"Wham BAM Thank You Jam! -Yazarah Concert Live At BAM Cafe'

Talk about irony man! Peep it, last Sat. after 'Frei (the Ahficionados) and I had a video editing session trying to get this "Hello Brooklyn!" trailer out on time for this Saturday's (Jan.29th) return to Ultraviolet. We both decided afterwards to run through and check out that BAM Cafe' free concert (featuring Yazarah St. James) I was hearing about, that Hard Hittin' Harry was DJaying for. Not but ten minutes inside, up comes a young lady to me (Anita Bryant, whom I DIDN'T recognize at the time) asking if it was possible to take pictures of the event for her. In my mind I was like "Huh? I JUST got this thing! You asking the WRONG dude!" but keep a poker face and agreed anyhow. Once she gave me the "Back up can't you see I'm working" all-access press pass, It was TOO late to turn back then. So long story short, here's the pictures I captured for them. Hope that they meet your approval, I did the best that I know.

"Brooklyn Is Coo Coo For CoCoBananas!" -This Saturday Is Ultraviolet Reign!

It's CRAZY how it was damn near IMPOSSIBLE to find a respectable party in Brooklyn that you didn't feel like you had to throw a protective vest on underneath ya good wears to attend! However with the help of the Block Association and other elite BK socialites (Daoud, Hard Hittin' Harry, Danny Castro & Ant Marshall) that slowly but SURELY starting to change (for the better). Now with the discover of a new space UltraViolet (in Park Slope / Gowanus) we're able to bring you TWO quality parties to Brooklyn night life. "Hello Brooklyn!" our EVERY OTHER Saturday night party (Jan.29th) AND the return of the popular monthly Zodiac parties called "CoCoBananas" all in one place! Here are two great PSA trailers promoting both that I know you'd enjoy! So...ENJOY!

"Coming To You LIVE!" -Must Attend Concerts Coming Up

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE live concerts! Especially when the artist(s) is at the peak of their craft. However I often forget the who, what, and where's to what's going on in town to catch live. And I KNOW you do too, so I've created this guide/list to keep you abreast of things. Put me on the list if you're hosting ANY of these!

"Eye Know The Godspel!" -(Sunday) Schooling Cats On Church Photography

God knows how long it's been since I last attended church, but I work close to two of the BIGGEST churches in NYC...If not the WORLD! Cathedral of St. John the Divine (between West 110th Street, which is also known as "Cathedral Parkway", and 113th Street) & Riverside Church (betwn Riverside Drive and Claremont Avenue & betwn. 120th Street and 122nd Street). However something you walk pass something EVERYDAY and never get to truly appreciate the beauty of it's appearance. That's till now. But new found love for photography got me excited about taking flicks of things with a whole new perspective. Here's a few joints I shot off at the churches mentioned that I think you'd appreciate. Enjoy 'em & prey for me too. Lol
