Payopay Family Photos by Kyle Johnson
So my good homie Kyle Johnson took some pictures of my family and I a while ago. Here they are. Some of them are done with a Hasselbad 500c large format film camera and some are done with a Nikon DSLR. Oh and by the way. We just found out a couple of days ago my wife is pregnant! So he’s going to have to do these photos over in the future. Checkout more of his work at http://www.kj1022.blogspot.com

Wifey and son.
Sunday we had a non traditional family photo shoot with my old homie Kyle Johnson. Afterwards we tried to checkout the boutiques but they were closed so we just walked around and I took some photos of my own.

Weekend Photos…
Had an uneventful weekend. So I just relaxed with my family.
Stitch got his sutures and drain tubes removed from his operation. He'll heal up fine, but tests showed there were some mast cells leftover in his margins when his tumor was removed. We're going to do our best to keep it from flaring up again.
Payopay's just love to jump!
The wifey and I.
Photon action.

Stitch’s Surgery **GRAPHIC PHOTOS**
A couple of weeks ago I found a large hard lump on my dog Stitch’s back right leg. We took him into the vet right away to have him tested and found out a week later that it was a cell mast tumor. As soon as we found out we setup and appointment right away to have his tumor removed for Friday. The vet explained to me that when he had to get stitched up, my dog didn’t have enough fat or skin since he was so lean. So she had to create cuts in his skin just so she could stretch it and stitch my dog back up. There was also another small lymph node found on his lower leg. The same leg he had surgery on.
.
I’ve never seen my dog in such pain like this. The day I picked him up blood and pus was oozing out of his wounds. I had to carry him up and down the stairs because he was in so much pain. Today he’s better wagging his tail and wanting to play, but I have to keep him from moving that leg to much until it heals. I’m not worried about the pain he is in right now because he’s a tough dog and I’ll know that he’ll make it just fine. The thing I am worried about is the tumors coming back again which is a 50/50 chance. We are also awaiting the results on the lower lymph node that was found in his leg. Well for now I guess we can just hope for the better.
The tumor that was removed.
Coming out of surgery.
You can see the cuts that were made so the skin could be stretched. The tubes are to help drain the excess blood and pus.
I only make him wear the cone at night when we are sleeping. He's good at leaving his wound alone.
Stitch is a little better now.

4th of July Weekend
This was one of the worst 4th of July’s ever thanks to the Washinton’s unpredictable weather. But we still made it work.

The Coast
I finally sold all my old Nikon equipment and picked up a Canon 7D! I had to retrain my eye since I haven’t done any photography since 2006 since my camera was broke. We spent the weekend with my family including 10 other families on the coast. We had a great time. Even though it rained we still made the best of it. Bonfires, smores, music, mopeds and dancing at the beach. You’re not a true Washingtonian if you can’t figure out ways to enjoy the outdoors even with the rain…

Johnny Cupcakes x Trophy Cupcakes Seattle
So over the weekend we checked out Johnny Cupcakes hustle over at Trophy Cupcakes in Seattle. My son and I made it in the video on his blog so I guess that makes us cool? Finally got to meet JC himself and had a couple of words with him. He told me his story of how him and Ben from The Hundreds are friends and used to be on an old forum before they were big and people would make fun of there shirts all the time. Who’s laughing now?
There aren’t many brands out there that truly care about satisfaction with their customers when buying their products. Most popular brands are usually the “buy this $40 t-shirt and watch it shrink and fade after a cold wash and hang dry” type of brand. Not many care about the purchasing experience or quality of product they sell to their customers. I got introduced to JC clothing way awhile back from one of my favorite local artists Peekaboo who did a collabo with him. (click here) One thing that stood out was the packaging, labels, everything that was included in my order was designed to perfection and I hardly wanted to throw away anything. How often do you get that experience? The Hundreds also carries the same morals by giving away free stuff when you buy their products and also are down to earth and interact with their customers. And if you’ve ever been to any of their stores, you’ll see they really do go all out to stick out from the rest.
Even though I’m hardly into buying graphic tees anymore, I still hopefully plan on starting my own brand someday. And for all you others that plan on starting a clothing brand or other type of business, please research, come up with a UNIQUE concept and don’t focus on just making big profits by using a cheap shitty products.
