The Cultivated Canvas

I know it's been a while since I've posted pics. Sometimes, life can get really REAL and then you end up getting sidetracked. Fortunately, my distraction was bettering myself as a person and honing in on my craft - photography. During all the time off, I picked up on my Converse Series photos which is also known as the Walk In My Shoes series. I started another series of photos called The Brick Series. This series is a collection of photos that I've been shooting around NYC. It focuses on the people and places that inspire me and the foundation in which the inspiration was started. All buildings start with a base/foundation, and after layers and work are applied to these foundations, it becomes a beautiful structure. Hence the name Brick Series.
Working closely with my mentor Nasilele has taught me to have patience in the things I choose to photograph and that all shots don't necessarily have to be rushed. It's truly about the composition. One of the things I am most proud of is that I get to be one of the guest artists for an art exhibit called The Cultivated Canvas which features Nasilele, an extremely talented artist named Kerream Jones and myself! The exhibit takes place on July 11th - 13th, 2014. We are extremely excited to display the things we've been working on. After the show is done, I will post the pieces I contributed to the exhibit here as well as a few photos taken during the 3 day event. Feel free to stop by and get your much needed 'fix' of art from three young, talented and upcoming artists.

This was a long and cold winter...

Winter... I love it! You get a chance to dress really warm and can make yourself as warm as you want. Whereas the summer, no matter what you put on, you will be hot... and sweaty! Luckily, I don't mind going out in the winter with my camera. The snow was extremely brutal this winter. So of course it made for good photo-ops. I'd like to share a few with you...
