I found out Mayer Hawthorne’s latest single, “A Long Time” yesterday while visiting Soulbounce, where the fuss was about the video. The video is a compilation of clips from the ghetto-famed Detroit dance show, “The New Dance Show.” As a teen, I used to watch the “New Dance Show” on channel 62 all the time […]

Just got home from Vegas & had a wonderful time. The SHRM 2011 annual conference was amazing. Staying at the Aria hotel was amazing. Enjoying new & old friends was amazing…. I could go on & on. On a not so cool note, I never made it down to the Las Vegas sign like I […]

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 […]
If you ain’t heard (yes, I said ain’t), I’m presenting at volume 8 of Pecha Kucha Night Detroit on April 14th at the Arab American National Museum. Part of the process is to submit a short bio 3-4 sentences, which I find hard because a) I hate writing/describing myself and b) my life is too big […]

Over the last couple of months during various trips to NYC, I completed my NYC Analog Portraits series. For some strange reason, I was a little apprehensive about completing this during the winter months because I felt that winter wear (coats, hates, scarves, etc) would detract from a look that I was going for. As […]
Things that I find myself easily excited about are great service and great food. When you combine great service & great food together, I’m all in! One of my latest crazes of excitement is all over taco trucks! Food trucks are relatively new to the Detroit area & I’m totally pimped out by Tacos el […]
Last Friday, I covered the Half Way House event for Fusicology. The show billing included Bilal, Suai, DJ Rich Medina & DJ Minx on the billing. When I heard about the event, I was excited! I LOVE Rich, Minx & I was looking forward to seeing Suai perform (my 1st time of me seeing her). […]
The other night I bumped into blues singer Thornetta Davis in Ann Arbor. When I walked into the room, she was on stage performing but when she saw me, she gave me a quick shout out. I got all excited. You know I get excited a lot…. I fell in love with Thornetta about a good […]
