Eat the Cake: Q-Tip

About Me

I am a photographer, writer and social scientist...this is my forum for creative expression. I am using this blog to document my days and nights in the city that never sleeps...all the photographs, unless otherwise credited, have been shot by yours truly. If I offend you...good...I hope you begin to think more critically about the world in which we live. I am here to discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly...and there is a whole lotta ugly out there!!! If you have a problem with anything that I write or photograph, let me know. It will not change my opinion but I appreciate and welcome discourse. One little bit of advice...don't do stupid things and let me photograph you...it will turn up on my blog.

Thanks.

Suemyra Birthday party -- ft...Q-Tip and Mick Jagger

Peace.
Last week I went to my homegirl Suemyra's birthday party at Santos party House (I got mad lost trying to get there). Once at the venue, I haggled my way through the line, found Suemyra and Shahindra and got my party on.
On the turntables for the night - Rich Medina and Q-Tip. I missed Rich Medina's set (I got to the spot around 1:30 am), but I caught Q- Tip and a special appearance by Mick Jagger.

Enjoy the photos.

Fun people outside of the club.
Photograph the photographer.

What's up Marina Heintze -- nice tattoos

My man Osclops -- he throws the dope a$$ 1992 parties in NYC. I did not know that dude could dance...he was killing it!!!

It's a battle!!!

Happy birthday Suemyra.

This guy was partying -- something of note: they don't sell cups that size in the club...where did it come from?

XXL Party for Datwon Thomas

Last Thursday we (my girlfriend and I) attended a party for Datwon Thomas in honor of his new position as Editor-in-Chief of XXl Magazine and to celebrate his birthday. The event was sponsored by Hennessy and was hosted in the Penthouse Suite of the Rivington Hotel. Free drinks, one of the dopest views of city imaginable, and did I mention free Hennessy?!!

Attendees ranged from broke freelance photographers to the likes of Video Vixens.
