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.

Late February fun...Amanda Lepore, Busta Rhymes, T - Weed and more...

Here are some photos from some events that I went to in the past week. Enjoy.

Early in the week, I had a chance to stop by the King Magazine 50th issue party and it was pretty nuts; live performances by Busta Rhymes and Ron Brownz, an appearance by reality star - T Weed and a bunch of random sightings...

Maino.


Charles Anthony and friends.


Busta Rhymes.


This was the highlight of the night...I ran into T Weed, one of the contestants on the VH -1 television show, I love Money 2 (and he was with one of the chicks from the Paris Hilton show).




yep...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Friday night, I headed up to Mr. Blacks to check out Amanda Lepore DJ with Cazwell. On the way to the club, I saw this old and toothless dude in the train station teaching some kids, who turned out to be students at Juliard, how to play violin. It was one of the coolest things that I have seen in a while.







Ok...If you do not know who Amanda Lepore is, you have a lot of research to do...








Nice outfit.




On the way home, I played around with some slow shutter shots...Peace



23rd and 7th ave...Eat the Cake NYC.

Neyo Birthday Party at The Whiskey

Wednesday night was pretty cool...I ended up at Neyo's birthday party at the Whiskey in Times Square. The front door was hectic - even some of the Def Jam executive staff could not get in. A number of celebs made appearances, including, Vivica A. Fox, Neyo, Jon B, Busta Rhymes.

D - Nice was on the turntables for most of the night.


The event was sponsored by Hennessy - Good look!!!


I shot some red carpet stuff...Busta was the man!!!


Spliff kept talking about A-rab money...get it.


Jon B.
His wife ran into difficulty with the event staff...so both she and Jon B made swift departures.


106 & Park's Terrence J.


The world reknown stylist - V-, Dolicia Bryan (right) and friend.


106 & Park's Rocsi.


A young lady from the UK - STOP GETTING ON MY TITS!!! (ask somebody from the UK what this means)


Back inside the party - nice outfit.


OK...this was when the night went into overdrive. I was in the unisex bathroom and I noticed all these reflective surfaces...so I started shooting some stuff. Suddenly a bunch of the dancers from the club walked in the bathroom and wanted me to take pictures of them...
I obliged.
Check the slide show - there are a lot more!!!




...and then Busta Rhymes walked in. I have tried to shoot Busta before, and he was not always down...well this time he was definitely down!!! He made me pay him 5 bucks - imagine that. I paid 5 bucks to do a photo shoot with Busta Rhymes and five models in the bathroom of the Whiskey during Neyo's birthday party - that s*it is priceless!!!





My man Jean Alerte...
After this photo, I was promptly asked to leave the venue. I guess they did want me taking photos...whatever...


After finishing my drink and exiting the venue I ran into this 6 foot 2 tranny wearing a cop uniform...THIS IS NOT A WOMAN!!!





YEP!!

Chambord Event - hosted by Jennifer Sbranti (hostess with the mostess)

On September 30, I shot an event for Manhattan Magazine and Chambord hosted by Jennifer Sbranti - the Hostess with the Mostess. The space was beautiful, Mrs. Sbranti was amazing, and the drinks were tasty...another good night.
