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 […]

I’m gonna be honest; I’m not a big fan of Frida Kahlo’s work. That may be because I’m freaked out by unibrows. Yes, I’m superficial….. Even with my aversion to unibrows, I do love this quote from Frida. It’s very inspiring! I spotted this art installation at famed chef/restaurateur Rick Bayless’ restaurant Frontera Grill during […]
Last night, I did something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time, which was to attend the Detroit edition of The Moth story hour and tell a story. When I learned that the theme was food for the most recent event, I made it my business to make sure that I attended. Once […]
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 […]

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 […]
When I saw that Jeffrey Williams was a contestant on season 2 of Bravo’s show “The Fashion Show: Ultimate Collection,” I was like I know him, but I could not place where. I really didn’t watch the show all that much because it was super cheesy & some of the designers were just so… Plus […]

What’s your addiction? Is it money? Is it masturbation? Is it weed? Is it Angry Birds? I’ve been afflicted by not one, not two, not three, but all four. Hi, my name is Tafari & I’m…. I started playing Angry Birds about a month ago and ever since, I have been unable to quite. It’s […]
