Meet Nikkie

The Parade was today and I had every intention to go.... It didn't happen, but I walked outside to go to the store and VOILA.   Puerto Rican Pride!!!

Delphine Diaw Diallo

Bushwick Open Studios June 4-6 2010.... It's a really cool concept "Now in it's fourth year, Bushwick Open Studios is an exciting opportunity for artist to experiment outside the standard concept of sales and space competition."

I have been a fan of Delphine's collage work since I saw it in Clam and Trace Magazine. It was great to see it today in person in her space, and to hear her inspiration behind the work.

Grill Master

From Grill Master

This was one of the first warm days of the season. Chris is always cooking something on the grill, but today I had to take a closer look because it smelled delicious... I have to say he got skills, now I see why he is always the "grill master."

Chinatown

From crowd

I went to Chinatown the other day and the crowd was just overwhelming, I had my camera so I zoomed in.... so much activity.

Similing Eyes

She was drying her nails next to me in the nail salon and I could not stop looking at her lashes, they were beautiful. She told me her secret but I'll never tell....

Miami

I love the coffee and breakfast at this spot. It's very old school, and I love to hang out and watch the staff, they all have a style and grace about them, reminds me of the Dresden Room in LA. They let me hang out and snap while I wait for my food.

Family, Friends and Offspings....

I've seen these guys grow up, and I have to say that I am always in awe, and impressed when they show up at the house for birthday dinners, bbq's and such... I can't believe they still want to hang out with their parents, no less their parents friends? I hope mine feel the same about us...

Natural Koncept

Boogie was hanging out with his friend JZ on the official first day of spring... they were nice enough to let me tag along and snap.

Brooklyn Blonde pt. 3

Meet Millie... I really enjoyed shooting her, because she was really happy to have her photo taken. I was in awe of how perfectly she applied her lipstick and was very happy with this shot of her, she has such a warm spirit. We were so busy talking I forgot to ask her why she was blonde.




This is Cherry, I saw her walking down the street and I ran to get her number. (so embarrassing) When she came to the house to shoot she was wearing so much make up she looked like a completely different person, and it threw me off. Not in a bad way, just not the fresh face that I remembered. She didn't finish her answer to why she's blonde..... "I've always been blonde..."




Shumaya came to a baby shower next door. She's not blonde, but she was giving me something really special with her hair color and her regal strength and beauty.




Erica..... she was a trooper, she let me make an attempt to dye her hair blonde, it didn't work but it made for a fun day!!

Jamaican Cousine

Nic and Fabian know their way around the kitchen, and whipped up some Proper meals for all of us that I will miss very much. It was the first time I actually had a tear in my eye leaving Jamaica, good people, good vibes, and good food.
