9TH YEAR
Jan 28 was 9. It so hard to believe that I’ve been a residence of the city of Los Angeles for almost a decade. It goes by so fast. You’ve heard that before, but it such a trip, how fast time flies. Amazing how a city can come to help shape and add too whom we are. I mean no matter, what I’m from Atlanta, I’m true ATL. I’ll always be from the south. But I can’t...
CHECK OUT THE LATEST ISSUE OF LA RECORD →
Had the pleasure of photographing Bay-Area MC “Nocando” for the January Issue of LA Record. Very cool dude.

I’ll post some outtakes later.
Meanwhile be on the look out for his upcoming LP...

DAY 1
Barely got any sleep on that first night. I’m battling some kinda “Ebola/Bird Flu”….not really but you get what I’m saying right. Then there’s always that “Hotel-Room-Heating- Unit-Romance” of hot/cold/luke warm/cold/hot again right. I finally got some sleep then I wake up and it looks like a Robert Frost Poem outside my window, and the last thing...

The differences in being press photographer or a commercial photographer is alot like being a stand up comedian in alotta ways…..You can always go out and do the movies, and make a few bucks, pay the bills. But in the end, being on that stage alone, no crew to help, no actor(s) to play off of, that’s what separates the pack. Keeps you one your toes……

2009 is done, the decade is done. My 20’s done. Just like that, over……Man, I felt like I just got on the bus. Now where here. I feel like in the last ten years I’ve learned and felt so much and now here I am just now finding time to still back a reflect or at least acknowledge it. The last couple months have been a bit of a worldwind, but a blessing none the less....
