Venture Six: August agony

Back by unpopular demand.
So after having some of the most frustrating weeks of my life im back with some photo's.
My rooms a mess, wack weather, cant find a pair of sneakers i want, a combination of a cold and food poisoning, no time on either end, no sleep, My Pc has a virus (thnak god for my Mac's) and the cherry on top is i pretty much lost a few 100 grand......................yeah. and these are the least of my problems.
But the majority of my time is being taken up by other projects in drawing, painting, designing/illustration, web site, portfolio, video editing and motion graphics. So thats at least good. So let me stop with all the cry baby stuff.....

These pic are from two random nights one at Delancy and one at Happy endings. Havent had time to really learn how to use my flash properly so a lot of improvement is in order. After speaking with Angelo for about 10min he blessed with with some flash knowledge that helped me out. So imma step it up. First up Sweat @ The Delancy.......

Venture Five: Sweatshop shoot-out

Sorry updates have been slow, i've been busy and bummed out. This is a good one though.
This is a preview to the Sweatshop Labor photo shoot that i got to be a part of. (Big thanks to Lucas!) On board was Lucas, Phillip Angert (amazing photographer), Sage, Jacky, Jah Jah, Jacob, Jordane, Jvillie and myself.
Phillip Angert, professional photographer, was taking the main photo's while i shot the behind the scene photo's. It was great, i learned a whole bunch just by watching Phillip. His shots were amazing to say the least, and mine were definitley my best so far. I one thing i learned is that i nedd more memory, so im adding another gig to my camera. RAW's take up a lot of space. All this on a multi million dollar white room. Highlight of my summer so far. These are just a few of the photo's i took, a sneak peak. The good stuff will be posted on the Sweatshop labor web site in my links soon! So peep game.

Available at High five in brooklyn/Reed space in the L.E.S/Rival skate shop and many more to come!

So after the shoot Me, Jah Jah, Jacob and Jordane walk it back to brooklyn where we relaxed in the good weather in a park right off the williamsburg bridge. There we met two little kids, Naji and his big brother Craig. Funny kids.

Jacob pitches a fast one

But Naji's a pro "I rocked that joint!!"

Jah see's the hit and gives it a "PYAA"

So i know i said i wouldnt do parties for a while, but after seeing Angelo's photo's (Death by benjamin! in my links) he's motivated me to get the proper equipment. So i went out and got a sb-600 speed light flash. So i'll be all up in yo grill. Also please excuse the crude phototags im working on my logo and watermark.
Jacky says bye bye. Mata ne
