Good Day Peepz,
Another day in the world of RUNFFM and crew.

First we had to meet up with our screenprinter so we were able to clear up some details and we are already working on some new stuff.

Afterwards we were on the way to meet up with Rodney who is currently visiting from New York make sure to check out Juntos Worldwide its his online project about backpacking / travelling.

Explaining some of our future projects, discussing things etc.

I thought that was a really dope car, I am by no means a car enthusiast but I appreciate good design and since you dont see a classic Mercedes like that very often anymore I had to snap a picture of it.

Next stop, the guys from the freeline skate community in Frankfurt aka Team FFM make sure to look out for them I think they are the very first freeline skater team from Frankfurt.
Rodney also took some amazing interviews with them I will post the videos online once they are availible which may take a bit until Rodney finished editing them back in NY.

Even national TV station RTL got interested in freeline skating and they were having interviews with everyone involved, they asked us to give an interview since they wanted an outsiders opinion.

Andi performing, this doesnt look too easy.

Shoutouts to TEAM FFM they did some amazing stuff on those freeline skates I am still amazed, they might have started a new trend this summer!
Check out their facebook page for more info on where they usually meet up.

What do you think?

Of course no day is complete with some….

BUBBLE TEA!!

Served by these lovely ladies =)

Thats it for today check me out on twitter @chrishimself84 also follow @theballatician and @JuntosWorldWide
I dont know if Team FFM has a website but if some of you guys are looking please drop me a comment or a message I will be sure to add your information! (edit: they got facebook)

Big shoutout to Flo aka Bunnypop who is our graphic design chief guy ;) He makes some cool artwork go check out his website.

Bubble Tea and Curryworscht

chrishimself — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 23:39:27 +0000

Hey everyone today I went out to meet up with Rodney from New York City who is currently on a trip around Europe and came to Frankfurt am Main to visit.

We randomly met in Tokyo last year at the hostel and we checked out the big Gundam in Tokyo together.

We decided to hit up a few places in the city and I wanted to show him around a little bit and take some videos and pictures for his travel site called “Juntos Worldwide” , you should go and check it out it is a really cool website with interesting content especially if you are into backpacking.

We met up at this hostel in Frankfurt called the Five Elements Hostel (Moselstr. 40) its really close to the Mainstation (Frankfurt Hauptbhf) and easy to find aswell, first impression was decent and Rodney told me that the rooms look very clean and nice aswell. Maybe something to recommend if you are staying in Frankfurt!? Here are some pictures I took while I was waiting downstairs.

Today also another really cool shop just opened around the corner on Münchenerstraße 40, its called Cha-kka.
If you have been to any parts in Asia you might be familiar with this, they sell a drink called “Bubble Tea” , you might ask yourself whats that!?, well you should just go there and try it!! trust me its goooood! Its basically black milk tea or fresh green tea mixed with different flavours and you can choose from different Tapioka pearls as a topping which is some kind of “jelly-ish” stuff.

Also a big shoutout goes out to the owner of the shop for letting us get the free drink, we just didnt notice that they were giving out free cups to everyone in line!!
Really cool of them and I’ll definitely drop by everytime I am in the area to get me some Bubble Tea now, count on that I’m already addicted haha.

The place was packed too! People love Bubble Tea!

They are also sponsoring this next big party organized by Dynasty-Events which is going to be on a cruise ship on the Main river in Frankfurt. Find out more about that right here ->click<-.

Alright after getting our sugar levels up we had to go and grab some gooood Currywurst and by gooood I mean really hot hot spicy Currywurst at no other place than “Best Worscht in Town”.

Rodney did an interview with one of the guys working there for his website make sure to also follow him on his twitter account @JuntosWorldWide.
The video will be uploaded to his website as soon as he got the editing done so the best thing you can do is bookmark his website and check for twitter updates.

Look at the table, this is how it looks like if you are a real gadget-head HD camcorder, DSLR camera, smartphone and a really cool Lomography Diana F camera.
Always prepared to give you some really cool coverage from all over the world.

This kinda reminded me of Castlevania lol yeah I know (…).

Heres another really cool gadget that Rodney was carrying around at all times, its some kind of GPS-Tracker that helps you geotag your photos so you could have google maps etc. showing you the exact
position of where you have taken a picture and helps people to find pictures that were taken in Frankfurt for example. Pretty cool feature, have you tried this too!? I know some cameras have that feature build right in.

Well nothing is complete without a real Ebbelwoi, before we called it a day we hit up this place after walking around for about 5 hours.

Hope you guys still enjoy reading our blog I thought I’ll just drop in some of those photowalk posts from time to time, hit me up on twitter too.

Oh and before I forget big thanks to Rodney for this really awesome T-Shirt!!! Wu-Tang forever!

@chrishimself84

peace!

Photowalk 13.07.2010

chrishimself — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 22:22:53 +0000

Got me a new Ricoh GR Digital II recently and since I need to figure this camera out now I took it on a photowalk. I know that there is a GR Digital III out already but I didnt want to spend too much anyway and the GRD II is perfect for a on the go snappy camera, who wants to lug around the big DSLR all the time anyway?

Alright here are some pics, shoutout to Stefan who came along shooting with his Canon G11 that he bought in Tokyo when we were hanging out in Akihabara.

I was shooting mostly in black and white since I heard that this camera has cool b/w settings so I tried to play around with it a little but here is a color shot, one of the few so far.

This is a really cool bakery in Frankfurt, its a japanese bakery called Iimori and it has all the tasty things like Melonpan or Anpan yum yum yum. Very very ooiiiishii lol ah my good old baka gaijin nihongo.

There is also a Kaiten Sushi called Kamon (the ones that run on a conveyor belt) right next to it, actually it all belongs together so either you are up for a nice coffee and a snack or some good sake and sushi.

Go check out the Iimori website.

Alright please go ahead add me up a on flickr and twitter too and hammer that like button and facebook stuff =D.

ciao

Black and White edition

chrishimself — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 11:19:43 +0000

I’ve been taking pictures with my Rollei SUC’s (Single Use Camera) again over the last few weeks.
The camera uses black and white agfa film, the first time I picked this camera up was in Tokyo this April where I bought it just for fun at Yodobashi for about 1500yen and since then I really enjoy taking pictures with it. I was lucky to find another eBay auction where someone was selling a few of those that were leftover from a wedding, for a really good price compared to what they cost in Tokyo!.

Enjoy the pictures.

You can find more of my photography on my flickr page http://www.flickr.com/chrishimself

Tokyo Random Videodump

chrishimself — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 15:23:52 +0000

Heres a bunch of random clips from Tokyo that were leftover on my “old” camera before I sold it, I thought I would share some of those random clips with you, be warned these are really random.
I was shooting a mini vlogumentary (I made up that word docu x vlog) during my stay last August but due to technical issues I was not able to complete it yet (though some sequences are online on my youtube), since I upgraded to a new DSLR with video I decided to continue the “vlogumentary” with the new camera the next time I am in Tokyo.

Cool photos and random encounters

chrishimself — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 12:37:26 +0000

Stumbled upon this photo of Levi Maestro from the popular web series called MaestroKnows (which I always enjoy watching) via his twitter.
I like this photo and I remember that street in Tokyo.
I remembered it so well that I thought “hey wait I think I have been exactly at that spot”.
This picture was taken by a photographer called Zack McTee on Flickr make sure to check his photos out!

Though the focus of that picture lies on a totally different path, many people might follow the same, some leave bigger traces some leave smaller ones.

Ohayo Japan! Pt.2

chrishimself — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 18:05:43 +0000

Time for a new blogpost from Japan this time I thought I would show you some of the areas around the hostel first.

Heres the mainstreet towards the hostel.

Heres another shot of the river thats going through the neighborhood, I think its the Kanda River but I’m not 100% sure.

Well next it was off to Shibuya.

One is a little different, a little cooler, then the other.

Sega is still alive and kickin in Tokyo though I heard alot of Sega Arcades closed down.

Well I’ll be keeping it “stabil” in Tokyo like this guy, peace out gotta go to sleep now.

Contest for our 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY.

One Year

chrishimself — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 12:40:14 +0000

Today marks the day we first posted something on this domain RUNFFM.COM
That was one year ago, when we started this blog we just thought that it would be a nice idea to have something like a scrapbook online where we just file everything that we find in some way interesting, cool or inspirational.
For us that is sneakers, gaming, design, art, music, toys, movies, travelling, photography, videos, filmmaking, sports and alot more too much to mention.

Its basically our brains splattert accross this blog haha.
We will keep that spirit up and also do our best to step it up a notch for 2010 !

Also we made posts about our trips to different countries like the USA, Egypt and Japan.
Make sure to check out our 2009 round up post on our travels or just browse through our archives for the liveblogging experience.

About travel blogging I will soon visit Tokyo again and I’ll make sure to put up some vlogs too in the usual fashion, this time I will try to focus more on retro gaming in Japan since I’m a big fan of old videogames and videogame systems, especially the ones that never came out in our area.

I also want to thank the people that supported our blog and to everyone who helped spreading the word on facebook! Also big thanks for everyone who posted a link to our page recently.
That is much appreciated and dont be a stranger say hi sometimes!

Special shoutout to DJ Kitsune make sure to check out his blog and his mixshows on JamFM.

Another shoutout to the Beastin crew check out their lookbook, its amazing photography!

Like DJ Kitsune already said in his post about us, its always good to have the ambition to conquer the world but you should not forget your roots.

To another great year!
Representing Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

peace
