After the last season of America’s Next Top Model, I said that I was no longer gonna watch the show. The show that I used to love. I got sick of the over the top challenges, the colorism issues between the Black girls, the endless company and product plugging etc. It just became too much. […]

When I saw this Mercedes Benz illustration on Kiss My Black Ads, I got a little hype. Talk about cool design that appeals to my right brained self. The imagery alone is stimulating but the brain descriptions read like poetry. Doesn’t seem like much of a cars sales ad but hey! Left Brain– I am […]

I remember years ago when I said that I did not want to photograph people because I was happy & comfortable doing still lifes. That all changed obviously. Evolution is a beautiful thing! With that said, I present you with my favorite portraits from 2010. To view full screen, peep this… Please enjoy!
