Bill Wall Leather x Beams New Website Launched!

  Bill Wall Leather x Beams New Website have just launched.  I had mini "coastline/PCH" Roadtrip and Bill Wall's Studio visit for this project. It was amazing. Lately, not only I, myself started feeling land/cityscape than before, but also started having more opportunity to photograph land/citiscape on assignments like this project that is very exciting at the same time, new challenge that I like to photograph.  Beams Design Team put all together in such a beautiful, very visual way on this new website with new unisex products from Bill Wall Leather.  It is so honor to be part of this project, surrounded by crew and people with passion to their creation and craft.  Please check. It'll be updated in time.  Huge Thanx to Bill Wall Leather Crew, Mr.Washio and Beams Team!
