A Sully Wong story...
I met George Sully for the first time a couple of years ago at a small trade show inside the Gladstone Hotel. I remember hearing the excitement in his voice when he shared his vision for the future of Sully Wong. I recall thinking to myself, "that's the kind of person I want to work with– someone passionate, honest and determined. Finally, two weeks ago that meeting came full circle. I saw Sully downtown on a side-street sitting on his all-black motorcycle. “Taha!,” he yelled. We chopped it up for a few. "I've got some new things in the works, let's build!” And, I was ready to shoot! Here is my Sully Wong visual story. It's based on the release of three of their classic SW backpacks: The A.B.E., The Kyojin and the Nomad II. I was inspired by the durability of each back, the leather finish and the element of ruggedness to withstand life in the city.
Peace to my friend and model @AstonSauce for bringing my images to life. #streetsoul
