WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: On the Road With DJ Dummy
4 FebWHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: Jason Mickle Photography
30 Jan
Hey Guys! Back in late Spring of 2012 I assisted fashion photographer, Jason Mickle, on a fashion story that recently appeared in West East Magazine. The story is loosely based around the crucifixion of Christ, and paintings depicting that story. For some reason it’s called Step Into Wonder (I’m not sure why) but the spread came out beautifully. I always learn so much when I work with Jason!
Here are a couple of pictures from the shoot, to see all of them you can visit here.
Photographer: Jason Mickle
Photo Assistant: Jai Nima Idowu
Stylist: Martin Waitt
Hair Stylist: Stanley DeVaughn
Make-Up Artist: Lauren Whitworth
WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: Jado Images
31 Dec
Wow 2012 is coming to an end! I have to admit it wasn’t a particularly great year for me, so much change and not enough sleep. There were a couple highlights though, one of them being, reaching my goal of getting a lot more photography work; this will transition into the launch of JADO Studios in 2013, but more of that come.
I wanted to leave you all with an excerpt from a feature that the website template site Wix.com did on me. They featured a couple of their users early this year, to discuss their work and how and why they use Wix. I’m not sure what ever happened with the featured user project, but here’s a sneak peek in what I had to say about JADO Images, marketing, and dating in January or February of 2012.
Happy New Year and look out for an updated JADO Images site in 2013!
WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN: The Dig’s ‘Midnight Flowers’
22 Jun
After my good friends, The Dig (thedigmusic.com), showed me the cover of their then, upcoming new album, Midnight Flowers, I had an idea of them at night, in the forest, with a car light. That idea and 2 cold spring nights turned into the above promotional picture for my talented friends. Continue reading
WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’?: Bob Marley Documentary
20 Feb
There’s been a lot a talk for a while now, about the Bob Marley documentary, Marley, Finally this spring on April 20th (fitting), the project by Academy Award-winning director, Kevin Macdonald, who did Last King of Scotland, comes out. Macdonald is known for his documentary work, so I’m excited to see what sort story/angle he’ll portray of the reggae legend. From the trailer, the project seems pretty engaging, and the beautiful shots of my homeland, Jamaica doesn’t hurt at all; it appears 4/20 is planned.

WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN?: inspirational souls
25 Dec
Somewhere between my quick business trip to Barbados with Dj Dummy and returning to the cold of NYC, I got a bit of my mojo back!
As my return to NYC tweet last night stated, I’m back on my grind:
…oddly enough in the process of looking for some info and reading the January 2012 issue of Self magazine, I ran into this video featuring A-trak, Curtis Kulig, Carlos Quirarte. The video is a piece on people grinding in NYC that went with HBO’s now cancelled show, How to Make it in America (I’m sad about the cancellation, but they needed better writers, and needed to stop showing the obvious and develop the not understood).
As i digress, this is a great piece to get motivated if you lost a little bit of your mojo.

Yelawolf I’ve decided to add a new category to What Gets You Movin, and that would be ‘Hotness’! Since I was about 14, I’ve had these mini crushes on people, a new person almost every other week. Nothing serious, just someone or sometimes a subject/entity that heightens my radar for the moment. I’m always sharing […]

When did you realize you weren’t white? Last week I got thrown into a conversation with someone about having to have ‘the talk,’ the you’re not white talk, with their 5 year-old nephew. I’ve never had ‘that talk,’ and from what I understand many kids of color don’t have that conversation, but it led to […]

WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN: photography
Marc Hom I like celebrity portrait photographers like Mark Seliger, but I’ve fallen in love with another Marc, Marc Hom. He’s a portrait photographer, particularly of celebrities, who captures a very natural element in his subjects and has a clean aesthetic in his images. I want my work to gain this feel, i’m officially inspired! […]
