I'm waiting to be hit by something that resembles a ton of bricks. Not literally. An idea that has the weight of 2,000 pounds of masonry. Currently, I'm in a transitional state. I really want to move forward with the shirt production but I think re-branding myself is more important at the moment.
Having your own name is an investment in security and peace of mind. I do not want to share someones steez, swag, (whatever you want to call it.) If its going to be my work, I want it to be mine.. all mine. So thats why I've been waiting. To be inspired. To be hit by this ton of bricks. I have a few ideas. I'm not planning to share just yet. I'm still experimenting. Be patient y'all.
I've also been really busy and kinda blank in terms of what to write about. So forgive me for the lack of blog posts. This is a little thing to let you know I'm still breathing. :)

On the way to the Roots concert, I caught a glimpse of this cool tag on a pillar in the 157th street station (Uptown Side). When on my way back home I remembered at exactly the right moment and got off the train and took the shot and headed home. I'm definitely going to keep this in the vault for the future.
I get my candy fix from this truck. No trust me its cool, he's a good guy!
Tastes Like Gold was an epiphany of mine in the summer of 2009, at first it was just a vehicle to create shirts displaying my photos… just for myself. It slowly turned into an ongoing marketing project that has become more than just a hobby, more than just a past time, but a way to share an emotion beyond mere words. As a budding photographer i’ve always been attracted to the simpler things in life. In my opinion there’s much beauty to be found in sheer simplicity.
Just remember it doesnt stop at the photos, its an entire culture and way of life that we are apart of EVERY SINGLE DAY. Open up and try some new stuff.
