Indianapolis + B.O.E. + More
This is one of the many shoots that I had while I was in Indianapolis. This was actually the very LAST shoot that I did RIGHT before I left. The shoot was with rap group B.O.E. (Monte & Luciano), Smurf and DJ Mon. I love this shoot, it has a "real life", hood type of feel to it. The house was actually the home of Monte during his younger years (now abandoned). Check it out...

Grind x Werque! = Progress + Growth
For those who didn't know...the Holla Fashions website is up and active. It has been updated in the photography section, so just make sure you check it weekly..or daily if u prefer. I will be notifying you about updates here on my blog.
Though I have been grindin hard lately, I have also been taking time out for self to get myself organize, that way it makes my grind much easier. It feels good to take time out, because a lot of people that I deal with throughout the course of the day are very inconsiderate and forget that I'm not a machine. People act like I don't have a personal life of my own...normally when my phone rings, its always someone asking for something but never someone calling just to talk. Thats why I just wanna say to my true friends that I really appreciate them all. Also for everyone who supported me on the southern entertainment awards...I appreciate you. Though I did not come out with a win, I came out with recognition, a nomination, and I have met a lot of new people from it in this past year. You can't take that away from me. In the past year I have grown a lot...in my personal life and within my craft as well. This year I will be going for the SEA's again, and whatever comes out of it is what I will receive. I'm grateful for whatever comes my way.
Earlier today I did a photoshoot with a local hip-hop group known as the Street Poets. Real cool dudes, I know them on a personal level as well as a business level. The shoot came out great...honestly, it doesn't need to be edited but I'm gonna do a couple of edits before I post anyway. Look out for that shoot later after I get back from ATL. I have a couple of other shoots to post before that...some b4 I went to Indianapolis and 3 more in Indianapolis. Maybe I'll find the time to book myself for another self-portrait shoot....HA! That wont be happening for a while.
Look out for the youtube channel...yea, I'm going to have fun with that. A lot of people don't know that I have a hidden talent of video editing lol. Thats like when I let people know I played the sax for 6 years :-O (alto, tenor, and baritone lol). The shoots in Indianapolis were recorded in HD. And I will find time to get some footage of other things along the way to keep yall attention.
Meanwhile, I have decided to leave to ATL a lil earlier than expected for this event with Fusion the Band (shout out to Fusion btw! I ride with them 100%). On March 26th (yes, thats a thursday for those of u who are bad with dates)... Fusion the Band opens for N.E.R.D. Such an exciting event...and yes I get to do the photography, I might bring my camcorder as well. I'm going to be in Atlanta from monday until friday, but I might end up leaving EARLY saturday because Wale performs with UCB & B.O.B. at 8pm friday night...you know I gotta see the homie do his thing since I missed the show in Nashville, TN. I gotta work at my "normal" job that saturday morning at 10am so I know I'm pushing it. Then that evening I gotta do the photography for Lil Wil (my dougie) & Cashmoney's All-Star Concert at 7pm in the Clement Auditorium at Austin Peay State Univ (yea u like that plug lol)....talk about Grind? I gotta photoshoot right before that with a sorority. Yes...I work hard, So after a 4 and a half hr drive, 5 hr work shift, 1 hr photoshoot, 2hr concert, oh and did I mention the photography for the after-party too? naw...I wont pass out. I'll just wake up and be ready to do it all over again...I guess I am a machine after all....
I'm working like I was never nominated....Aye marty lol, thats the answer to ur question! ("how does it feel not to lose 1, but 2 SEA Awards?") HA!

Tyrone featuring Young Maine - Me & You (Cover)
The sole purpose of my Indianapolis trip was to help my homie Tyrone (Brightwood Entertainment) with the photoshoot for his album cover, singles cover, and his promotional photos for his mixtape Rydah Muzik (dropping June 1st,2009). I'm gonna let yall know now....THE MIXTAPE IS GOING TO BE OFF THE CHAIN! And I wouldn't say that about anything because music is my motivation. The first thing I'm posting is the cover and back cover for the first single off the mixtape....featuring Young Maine (who is also a beast), its called "Me & You". This song is radio material, and will also be hot for the clubs. I did the photography for the cover, the shirt he is wearing on the cover, and the actual design and edits of the cover.
The mixtape has NO industry beats, so it is completely original. So when the time comes I will post the single on my blog, on my youtube channel (coming soon), myspace, facebook, as well as my website....yes, we will be pushing it real hard. I put my time and effort behind it because it is THAT GOOD! Meanwhile, u get to see how I murdered the photoshoot & the cover for the single "Me & You" ;)
Stay tuned for the entire photoshoot, video footage from the shoot, the song itself and more!

SuddaKane Shoot: Indianapolis, IN
While I was in Indianapolis, I had time to squeeze in an extra photoshoot. That way I could make a lil more money while I was out there. The shoot was with south carolina native SuddaKane...a hot rapper that reps where he from to the fullest. Cool dude, he even lived in DC before so he knew all about go-go and all that. He also did a video shout out and an exclusive freestyle, holla youtube channel coming soon. Check out the shoot.

6th Annual Southern Entertainment Awards
Unfortunately, I didn't win any awards for the S.E.A.'s this year, I found that out earlierthis evening. But I am just glad to be nominated, and hopefully I am nominated again next year. Thank you to everyone for your support, its highly appreciated! I would like to say congrats to the winners in my category (Gullee Originals for clothing line of the year & Deshun Smith for photographer of the year). This isn't something that will slow me down, I am very focused and this year will be big for me...very big. Thanks again!
Meanwhile: Next week, photography for Fusion the Band (the band I work with), opening up for N.E.R.D. in Atlanta, GA.

Jag Rose inks up My Older Brother
Before I did the photoshoot with Jag Rose, he tatted up my brother. I designed the tat. Similar to the skyline I have on my "creator of creativity" tat....My brother's tat starts off with the DC Skyline which flows into "Mz.Dee & Joe" which is my mother & Me. Cool lil design. Tat didn't take too long for Jag Rose to complete.
