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. […]

I asked for his glasses & he said no. I asked for his awesome skunk hat & he said no. Finally, I asked if I could take his photo & he said yes. Months before I went to NYC in Feb, I was having drinks midtown with friends; Mary, Luigi & Lisa. During the chat, […]

Yesterday, I had a pretty crazy day, which included a long ass meeting, Bravo Bravo & a conversation that flipped me out. The conversation was on Jill Scott being in town for an event with a local radio station.  My heart stopped, I couldn’t ‘breeve’ right and all of that stuff. You see, Jill Scott […]

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. […]

Beauty + Fashion + Film camera = How to look damn good When I asked to take their photo, they said sure. When they saw my Mamiya film camera, they got excited. It was all around excitement. Kind of nerdy but so very cool. Check here to view more of my NYC Analog Street Portrait series.

Like the nerd that I am, I hung out at the Michigan Orchid Society Show to see some new beauties and hopefully pick up one or two. The exhibits were huge and very diverse, much larger than the Ann Arbor Orchid Festival. What I found not so great about the Michigan Orchid Society Show was […]

Whenever I’ve seen Robert Verdi out & about, he is either posse’d up deep, rolling with a friend or two, on the scene with a camera crew or a combination of all three. No matter what, the one thing that remains consistent is a set of shades perched atop of his dome. He’s always friendly […]

Over the weekend, I hung out at the Ann Arbor Orchid Festival to totally submerge myself into my new orchid obsession. This event was on my calendar for months & I was totally ready to be wowed & boy was I. I’m not sure how many people attended, but that place remained packed during the […]
