Carbon Dater
for Carbon Dating
~
An architect, photographer and a graf writer walk into a bar…
My three guised men, ill advised once again.
Oh by night, Oh by night… from the acts of construction, observation and destruction this product of defacement did form.
Carbon Dater is a black diamond-tipped carbon pen for writing and illustrating directly into glass… for carbon dating
Specifically – A .30 carat black diamond set in milled brass claw, fixed to a hand tooled lazer engraved inanimate carbon rod, presented in an inked 304piece hinged cardboard box.

We used the famous Electric Lady Studio which was the NYC home of Jimmy Hendrix.
Erika is one cool lady, allowing us to explore various set ups for half the night. She also personally shoots with a Leica M8…
which if you have not had the chance to shoot with – it is a truly amazing photographic tool.
One of the early photo shoots for URB was with rapper B.O.B. – Creative Directed by David Gensler and photographed Phil Knott.
Extra thanks to Nick and friends at Boundless NYC for allowing us to use their store as a photo studio. Extra thanks to Alife and SSUR for providing the fashion.
