Quick Shot x NYSF
I always been a fan of NYSF Photography. They’re definitely BIG at what they do and they happen to capture moments of life beautifully. Soho never looked better – the lighting in this photo is dope. Shout outs to Maine and Nell at NYSF.
The Original Hipster x Julia Chesky
The OG Hipster. Picture-perfect representation of a Clean Mess. Because you’re homeless, it doesn’t mean you have to look homeless. That goes for anything. And fuck all those label whores, men and women.
Parson School graduate Julia Chesky presents a fantastic series of photographs, entitled “The Original Hipster”. She shot the series with art director Ali Lee and homeless model Chris.
“Our lovely model, Chris, has lived on Mercer Street for a few decades by choice. I’m calling this series The Original Hipster because on most days he doesn’t even look like he’s truly homeless.“

I’m still play’n around with this tilt shift photography, bare with me. This dude, haha, wasn’t suppose to be in this shot but it happens to look good. We was all over the Lower x Soho look’n at the other designs out there, talk’n about our projects and jus kick’n it.
Y’all will be see’n more of this dude with some exclusive sneaker reviews, you heard it here. SneakerSoleTv!

I was in the Lower today with some of my cohorts, good times. I was mess’n around with the tripod at Jay’s crib for a little when I took this photo. On top of that, I want to learn to play the piano; I’m going to mess around with the synthesizer next. Making beats, who knows? I haven’t used one, but why not try it. Enjoi!
St. Patrick’s Cathedral
Not try’na toot my own horn, but this photo is so dope. Depth perception is heavy in this one. I tried something new called tilt shift photography. It’s when you focus the lens on a single part of the photo and shift around the surrounding/neighboring area to create an optical illusion of miniaturized scenery. Real tilt shift lenses are quite expensive, but a similar effect can be achieved by using Photoshop after you take the photo.

Terry Richardson Again! x “Omar”
I posted this up for my brother because he’s been watch’n The Wire religiously since season one. Terry Richardson puts in a lot of work! He did some work for the upcoming issue of Vice Magazine, which features Michael K Williams, “Omar” on HBO’s The Wire.
Save St. James School
I went out to St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Sunday to demonstrate and rally with current current St. James students and faculty. After all these years, the Archdiocese is CLOSING one of NYC historical Catholic schools!!! We need to show our support & help out – if not 300 CHILDREN WILL BE DISPLACED. As a St. James alumnus, I for one, am truly hurt and will do what I can to help. Anyone out there who can understand the situation – PLEASE SHOW YOUR SUPPORT!!! A culturally diverse school is being taken over to be transformed into another Transfiguration, which by the way, happens to be filled with 90% of Buddhists.
The 213 students at St. James – which opened in 1854 – are being allowed to attend nearby St. Joseph’s school as part of a merger between both parishes to save money.
The roughly 70 or so parents and teachers were also protesting the closing of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral School on Mott Street in Little Italy, which opened in 1822 and is the oldest Catholic school in the city.

Worker’s Comp.
I work at Brooklyn warehouse when I’m home for the semester breaks – every morning me and mass of other men wait to be called for work. Every morning 6:30 am. You could even say it’s an example of institutionalization. I see this every morning.

I thought about Starin’ Through my Rear View by Tupac as I looked at this photo. (Lyrics after the jump)
Brief: TEN:15
HOW DID IT START: a small group of people looking for an artistic diversion in the morning.
WHY?: We thought it would be interesting to see what one minute in time looks like in different places. A collection of life, work + play that revolves around 10:15 am.
It’s provided us with an opportunity to take a step back and look at our surroundings differently. Plus it’s always fun to see what other people are doing.
JOIN THE EXPERIMENT: If you have a camera phone or camera on you at 10:15 am, take a photo that shows a random glimpse of your life at that moment and email it in. Include your name, the location, a title for your photo and your website link (if you have one). Thanks for playing!

Grime Textures
Two free high quality grime textures by Bizy Dreaming. The snow was crazy this weekend in Brooklyn and from what I heard, Long Island got it worse. I was coming home from work today, fortunately I had my camera, and the buses were just grimey with dirty snow residue, YUCK! Anyway, here you go!
Download here.
You can gather your own textures with any digital camera you have laying down, it’s easy. Anything you find interesting or abstract can be used as textures for your work.
