Stones Throw celebrates 15 years

What does the future hold for us?

Modern Muse

Ongoing work with my favorite person. Ashley has been inspiring me for years. I think it was her all these years ago that i noticed a change in my work flow with. Even days after hanging out with her she was an inspiration to my work. A combination of beauty and energy that kept me painting and now making images. It's refreshing to have her in front of my lens.

NOW. Get busy.

I was all over the map with Anika, LA, Brooklyn, expired film, chrome, black & white. Running low on my film supply and trying to keep up with conceptual ideas as well as continue to shoot portraits of people, artist, lovers, mothers and fathers. I have been staying way focused, i feel as if i have been humbled by my recent living situations and just battle with being poor as well as creative. i am on the move and i hope i continue to go up. i have accomplished a lot and now i am removing the blind fold to see my next giant steps.

Bed Stuy, Ready to Die.

Anika in Brooklyn.

During my visit to NY i got to shoot Anika. It was a fast shoot, she was wiped out and i was super jet lagged. Just when i feel like i need to go digital i make an image on my Hasselblad and remember the magic of composition. It is always more exiting to wait for the image and have faith in your eye, knowing what you are shooting and why you waited for that moment.
On another note Anika is amazing, i was very lucky to have been able to sit in on sound check while she preformed "Once in a life time" by the Talking Heads

The days move so slow.

My brain hurts and my heart is heavy. Ny through my eyes

The name of this song is called.

...But i gots to get the gravy.

Props to my dudes for letting me sleep in their living room and using their internet to write to yall tonight.As i always say, the saga continues or thats the way the cookie crumbles in the jungle. I am a nomad, i can not be contained. All in all i think im more like a gypsy. I dont wish to rant any further. look at some pictures. bye.

Eromomen.

It is always good to talk to someone who loses as much sleep as i do whilst up late studying their craft. This is Eromomen and i think we will be making a lot of new work together.

The world is yours.

The Roots and Nas.

Silver steak from Montclair to Union Station

Before i moved from the IE to Los Angeles, i took the bus a lot to the city to shoot and wonder. 99% of the time i would be alone. i would just walk around with a tri-pod and in these photos a Mamiya 67. i was still very armature. learning how to perfect my compositions and exposures. often forgetting to reset my light meter for ASA, little things that i now have a mental check list for my work flow. Contact sheets are one of the most sexy things about making new work.It's like Christmas every time you develop a roll. i thought i would share some with y'all.

Enjoy
