After picking up my Canon RF 85mm f/2 MACRO IS STM, I was eager to get a subject in front of my camera so I hit a friend who lives a few blocks away and is always down to shoot, my good friend Sasa Juste. I have to admit I was shocked at the quality of the video when matched up with the EOS R. Coming from the Canon 7D MKII the quality is significant and with the image stabilization of the RF 85MM, it makes handheld shoot unreal. Imagine if I upgrade to the R5 or R6!
The Edit button is cool, but Super Follows, could change the way we (Content Creators) use Twitter forever!
I know everyone is clamping around Elon Musks’ joining the Twitter board and the potential of a edit button being rolled out after year's of begging…However a few weeks ago I was gifted another one of Twitter’s latest features. I present to you Super Follows the latest in monetization tools for creators on the microblogging platform. Super Follows allow for Creators to put content behind a paywall, and grant exclusive access to subscribers, similar to a patreon or onlyfans. I am definitely excited to get my hands on the feature and figure out how to integrate it into my workflow.
Now back during my early Twitter Spaces Beta testing days, one of the first suggestions I made was that if Twitter truly wanted to bring more creators to the platform they need to monetize. Many creators who have become accustomed to generating income from their content can't see themselves giving away the greatest assets with out some sort of monetary gain. The first tool implemented by Twitter was the tipping feature, which simply provides a links to 3rd party apps, which is no different then putting your cash app tag into your bio. But adding this paywall definitely changes the game and how we look at Twitter as a platform for creators forever.

NYFW is back in New York City. 2022 marks my third consecutive year covering shooting Street style and I honestly say though I’m not big on fashion, I do love the energy around New York Fashion Week. What started out as a way for me to practice my portraiture has now become a catalyst for peers respecting my eye and companies looking to pay me to shoot their events and artist wanting to jump in front of my lens.

My First time attending Pride NYC Weekend 2021
I attended my first Pride this year in New York City. I didn’t get the full experience being the official Pride march was a “virtual” event, however, i did get to cover several events over the weekend. Protests and gatherings in the city that i feel very much the true spirit of Pride as the community still fights for rights and respect throughout the world.
End Of the Weak 2x World Champion, Osyris Antham continues to be mentioned in the same realm as Hip-hop's legends by Lupe Fiasco.
For those of you who have followed me and my journey in the NYC art scene, you know I always credit Nasiyr, better known as Osyris Antham, for me even becoming a member of Legendary Cyphers and becoming acquainted with most of the artist that I know today. From the first time I heard him rap at Nicholas Brooklyn, a small A variety shop, I immediately recognised his talent. I bring this up because recently well respected Emcee and Grammy-nominated lyricist has championed Osyris as one of the best Emcee in the world.
