What’s going on CapTrackers? Wow… It’s been over two months and no posts??? Yep! Sad to say I haven’t posted anything in a while, and for that I am truly sorry. There’s been a lot going on in my life and I’ve been quite busy as of late.

Even though CapTracker has been a fun ride, I’ve been moving on to bigger, better things. Being in the “cap blogging” game has taught me so much about this industry and I’ve learned about a lot of brands and their styles. There are MANY creative companies out there, both underground and famous, just waiting to put their next masterpiece into your wardrobe.

Learning all about these companies made me think. Creativity shouldn’t be bottled up. It should be expressed! And what better way to express one’s creativity than to put it on apparel? So, CapTrackers, that’s what I’ve been doing so far. I’ve been planning to try my hand at the clothing industry. Researching. Planning. Execution. That’s what the past two months have consisted of for me. Hopefully soon, you’ll see my designs out there. It’s gonna be a while, but it’ll come eventually.

I don’t want to say that CapTracker.com is officially DEAD. In fact, far from it. Let’s just say that it’s on hiatus until everything I gotta do is done. You wont see any posts from me in a while, but I’m sure you might find something from the companies that have helped me out through this entire endeavor. Support those that have supported me all this time. You can find them all located in the “Affiliates/Supporters” section on the right.

So I guess this is goodbye for now guys… Till next time… keep an eye out.

The Ladies of CapTracker: Momo

Lex — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 11:40:40 +0000

Working with Ms. Momo was amazing. When you work with an up-and-coming model as talented and devoted as her, it makes my job as a photographer a LOT easier. Thanks to Momo, this shoot was a piece of cake. She made every shot money, and I can’t thank her enough.

Momo has a thing for cute designs, so for this shoot I chose Kidrobot as the cap she would wear. Turned out to be a perfect choice. This New Era 59Fifty is OoP, so ebay would be your best bet if you’d like to cop.

Stay tuned for more Xel Concepts shoots. Until then, keep an eye out…
