My Photography and First Photo Exhibit

I've Been Taken Photos for 6 or 7 years now. I keep my work very personal because unlike painting words thru music photography is capturing one moment in time and freezing it for eternity. There is alot that goes into being a photographer. Not just knowing everything about a camera or being at every event to shoot but really feeling that connection with your subject or environment that drives you to take that one photo.

For me this inspiration comes here and there. At times I would find my self shooting for a few weeks then I'll take month off or even 2. some times 6. The inspiration to shoot really comes from life experience and people who I love capturing. Also having the time to shoot haha

Over the last 5 years I have captured my friends and family. At first I wud put my photos online but as my work began to feel way more personal due to the fact that I actually started knowing wat the hell I was doing I wanted to build a Body of work and memories instead of random photos on a blog.

Now I am starting to put together my first Photo Exhibition with Atif and I feel I can start too show you guys that side of my creative being more.

So I want to give you small peaks into my mind as a photographer. But really you will have to wait until the showing to see the big picture Figuratively and literally.

I've been shooting with Film for the past 4 years so all my past photos I'll show you guys will be developed and scanned Film. I recently bought a digi cam juss to document my everyday happenings but my heart still lies in Film.

I have photos from back when ALIEN was the main Reason for my City Visits.

Me touring with GFC and Mickey Factz. Even Behind the scenes from the Rockin N Rollin Video Shoot with The Cool Kids, Kids in the Hall etc.

I have photos of my UK/EUR Tour with Theophilus London. As well as photos from the year before from Video Shoots, To me Jesse Boykins III and Theophilus just chillin and vibing.
I also have my recent traveling Adventures this past year. (Australia)

Here are a Bunch of my Cameras I've shot with over the years. Some vintage and all Film besides the two small digi joints in the back. I thru them in for fun haha.

These are some film I've yet to develop. I have some more Medium Format film that I haven't developed in years so I know there will be some cool shit on those.
