Jojo Day

when you have friends, you want to make them feel special on their birthday. that was the plan for my friend Jojo on his day. i told him that i wanted to have a little shoot with him and told him to wear a floral shirt so we can go take pictures at the park. being that i'm into the whole natural thing, i thought to bring him along. after the shoot, i sent our friends different pictures so that they post with hashtags dedicated to him, and it was magical. #JojoRevolution.

Street Dreams Magazine instaMeet

i also got to partake in my first instaMeet that was organized by the great people at Street Dreams Magazine. i would see the outcomes from their meets on Instagram but never saw how people were connecting and networking while doing something they love. it was a very hot day with the Sun having no mercy on us but yet we still got together in Dumbo, Brooklyn to take pictures and making new friends. i got to meet a dope photographer, we started talking about our mala beads and we just clicked. check out his work @Burhon_N my man is dope.

Mile High Club in DC

and here is to my first traveling gig, as you remember i did a post on the Mile High Club and they had their first event in DC and brought me along with them. getting there though was mission in itself. i went out to the city the night before and came home at 4am and found out that my ride to DC couldn't come anymore so i had to go by bus. my bus was to depart at 8:30am and had to take the 7:04 train back to the city. when i arrived to the DC i could of easily taken a taxi to the location but i decided to walk for about an hour taking pictures of DC along the way, got to do a little photo journalism. i encountered a lot of homeless folks and they were nothing like those in New York. they were more upfront on how they talked and approached you which made me feel a bit uncomfortable. i also noticed a lot of constructions being done and a lot of new apartments being built.
