I’m known for my journalism and street photography so of course, I’ll be shooting the real show, the style of today’s bloggers, models and designers who inspire what eventually hits the runway.
I’ll be updating this blog post throught out the week so check back for more shots .

NO PANTS SUBWAY RIDE 2020 NYC
Every year hundreds of New Yorkers participate in the “No Pants Subway Ride Prank”, organized by the local organization Improv Everywhere. The event which originally started out with just 7 New Yorkers is now a global. The 2020 No Pants Subway Ride Pranks has gone international including the proper English translation of “No Trousers Tube Ride” for our friends across the pond. Though I’ve been in NYC for the last 20+ years this is my first time attending the event. (And no i didn’t go pantsless. lol)
Every year hundreds of New Yorkers participate in the “No Pants Subway Ride Prank”, organized by the local organization Improv Everywhere.

The 2020 No Pants Subway Ride Pranks has spread all over the world including the proper English translation of “No Trousers Tube Ride” for our friends across the pond. Though I’ve been in NYC for the last 20+ years this is my first time attending the event. (And no i didn’t go pantsless. lol)
The attendees got a blessing this year, given its usually below 30 degrees. This winter we’ve been hit with some unbelievably warm weather. So the pantsless straphangers got to shower of the best undergarments in almost 70-degree weather. I guess this might be the warmest day in the event’s history. The event was interesting, to say the least with lots of weird guys taking cellphone pics from very questionable low angles 🤔, but i can say its overall great. Checkout out my photoset below from this year’s prank.
Meanwhile in NYC ...

Lupe Fiasco blesses EOW with an effortless freestyle!
Lupe Fiasco was present during one of the biggest events in the NYC hiphop scene. Lupe lent his ear to the End of the Weak U.S. finals as a judge, sending one Emcee to Belgium to compete with other National finalist
Lupe Fiasco was present during one of the biggest events in the NYC hiphop scene. Lupe lent his ear to the End of the Weak U.S. finals as a judge, sending one Emcee to Belgium to compete with other National finalist. But before the hosts would reveal who the panel of judges (which included the likes of Poisen Pen, Mickey Factz) declared winner, they pleaded for some bars from the Chicago lyricist! Luckily for us Lupe was feeling generous. Lol
AFROPUNK BROOKLYN FESTIVAL 2019
So here we go my photos from AfroPunk Brooklyn are finished. Between work and sleep it took me almost 4 days to sift through and edit over 500 pics, but I'm am finished. 🙌🏾 Not even gonna front I had the most fun this year than last two AfroPunk events! Plus my portrait photography has improved dramatically. There was a little run in with AfroPunk’s security detail that I still considering if j want to address or not. I may go live and let y'all know exactly what happened.

I may go live onedayband let y'all know exactly what happened. But I just hope y'all enjoy the pictures I'm going to figure out how I'm going to keep this momentum going as summer closes out. I think the next big event coming up is the Labor Day Parade so stay tuned for that. I think I might have to start hitting the local art scene again.
Spike Lee throws Brooklyn Block Party celebrating 30th anniversary of Iconic film ”Do The Right Thing”
Do The Right Thing Way, became official back in July of 2015 and is the official location for Spike Lee's annual Block Party! Spike makes it a point to return to the very location where he filmed the thought-provoking story some 30 years ago. DTRT like so many of Spike’s other films tells the story of the Brooklynites and the Greater Black Community.
