Obsessed

I have a major obsession with sunglasses. Not sure what it is, I just love 'em. Since I didn't buy new ones last year, which is a travesty, I wanted to treat myself to some before I left for vacation. I checked out Oakleys, but they look dumb on my fat head. Same with Smith.

Then I went to see Ben at his shop, where I found some sweet new Tifosi shades. They look bad ass and they seems to be good quality. Plus, they're reasonably priced as far as performace shades go, so I bought two pairs!

And here's me wearing them.

Here's my new Tifosi Ventoux. They're more for casual wear.

The Tifosi's come with a sweet case, too.

I figured I should also present to you, dear readers, some of the many other pairs of sunglasses I have.

These are my polarized glasses that I use for bowfishing

These were the first "real" sunglasses I ever bought, about 6 years ago. The yellow lenses are the only ones that are still usable.

I have a few pairs of aviators. I always think I like them, but I usually only wear them once or twice. They're pretty douchey.

These are the knock-off Oakleys I bought in Mexico for $4. I've never actually worn them.

My first pair of Smith Frontlines

I bought 4 pairs of these Smith Frontlines when I found out they were being discountinued. I have issues with the nosepeices falling apart. I'm really not diggin' any of the new Smiths. It's a shame, because they used to be my go-to company.

If you made it this far, I'm rewarding you with a photo of me wearing the glasses I was supposed to wear in high school. I think I wore them once.

Through this whole experience, I learned something: it's really difficult to take photos of sunglasses. Like, REALLY difficult. I should have just lifted stock images from manufacturers sites, but that would lack authenticity, eh?
