Sonny Redz/Gritty Gang…

Last year I shot a video with Baltimore rapper, Sonny Redz, and recently, thanks to a spot on World Star Hiphop, the video racked up over 200K views in a couple days. This past Wednesday, Sonny opened for Ghostface Killah and I shot the show for Sonny. Also pictured is Ogun, Aces High, and Play Boi.

Thoughts on Inspiration…

“Inspiration is for amateurs — the rest of us just show up and get to work. And the belief that things will grow out of the activity itself and that you will — through work — bump into other possibilities and kick open other doors that you would never have dreamt of if you were just sitting around looking for a great ‘art ida.’ And the belief that process, in a sense, is liberating and that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every day. Today, you know what you’ll do, you could be doing what you were doing yesterday, and tomorrow you are gonna do what you didid today, and at least for a certain period of time you can just work. If you hang in there, you will get somewhere.” - Chuck Close via Inside the Painter’s Studio

The National Archives will be running and exhibit from March 8th, 2012 through September 8th 2013 featuring 90 images from the Documerican Project. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), from 1971-77, commissioned freelance photographers to capture images relating to environmental problems, EPA activities, and everyday life in the 1970s as part of the Documerica Project. More than 5,000 photographs from the series have been digitized. Photographers included David Allan Harvey, Danny Lyon and Jack Corn to name a few.
