Summer in Autumn
Finished the shoot with Summer Berry yesterday, the shoot came out great. It was actually done in someone's front yard, and yes...of course I asked permission to use their front yard. It was the perfect setting, it was very windy outside but we were able to complete the shoot before the storm came.
Madden Moments
Just some of my legendary plays against my opponents online. Right now my online record is 13-8 on xbox live, and my offline record is 43-10 (via easports.com) So if you wanna play, add my gamertag "Holla 301", I'm always on.

Creative Inspirations at the slightest...
Sitting here wondering how an idea so simple can inspire me so much. This is not a creation done by me, it was created by an artist named Brock Davis. I seen this when I was browsing on the Behance Network site. Shows me that stuff doesn't always have to be complicated, sometimes simplicity works best.
Just a few from a series he calls "Make something cool everyday 2009"

Practice Makes Perfect
Finally got the chance to test out the lighting and backdrops I ordered 2-3weeks ago. Took me about an hour to get it right. I'm still not 100% satisfied but practice makes perfect. Just trying to broaden my horizons and add to the arsenal. I might end up buying 2 more umbrella lights or some florescent lights from Lowe's. Right now, I'm putting my ideas together and seeing how I wanna go about doing everything. Putting together projects for myself, my own assignments to add to my portfolio while I'm still in search for a design job.
Did a couple of practice shots with Summer Berry (Miss Black Clarksville) to test the lighting. It was a fun lil practice shoot, gotta think of some ideas for the real one though. And congrats to her for getting runner-up in Miss Black Tennessee Pageant. Check out the photos and let me know what you think.

The Day Job x Lyriciss x Progression
Haven't blogged in a good minute...this job has been really taking up a lot of my time. Getting more money now but making less moves and its not in my field at all; thats not something that I actually like. Really thinking about quitting and going back to the way I use to do things. Taking a step back oddly seems like I'll be taking a step forward by doing so. Less money but more moves being made...you never know, a major opportunity may open up, but we'll see. I'm just riding everything out right now...doing what I can and still applying for design jobs. Recently was turned down for the graphic designer position in Nashville with the Gaylord Opryland Hotels. They offer a lot of Quality in there business. I was really looking forward to that, it kinda made me mad that i didn't get it, real discouraging. I try hard and work hard but still can't get anything. Its been like 9-10 months since graduation, and I feel as though I am moving backwards. Its kinda been putting me in a position where I'm not necessarily losing my focus, but more of losing my assurance of where I wanna be. Atlanta was the original plan, but I have priorities and gotta handle what I gotta handle. An obstacle was thrown my way so that plan was postponed. Lately, I have been looking into a lot of graphic design jobs in the DMV area. I honestly wanna be back home but don't wanna deal with the cost of living. Most of the time I feel like giving up, but the people around me know me a lot better than that. I couldn't stop grindin even if I was paid to stop grindin lol. So no matter where my path leads me, I'm gonna work for whatever I get. And I'm gonna get to where ever the Lord takes me.
What's Poppin in the DMV?
Normally, I would speak on the homie Wale, Marky or Southeast Slim. But I gotta give it up to the homie Lyriciss. I been riding with him from the beginning, and he has been supporting me and my work as well for a long time. He has been showing a lot of progression on every track I hear. I was actually a lil late on listening to his previous mixtape "The Day Job", and normally I'm never known for being late when it comes to music (especially music back home in the DMV). Dude doing his thing though, I been crankin his tracks since he was known as Young L. He was featured on Version 3: Holla University of my website (www.hollafashions.com). So if yall get a chance, make sure you download "The Day Job". It is worth the listen. Keep doing the damn thing for the area homie, I got u all the way! And I haven't forgot bout those tees lol, I even put it on the blog!

Whats New...
I've been doing some design & photography work here and there lately but I just haven't been posting much. Guess I'll post a few when the time is right. But right now, I'm just chillin, getting myself a bit more organized and getting back on track. I got a lot of ideas in my head and I'm gonna post things the right way to keep that buzz going. You can expect to see a few more youtube vids from me in the future. Also been doing a lot of photography for the local parties at the clubs in the area, so shout out to FAME promotions & The Connect...Twon, Tay & Marlon grindin hard doing there thing throwing some of the biggest and best parties in the area.
Check the lil ad...a simple HF ad for a spot in my boy Tyrone's mini mag he will be releasing. (Brightwood Entertainment).
Version 6 of my website has briefly been in my thoughts. I'm not worried about the design of it, but I am more focused on the creative representation behind it, as well as the quality of the presentation. Something will come together sometime soon when I get time to sit down and plan it out. Not gonna speak too much on that because thats a good lil while from now.
I also was recently able to order some more photography equipment. Ordered the photo lighting (with umbrellas), black/white Backdrops with the stand and carrying case and a new Flash (yea i broke like 2 of them joints already lol). But I'm milking this wack job for what its worth. Using my checks to make more cash in the future. I'm looking to get another camera lens or a new cam, haven't decided just yet what I want to do first. But I've trained myself not to window shop, so I'll decided when the money is in my account.
Other than that, I just been looking to stay fresh lately. Back on my kick game and just picked up a new "W" fitted the other day. I'm gonna try to grab them in every color with the matching watches....throw some chucks in there too lol.
These are a couple I seen online that go ji-hard:
