..I tagged along as he did some shooting the other day. Photographers tend to get so little camera-time, so I decided to just get a quick snap of the homie @SpeechieForPrez; snappin’ haha.
..yes’m I know, it says “dreamsets” ..but it isn’t a full set, yet!
He’s agreed to do a shoot with me so; look forward to the future!

I was out shooting the other day, and I felt up to it to do a little experimenting. What I was rockin’ was fairly simple, so I felt it necessary to change the vibe of the photo up a bit by using somewhat of a ‘not-your-everyday’ stance.
To my surprise , that one little thing drew more attention to the photo than I’d anticipated ..that’s dope. Now if I were Asian, this [pose] would most likely just be written off and subconsciously understood as: “Oh, he just on some Asian shit.” But since I’m not (clearly, lol) ..it makes a lot of people think: “Wait, did he just do that? ..Is he allowed to do that?” I love it. This is Art; Not Math! That’s the beauty of it, there are no limitations or parameters as to what can and can not be done. Now, It’s perfectly normal for all of us to draw the line somewhere as far as what we ourselves can comfortably do, but I feel that more people (especially those who claim themselves as ‘artists’) need a bit of a lesson in creative thinking. Art is creation ..creation, obviously requires some sort of creativity. How do you expect to be a ill creator if you define what you’re allowed to do by what has already been done? ..I’m not trying to be on some Socrates shit, I’m just sayin’ ..if more people thought outside of the lines a bit more often, then maybe we would stop hearing/seeing so much of the same-lame-shit.
Peep the Look Here!]]>

So I got my 21 Maroons last weekend, they’re a company based out of New York/San Francisco ..I’ve been a fan of their African Inspired designs since the day I came across their website, dope stuff.
I probably sent them 2 or 3 messages asking when the ponchos would be released, or if there was any way that I could get one haha. Well, they were finally released and needless to say..ya boy was ready!
I was finally able to coordinate schedules with the homie Alvyn Maranan. Nothin’ too special, we did this shoot in my living room.. I think it turned out rather well.
