Last year, I said that it was my final time attending the Detroit Electronic Music Festival as you may recall. Well, I’m back to say that I lied because yesterday, I was one of the 34,820 event attendees. I’m photographing the event again this year & I have a different attitude and approach. I’m focusing […]
I’m not really sure what they call this style of dress with all the layering, patters mixed with new and vintage pieces but I like it. And while I like the style, I don’t think that I can get away with it. For me, the fewer items worn the better, especially when it’s warm out. […]
I read about Hype Saturday night while laying in bed suffering from serious whole body muscle aches because I went too hard in a kayaking class that I participated in over the weekend. While I read up on the new Mac only app, I got HYPE myself. I have been waiting for a tool that […]
So I got ahold of a 2nd generation iPad last week after waiting nearly a month for it to be delivered. Not sure if I mentioned it here, but I was not feeling the idea of buying an iPad since it was 1st introduced in spring of 2010 because it seemed like a big ass […]

A few years ago, I stumbled upon the street fashion blog “Swagger 360” ran by street portrait photographer Karl Edwin Guerre. I think it was around New York Fashion week spring summer if I’m not mistaken because some of the 1st images were taken near Bryant Park. From that point, I was fascinated by some […]
This ceviche was prepared by me. I shopped for the fresh ingredients. I sliced that avocado to perfection. I styled the plate. I took the photograph. I ate the ceviche. I processed the photo. I posted to photo to Flickr so that I could share my recipe and image with friends and admirers. This all […]
I’m contacted often from companies who are interested in purchasing work of mine that was spotted on Flickr. I have been lucky to have to make some sales independently, some sales were done via Getty Images, and other times the potential sale fell through the cracks because the would be client wants the imagery for […]
