Urban Fine Art Fave - "Hey Mr. DJ"
PHOTOGRAPHY
Hey Mr. DJ - Here is a portrait of DJ Sureshot killing it on the 1s and 2s at Taj in lower Manhattan.
Sureshot and I went to High School together so it is with great pleasure that I get to posterize him with an Urban Fine Art Photo.

Tales From The Caribbean Hood - "We Entrepreneurs"
Welcome to a special Tales From The Caribbean Hood. This episode is called "We Entrepreneurs". Let us listen in as West Indian Mike breaks it down...
"These days business is very high-tech. And you know we West Indians are highly entrepreneurial. To the naked eye this image looks like an upside down shopping cart. However, this is actually a Mobile Chicken Coop. Yes, you can mind your chickens anywhere you'd like now.
We like to call this our "Sidewalk Special". It has improved our customer's productivity by 33%. Don't delay, buy one now."

iPhone Urban Fine Art Fave - "The Way"
"The Way"
As I was doing location scouting for a photo shoot in Trinidad, I saw this frame of an abandonded chapel which I found very interesting. I took this photo from the inside looking out. I call it "The Way".
Although narrow, it leads toward illumination. I see the tree (of life) ahead. I ackowledge the door broken off to the side as if access was granted to me by an incredible force. I see the top of the doorway is divided from the top down.
When I look at this I can't help but think about God and what He has done in my life. He makes a way because Jesus is "The Way".

The Beautiful People @ Adina & Trevor's Wedding
WEDDING
When Adina told me she needed a photographer for her destination wedding right outside of Tampa, Florida, I was very happy. Adina and I attended the same primary school so we go way back.
The guest list was about seventy-five people who gathered at the lovely Safety Harbor Resort and Spa. And we truly danced like nobody's business that afternoon/evening.
Check out this video to enjoy the beautiful people who were there.

Welcome to another Tales From The Hood. Let's listen in as Hector shares his insight to his boy Alex...
"Son, I don't buy from the bodegas anymore. Duane Reade is like the Costcos for blunts. Look over the counter. They got over 50 different flavas. I'm high right now just looking at this."

La La Leslie Sweet 16
PHOTOGRAPHY
It was such a pleasure to photograph Leslie's Sweet 16. The Melendez family is hilarious and very loving. And they know how to party.
Towards the end of the night I was both dancing and photographing people at the same time. I had a blast.
It is evident in this slideshow.

Steel Pan
The steel pan is the only acoustic (non-electric) instrument invented in the twentieth century. It was invented on the island of Trinidad
It is the national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago, and is still strongly associated with Calypso and other Caribbean music styles.

Urban Fine Art Fave - "Brushed"
PHOTOGRAPHY
Brushed - It is dry season in Trinidad right now. With the lack of rain, much of the vegetation is dry. This can lead to brush fires.
For each of the ten days I was in Trinidad, I either smelled the ash from a brush fire, saw the smoke of a brush fire, or actually witnessed the actual flames from a brush fire.
This landscape was taken en route to the north coast.

Macqueripe
Macqueripe is a lovely place in Trinidad. This is one of the spots I go to for relaxation in the salt water.
If you look in the deep horizon you can see the coastline of Venezuela.
