Last night was the art show & reception that I have only been talking about for the last several weeks. In a nutshell, everything was perfect! Many of my friends came out to show love & support, I met some great new people & I was able to talk about my art and share my […]

Way back in the day, my mom wore turbans all the time. I thought she looked like some kinda of genie or something. In the 90s Andre 3000 wore a turban & it was just strange. Most recently, fashion maven, June Ambrose put the turban back on the map in a big way by freaking […]

My good friend Jasim DeForrest of Word Play Tee’s recently contacted me about a project that she is working on for her mother, Helen. The project being Helen’s huge upcoming retirement party. After 41 years with the Social Security Administration, Helen is calling it quits. When I read 41 years, I just said WOW. Thinking about […]

I caught up with celebrity stylist & soon to be reality star (VH1), June Ambrose Monday at Lincoln Center rocking some funky “shoegasmic” ice skate inspired heels. Filming is going on now & more details are forthcoming on her show. Stay tuned to my friends The NYLA Report who recently interviewed June… While June & I kicked […]

Last weekend, I took a road trip clear across the state to photograph Jeff & Ximena’s beach wedding. Jeff contacted me because Ximena’s sister, Linda was a wedding client of mine a few years ago and she suggested me for this occasion.  Now, I am considered to be the family photographer and friend. I love […]

Last Sunday, I attended the honeyBOOM launch party, which was held midtown Detroit at the Alley Deck. Initially, I was going to enjoy myself, kick with my girl Ris Tena (owner of honeyBOOM), have a few cocktails and enjoy the fashion show. When I got to the event, I was in such a great mood […]

For reasons that I’d rather not mention here, Chicago was a city that I did not enjoy. I mean, all of my previous trips were the stuff of nightmares. Ones where you wake up because you thought you jumped off a tall building and was free falling or something. When I booked this most recent […]

Between my trips to LV & DC, I was away for 10 glorious days!  Vegas had me beat down but DC lifted me back up leaving me feeling right & reenergized! I took my camera on both trips of course but I just was not motivated to use it. Let alone carry it with all […]

For the longest, my friend Loti has been telling me about her beloved medium format camera that she refers to as Big Mamma; a vintage Mamiya RZ67 with a 110mm f/2.8 lens.. She brags on how sexy & sweet Big Mamma is all the damn time. This past Friday, I got to experience Big Mamma for […]

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to photograph social commentator, blogge & friend, Amber Cabral downtown Detroit. Amber and I met many years ago here. At that time she lived in Detroit but it was like a year or two before we actually met in real life although we lived in the same general area. […]
