Footwork Flicks

I took some shots of the Sunday night Battlegroundz crew that you can check out on my flickr "Footwork" set. It translates pretty poorly to photos, but I tried. Not having a good flash doesn't make it much easier either. Keep checking it for more attempts in the future.

Making a Young Mess

Messy Marv - Ask Yourself (from Prices on My Head, Thug Money on your Family vol 2 2009)

Some awesome Welsh dude took the time to create an archive of important events throughout history in which Messy Marv was present. The "Any Picture Can Be Improved by Adding Messy Marv to it" project depicts Young Mess at high school dances, in a tsunami, and destroying the Death Star with his eyes. He has witnessed the fall of Saddam, Bobby Kennedy's assassination, and the Hindenburg incident. Who would have thought?

Thanks to the great Nation of Thizzlam.

Bruce Davidson

I said there was going to be more photography on here.


Before NYC got all pretty, Magnum photographer Bruce Davidson was key in documenting Harlem during the civil rights and beyond. "East 100th Street" remains one of the finest photobooks I have ever seen and "Subway" is a beautiful look at the MTA before the buff and the broken window policy. You can flip through a good portion of his books here.

Meet Mahjay

New photo series of mine of mine. Mahjay is a local high school kid who boxes at a little gym across the street from my house on Chicago ave. He dragged me into his gym a few months ago after he saw me with my clunky ass view camera in the park and we have been buddies ever since. My neighborhood has about 5 schools in a 10 block radius and this gym is packed with kids after school everyday. My first series on people so far, though I didn't really do anything aside from take light meter readings and click the shutter. Little dude was directing my ass.

Rest of the series can be seen here.


This blog needs more photography, music related or not.

How the Fuck Did this Happen?

Recently came across this great photoblog Angola Em Photos via Kuduro Files with lots of beautiful photos of the country that brought you "Hard Ass". Browse through the pictures while jamming some of the crazy music and podcasts that are updated pretty regularly.

I really can't think of another form of music I've had more trouble following than Kuduro. Hopefully more resources like these will keep popping up.
