In a previous post, I bitched about botching a roll of film back in September when I was in NYC for fashion week. One of my biggest heartaches from that jacked roll was the shots that I got of Kelly Rowland as she made her way out of Lincoln Center. The other day, I decided […]
On a late summer night in NYC, I had one of the most horrific nights of my life! I was tired, hungry but I was looking pretty damn good as I made my way across the city. Yeah, I was looking good but something went totally wrong with my pimp boots. My feet were not […]
I met Kimora Lee Simons back in Sept at Mercedes Benz Fashion week backstage after the Zac Posen Z-Spoke show. Before she walked in my direction, she did a mini slinky inky catwalk & the crowd was all abuzz. It was fun to watch. She was bad ass & tall as hell! So once she […]

I mentioned in my Nicholas K post that I was having all kinds of issues in regards to my camera because I had to hold the camera freehand. All 10lbs worth. I was not happy with my Nicholas K photos but many were salvageable & not really all that bad. With the Rebecca Taylor show, […]
I don’t know how it happened but Asia tricked me into photographing the Diane von Furstenberg show. She not only got me to do the show but she did it with a smile that made it seem like it she was my daughter looking at me with those eyes like daughters do. It was all […]
