Right now I'm watching the First 48 but for the next 48 I will be editing photos I shot of Hip-Hops future, North Carolina's own, Rain. We shot these down in Dumbo yesterday despite the extra chill coming off the water. Quick shoots are the best, sometimes. More shots on the way.
Today I shot myself. I pulled a Plaxico Burress. Fortunately the only sentences handed out are the ones you read here. Yesterday I took some self portraits and today I took some more after deciding to turn it into a series that may become a year long project. I won't show the results, maybe a few pics here and there but the main dish won't be served until the project is complete or in the event of my untimely demise. I definitely wanted to document my hair growing progress which will last until I decide to cut it of course. That could be tomorrow or next year, which isn't as distant as it sounds. The only hair growth documented in the pic below is the hair on my chest but every pic isn't supposed to record the hair growth on my medulla. I am also attempting to capture me as I grow with it. Get older to say the least. One other important reason for this series is that I would love for it to inspire future photo shoots. When time has passed and the vault is opened on the self portraits don't be surprised to see some mirror shots that I have taken of others.
Hey remember Shenay? Now? :) Well she hit me up nearly a month ago and asked if I could lend a helping hand or two and a camera to a Role Model Program that she is involved with. They mentor teenage girls that are interested in the modeling and entertainment industry. There were ten girls in attendance that I shot along with fellow photographer Zoe Mocker at The Secret Loft. They are having an event in about a month and they would like to display headshots for each girl. Great! I have about three weeks to procrastinate before I present them. I kid, I kid!
So Mr. Milly Dough also known as The Gorilla Pod Savior also known as Alan Mildor also known as a good dude asked me to shoot some behind the scenes video/pics for him today. He had a shoot and how could I say no to someone that found and returned the gorilla pod that I got on my birthday before he even met me. I didn't even know he found it or had it but he was honest enough to say so. There are good people around still. Just in case you didn't think so. Check out more of his work here. > Alan Mildor Photography

I got to shoot the Homie Derek Pike today. Director slash photog extraordinaire. He shot the Sheek, "Cocaine Trafficking" video I shot at a few weeks back. And he has like 20,000 other vids on the way. Check his site & blog for more D. Pike! We kicked it for a bit and manage to get some fresh flicks out of it. More on the way!
