"Picture That Like Kodak" -Another Instgram Exhibit

If you're NOT up on Instagram and you're interested in photography even in the slightest, then BOY have you missing out on some fun stuff!Allow me to bring you up to speed. Instagram is an app feature on the latest smartphones that allow even the most casual photog, to shoot some interesting images from their phone and "develop" them is a various amount of funky styles. SO addictive! See me, I carry an ACTUAL camera (Canon T2I) at all times so I often forget to experiment with my phone app.  But when I do...PURE MAGIC! So here a lil' "photo exhibit" I've curated from some of my Instagram contributions that I'll share with you guys.

"Can I Liv?" -Video From the Infamous Jay-Z Throne Celebration In Liv Nightclub Miami

Now I'm pretty sure you've had to hear about this infamous night at some point in time recently. The video posted below is the well documented night in Club Liv (located inside the Fountainbleu Hotel) in Miami, that Jay-Z intentionally set out to smash the record (whatever THAT was) for the most bottles (of Ace of Spades) popped in one singular night! However what was astonishing to me was not that, but the admission price to get IN! Admission for ladies (for ladies folks!) started at $300 a head! And dudes were $500 a pop! And that didn't include valet parking or coat check (LOL)! If you EVER hear me spending THAT much to get in a club best believe that I either had the lottery for a couple mill, I sold this very blog to the highest bidder, OR that bank account I started in 3rd grade FINALLY tracked me down and I collected MAD interest on it! Or simply...I lost my GOD DAMN MIND! From me to even consider it someone better tell me he's perform RIGHT at your table while pouring drinks! Or that comes with an IOU to get a free lap dance in ANY public setting of my choice from Rihanna! Shiiit! Real talk! Oops, sorry NEW slang alert, "Free speech!" Anyways I really posted this cause I dug the camera work on this one. AND to make you understand how BADLY in need a Canon 7D/Mark V in my life right now. It'll step my game up big time so I can correctlt capture "movie" nights like this one. Sigh! Can I Liv?

"Get Into The Party Life" -Gotta Get Over The Hump!

WOW! Let me find out that Wednesday is slowly becoming the NEW Saturday! I have THREE must attend events going on tomorrow that I will definitely need clones to show up for me at. The first one is VERY important to me...

A ways back an acquaintance of mine (Dinna Alexanyan) hit me up to inquire if I know anyone that was interested in submitting any erotic style art be it, poetry, film, photographs, etc. I asked "You starting a porn book or something?" and the reply was that it was for a contest that showcased amateurs being creative through the erotic genre. I tossed my hat into the ring with one of my past videos shot earlier this year and long story short...I WON! So my winning video will be featured TOMORROW in the showcase as well as the other winning entrees in their perspective genres. So come out and support! Hopefully the prize was a NEW camera (Canon 60D or 7D)...I'm JUST sayin'! Here's my trophy piece, make such the bosses don't see you watching this on the gig. "HOUSTONLANTAVEGAS" Which reminds me, I NEED to buy a blank DVD to burn this to for the screening tomorrow.

"Pic(s) Of The Litter!" -Candid Eye Spy Street Shots

Now that I've been shooting video, I've been TOTALLY abusing the photography side of my creativeness. Well, NOT totally cause I DO have a bunch of photos I'll be posting up from time to time that I deem viewable. Besides I need the space on my computer to make room for more videos Hahahaha!

"Start It Up! Vroom Vroom!" -A Video Salute To The Start Of Summer

"Been around the world and I I I!" Man being a socialite, ESPECIALLY in Brooklyn, is HARD dawg! I often forget all I've been invited too and attended in a week. Thank goodness for my trusty Canon T2I cause now I can capture all that I see and share it. Besides, a brother gettin' old man! This often helps to jar my memory just looking back at the footage. However now to keep thangs entertaining, I use an old favorite jam of mine to use as the soundtrack to the mayham. Enjoy folks, you & I are not getting an younger. So here's a quick montage of just within the last two weeks of stuff I've attended.

"Grey Matters!" -FreiZze Prepares To Usher In the "Grey Era"

Hey, doesn't always seems like just when you've figured someone out they flip the switch on you and change UP? Or could it be that you never took the time to REALLY get to know that person entirely huh? I bring this up cause I'm betting that you thought Frei (of the Ahficionados, the Block Association, Pedigree) was a three trick pony right? Negative...he's a FOUR trick pony, and his latest act maybe his most surprising one of all! I can't go into TOO much detail, but judging from the pics below you can guess it has SOMETHING to do with music (other than DJing). Now you guys can understand exactly WHY I f**ks w/the Block. Each person is individually creative in their own right, and they are an inspiration to be around. SALUTE!

"the GREY ERA" soon come...

"I Ain't To Proud To Beg!"- A Couple Of Crazy Sexy Cool Things I Need In My Life

They say money doesn't buy happiest, but it DOES buy you things that will definitely change a ni**a mood for the better RIGHT!?! I'm pretty cool with the things I acquired in life, but as true to human nature we ALWAYS want MORE! Even if the MORE is giving. Anyway, here's a list of things that I come across that I've taken a fancy to that would REALLY be game changers for me. Till I get bored and what something else new. But until then here's what I'm FEELING for the moment...

The OVERSIZED leather seat (minus the ottoman)
Ralph Lauren sells one (mad expensive) but it doesn't have to be THAT one! I need one exactly like this one pictured to match a chair I have already...coordination!














Next up is this (not sure of the brand) Mickey Mouse sweatshirt to add to my already growing collection of Mickey sweats! I thinking this was made a bit more recently than the vintage ones I own, but I dig it!


















Yeah, this one is a stretch but can't a ni**a dream? I said to myself "If I ever come into some BIG money, and decide to own a car again, I NEED a 67' Continental w/ the suicide doors in my life!" (preferably in black, like me). Man this joint update & renovated is one SWEET ride! Plus it's an ode to my fascination w/ the Matrix
(Morpheus' car)




And lastly, YES yet ANOTHER camera! I figure "my life is a movie so hey why the f**k not make one?" Right? I do have a quality camera at this present time, but when you KNOW you can get better, you WANT better! Besides I tired of trying to make meatloaf taste like steak! If I'm gonna get my "Hype Williams on" then I need Hype Williams type s**t!!! Feel me? And this is one of the cameras (Canon 7D or Mark IV) that will at least get my foot in the lobby, my imagination will get me in the building...then the top floor!



















So hopefully God willing, if I get ALL of these things listed I can come home to relax in my big ass leather chair, dressed in my Mickey sweatshirt, to rest after a long day driving around in my stinkin' Lincoln taking pictures of folks who's jaws dropped look at my bad ass whip!

"Concrete Roses...& Tulips, & Lillies..." -Brooklyn Botanical Garden Blooms

When was the LAST time you ventured into the Brooklyn Botanical Garden huh? Please don't say it was on a class trip man! That's SAD! Cause if you can trek yo ass to that side of Brooklyn to shake yo ass or gawk at chicks during Target's First Saturdays then on a lazy Sunday you can easily make you way here! It's RIGHT next door people! I don't mean to be a "nature bully" but until I started making my yearly trip to the BBG to test whatever camera I had at the time. I truly began to appreciate all the beauty nature has to offer, once I looked back at the shots taken. This year was NO different, I had my newest camera (my Canon T2i) in hand and was dying to see the potential of what it could do in a natural sunlight setting. I think it did quite well! But to be fair I posted some pics below for you to peep and I let you be the judge.
