Victim: Brock Mills

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. 

 

Victim: Muslims

I'm guessing that if a majority of the people reading this post know who the rent is too damn high guy is then they are aware that a Mosque is being built near ground zero. Wrong! Contrary to media belief it is actually cultural center for Muslims which also has a place for them to worship. Now as someone who was in a building across the street from the towers when the first plane hit and saw the second plane hit from about a block away, one would assume that I am totally against the cultural center being built. Wrong! Again! I refuse to denounce one faith group because of an act of a few individuals that "belong(ed)" to it.  Trust, I know what that is like. I am not Muslim but I do believe in tolerance. 

I did not intend to touch on this topic when I took the picture but sometimes the pictures title themselves and write their own captions. The Pic 2 link is a shot I took but the flash did not go off as intended. I liked it so I edited it.

Victim: Queens Musuem of Art

Recently I made it out to the Queens Musuem of Art and no this is not the helicopter view over. It is an exhibit at the musuem, a panorama of the City of New York. It would be nice of them to allow ground level viewing but I guess they don't want a Godzilla reenactment. 

Victim: Polar Bear

It is getting colder and as I was going through some desktop pics I came across this one I took at the Bronx Zoo a few months ago. I don't look forward to temps dropping but I do look forward to taking some snow pics. This was supposed to be an Urban Plantscape picture post but I am not done with those yet but I will be by the end of the day. We took some dope shots on the Upper East Side and filmed a commercial that should be out within the month. The Derrick Pike edits will be done by tomorrow and viewable here . Stay tuned.
