I wanna let you know that i am greatful to know you and have become that much better of a person because of it. I'm quite the anti-social and my words or expressions don't always come out the way i mean them to so please don't hold that against me. I've got love for those good people and i want all to know.
Here are some snaps i took last weekend of Zumbi from the legendary Zoin I Crew . Make sure to check the website for Amp Live's latest remixes along with show dates and the new boxset The Alpha .

The Lone Photographer
I might not have a huge following as a photographer but, my heart is in it more than you'll ever know. I put 110% into what i do and sleep so well at night knowing that i express my creativity on a daily basis. I know that if i could no longer document the world around me through images the way i see, i would have a hard time facing all of the other situations that life throw's my way.
Such a amazing feeling, being in love with something so perfect.
Holiday weekend is here and i hope everyone stays safe and has fun. I also want to thank all of you on facebook for promoting my Vol. 2... from Tim House to DJ Shredone thank you guys sooo much!
and i'm out

Madison Square Park Oakland, Ca
Last saturday i was lucky enough to document the "maddy park sessions" skate,hip hop,graf event. Big ups to Anthony Cole of teamrazorfang.com who invited me to capture the day. It was a super hot day and my 24-70 almost melted in my hands after 7 hours of shooting but, i think i grabbed some bangers and i had a great time.
Shouts to the Chosen few, Bossasaurus, Pep Love & DJ Lex.

I have alot i would like to write about and alot i would like to do these days but, my obligations to my day job has me quite tired and unable to do so. As time moves on things will change so, just bare with me till then.

Ritas
This is a shot from my last visit home while strolling up and down South Street with good friends Gus & Holly. It was a super hot afternoon in the city of Philadelphia that day and some Rita's Water Ice was much needed. Thier son Dylan was along for the ride and i caught this while waiting in line for some icy relief.
