Suggested Listening: “Soulshine” by DJ Cam

As always.. my lack of activity can be attributed to: work, school, shooting. (ed. note: sleep not listed)

Love that Soulshine record though.

These past few weeks have been excellent to me, but who are we kidding. 2007 has been a good one. This past weekend was the VII seminar in dena. 7 of the 9 photographers.. some really dedicated staff members and a few exceptional alumni interns.. a dash of boogie, marcus bleasdale, and jessica dimmock .. check.

dena sunshine. check.

lady, friends, family. check.

sleep. empty checkbox.

everyone should buy a copy of “Hearts and Minds” from amazon right now. incredible documentary.

here are some photos..

“Don’t see my ones, don’t see my guns – get it Now tell ya friends Poppa hit it then split it In two as I flow with the Junior Mafia I don’t know what the hell’s stoppin’ ya I’m clockin’ ya – Versace shades watchin’ ya Once ya grin, I’m in game, begin.”

hippies and hipsters

with 7 comments

Suggested listening: “D.A.N.C.E. (Alan Braxe Remix)” by Justice

had the chance to see Bonobo spin in San Francisco on my birthday.. SF was a breathe of fresh air.. it was excellent to see so many familiar faces that i had been missing for far too long. Contrary to popular belief, Simon Greene is nasty on the decks and i wrecked myself on the dancefloor for hours.

its ok josh, i still love you, and thanks for coming to the bay area sidewalk rage-a-thon. everyone check out this weeks sack of songs over at bwank… the feist remix is blazing!!

it was good to visit, but damn i’m glad to rid myself of the hippies running rampant. love em, but hate em. i checked out this years “Power to the Peaceful” festival in golden gate and took a sampling of societies finest. hope you all enjoy.

should have a multimedia piece done by mid next week..

also, prspctv.net is getting a facelift, boobjob, and tummytuck.

i wonder

with 2 comments

Suggested listening: “Graduation” by K. West

and i wonder.. if you know, what i mean. *repeat* this album is hot.

back in boston for a bit.. headed to san francisco on friday to see god spin for hours. if anyone wants to boogie on the 7th.. get at me! cant wait to see the bay area fam.

starting work on tuesday.. back to class and on a new foot. will be making some big announcements soon on several fronts.. remember: fuck now, whats next?

i had my first real encounter with the fundamentalist religious fanatics that plague society earlier today. One of the many drunk asshole red-sox fans that frequent this town took time out of his morning to get close enough to me to smell the champagne of beers on his breathe and share his thoughts: “The Yankees Blow.” i love my ny cap and will wear it to spite any haters. love the hate.

so 323 photos later, i’m back to work/class.. but damn.. what a summer. and i have more than enough images to recount the best of it all.

i send my love to all the residents of marcy projects and of course to the ten eyck fam and my hassidic landlord.
