation that a)Apolis makes clothing that you want to wear all the time b)do it in a way that creates real and tangible hope and opportunities for developing economies around the world and c)did I mention they're some genuinely great guys.
Our day started early in Jersey City at the home of Citta International's Executive Director, Michael Daube. From there, into the city to shoot on the streets of Soho and NoLita. Then to where Michael takes meetings, his good friend David Byrne's studio. A roving pack of gorilla film makers(*trying to grab shots at a cafe on Mott, we were almost shut down until Shea got on the phone) and activists

Was a day well spent and with great people involved. Huge thanks to Shea for making it happen and getting me involved, and thanks to Michael for allowing us to tag along for the day. I am also sure that by now, you've seen that Apolis has re-launched a super clean, awesome new home on the world wide web. Click over and have a look. Poke around for a minute and you may run into yours truly.
