Yesterday, I spent the evening with Cousin Dee, (my photography soul mate) going over my workflow processes for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.  Why? Because she will be assisting me this upcoming season! I am pretty damn excited about it too. I have been trying to make this happen for the past 3 seasons but something […]

I don’t watch many shows on television. Maybe like 4 or 5 shows weekly and then, I’m mostly watching via DVR. When I bumped into Marshana Dahlia Ritchie pictured above, I believe she told me that she was on “The Bachelor.”   I never watched the show so I was totally out of the loop about her […]

Is it déjà vu? “CONGRATULATIONS! We are happy to inform you that your application for Press and Industry Accreditation for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week In New York F/W 2012 has been approved.” Seems like I was just in NYC for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week & here I am on the cusp of December solidifying my plans […]

My friends at Exposure.Detroit have invited me to exhibit at the upcoming photography show at the Woodbridge Pub.  I’m really excited and nervous because the date is rapidly approaching. I really need to get my materials together. I know what I want to show but… So much to consider. I have 2 weeks to work […]

Yesterday, I photographed my biggest one day event yet, The America’s Thanksgiving Day Parade put on by the Parade Company. This year was the 85th anniversary of the parade and allegedly the best weather to date. For that, I am so thankful but it was still cold. My day started at 4am. The Distinguished Clowns […]
