Episode 1 of the new Richer Poorer supported Monster Children series I'm hosting titled "Table Talk", is live now at monsterchildren.com. For the premiere episode, I was lucky enough to sit down with my best friend of over 25 years Jason Lee @akajlee to talk photography and more.  On the topic of Jason's photography, give his new film specific Insta community a follow @filmphotographic. Big thanks to J. Lee, MC and RP for helping make this series a reality.   - Chris Pastras

The Spring 2015 Richer Poorer Athletics video and lookbook continues with the authentic vibe of skateboarding and lifestyle with our Athletics Club.  I gathered RP fam member Christian Maalouf, along with friends Daniel Shimizu and Justin Strubing to skate the streets of LA and Chinatown.This is pretty much my regular skate crew, and I always have a blast skating with these guys. Documenting the day were Mark Spencer, the talented mastermind that does the majority of our Stereo skateboards edits, and old friend Seu Trinh of Transworld Skateboarding fame.  We cruised a few classic spots in our hood…ending the day with Chinatown. I’ve been wanting to shoot something in Chinatown for years. Now I know why few have done it, the security is nuts! Pulling it off on a crowded Sunday...

Filming & Editing by Mark SpencerStereo's Chris Pastras joined the sock/underwear brand Richer Poorer to help develop their Athletics/ skate line: "I want everything we do with RP to be authentic, that said, one of the first things I wanted to do was to get with the Stereo creative team, Ron Rauto and Mark Spencer, gather a group of our friends in RP socks, and show what a Sunday is like for us in Echo Park.
