My Custom Glasses

a lot of people talk to me about my glasses so let's talk about my glasses a few months ago I flew out west to shoot a car commercial at the Bonneville Salt Flats now it was a two-day shoot and the weather was not in our favor so day one and it's raining out [ __ ] now we definitely should not have been shooting on the salt in the rain the super toxic salt water gotten everything wrecked a bunch of our camera gear and pretty much everything else it touched for some dumb reason I kept the window open during most of the shooting so I too was covered in this viscous liquid eventually the rain stopped and when that happened everything turned white including me and my glasses we finished the shoot blue back to New York I was looking through the footage and I found this picture of myself with the salt bordering my lenses and I thought [ __ ] that looks awesome salt washes off I needed to make it permanent started with these folding black sunglasses step 1 an important step removing the label from the lens on pair of sunglasses Jake didn't have a label elwood didn't have a label no ma'am we're musicians mine can't have a label you for the white to look right I had to use primer not flat and not gloss in primer the first rule of spray painting is short even sprays but I didn't want even I wanted the paint to soak into the border of the lens popsicle stick wood is softer than both the plastic frames and glass lenses it shouldn't scratch shouldn't sometimes you have to wreck things to make them your own call it creative destruction you
