MOTIVATION

Im never quitting, doesn't matter how hard it gets...doesn't matter if i have to get a part time job. I feel it within me that im going to make it, become successful, be respected through my photography. become a role model to someone. 

Im back home for the holidays and i've missed my family so much that i dont even want to go out cuz i feel like if im not home i won't get to enjoy my parents. i have two more weeks here with them. fuck! time flies man....sometimes it sucks how fast it goes by.

I want to see my name in lights! to have a gallery opening of my work in NYC. shoot for magazines. and also be able to make enough money so that my dad doesnt have to work anymore, to take care of my  parents when they get old. to not have to worry about shit...if i see a shirt i like..i wanna be able to fuckin buy it and not feel guilty about spending money....i want to do a lot of things in my life.

but first things first....wiggle your big toe

Money

sigh...without it you can't do shit..lol.

Mikel

I met Mikel at barnes & noble. I was hanging out with my friend Jamar and this kid comes walkin around and i tell jamar "ey dude he would be cool to photograph,i should give him one of my cards" 

so i do......and we talk about i forget what...but i ask him to check out my website and if he likes it to send me an e-mail.

so he does.....and we end up hangin out and we did a shoot in which jamar styled .the shoot was at coney island. it was very simple. but yet still came out nice. 

a couple days later i end up hanging out with mikel and at this point i guess i could say were friends. 

the shot above was styled by david bell, whom he also styled the shoot i did at the hudson hotel in NYC. Mikel is a really talented musician. his music is dope. i am a fan.
