the good word

What can I update you guys on? Hmmm

I watched Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest & absolutley loved it. I'm still hopeful that one day the Tribe will release their last album on their record contract. On my search for this movie I discovered an amazing movie theater with great food & greater films. You should definitely check it out if you live in the NYC area.

Also, I've registered for classes at my local community college, and I start class on Sept 7th, which is in two weeks.

Things with my girlfriend are going amazing.

Been back on the Xbox playing Call of Duty: Black Ops AKA Crack Ops, GAMERTAG: MR M37HODS

Turned my bathroom into a darkroom, so I've been developing my own film and saving a lot of dough. The bread I'm saving is going to translate to a negative scanner. If you have any suggestions on which one I should get, shoot me an email.

I also figured out a problem that was happening with my external hard drive, so now I have access to all my photos. It's very relieving because I thought I had lost them all.

 

I'm a little behind with next months issue of FAMELESSZINE but I'm going to work hard and bury myself in it this week and hopefully it will not effect you guys in terms of release date. I got some wonderful artists being featured in the mag, so look forward to it.

The DL, weekend of the 22nd

I haven't posted in a little so I'm writing this to update things a little, on a personal level. This weekend I went to a Heineken sponsored event & it was actually pretty fantastic. I saw a performance from a Hip Hop artists, who I think is Portugese, her name was Zuzuka. She got a chick to go up on stage and dance with her, the chick actually ended up taking her pants off and dancing in her bikini bottom. There were also performances by Los Rakas, a Peruvian duo via California which was the reason behind me going. I ended up liking Zuzuka's performance better. The event was ended early, about 11:30, so I was looking for something else to do. No one I was with was up for it though, so I just shot some street photos on my way home.

My younger brother, Jason's, birthday was Saturday (yesterday) and he wanted to celebrate by have a couple friends over. Thats basically what I was doing, between setting up, BBQing and entertaining people I was occupied all day. Earlier in the day I filled up some water balloon and attacked everyone with them, very fun. Among all the people that came to the BBQ, I met a guy that does Cancer research in NYC. Had a very intellegent conversation about stem cells and Cancer related things with him, pretty great. I also met a promoter, which opened up some job opportunities for me shooting events, also great.

Today, I'm hanging out with family near the Delaware Water Gap, & today is only about half way through. So that's where I leave you guys where we're at. Don't say I never gave you nothing. Photos & more updates on projects soon.

Why Do I Stay Up Late?

My creativity strikes at night. What can I say? They are some random drawings I drew tonight from 1ish until now (3AM). I might be a night owl.

Cleaned my Desk

Some needed cleaning went down today. I threw away old, unecessary papers & I put some shelves up also. Now to you guys, this might still look like a mess, this shit is super organized to me. I wish I would've taken a before picture to show you. I also framed my Baron Wolman photo I got a while back, so all in all, my little office corner thingy got better.

Select Start Vintage

Select Start is a Etsy store I opened up a little bit ago. When I stop at flea markets & thrift shops & find cool shit, I put them up on the store. Sharing the love, you know? I have a bunch of clothes I need modeled to, so if you're into modeling clothes you should shoot me a email.

What started off as a store, turned into a fashion blog of sorts, then that turned into a twitter.

You can peep the store at http://selectstart.etsy.com -- I just put some new stuff on there today, and it would be cool of you to favorite the store on Etsy. The Twitter -- @selectstrtgetup & the blog -- http://selectstartvintage.tumblr.com/

Right now, the activity is light, but it'll start getting heavier as time goes on. I hope it turns out great.
