WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: A Conversation Between Angelou & Chappelle

It’s been awhiiiiiile! Let’s try this again, shall we?

A couple of weeks ago the world lost a prolific, inspirational, and dynamic female writer, Maya Angelou. Also over the last couple of weeks, a great comedic writer has been back on the news due to an unprecedented 2 week sold-out run at Rockefeller Center, Dave Chappelle. Here is a snippet of a conversation between what would seem to be 2 polar opposites, yet it’s such a beautiful, eye-opening conversation. Check it out!

RIP phenomenal Maya Angelou. Glad to see you back Dave Chappelle.

WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: Work It

20 Dec

All this week I’ve had ‘work, it, work it’ stuck in my head while doing an intergalactic sexy gig. This is all due to the lyrical stylings of Israeli female rapper Adi Ulmansky and the killer visuals by my homie, Cult of Dang. The video,” Work It,” premiered on VICE’s Noisey music channel earlier this week and is gaining a lot buzz.

Check out the video and I guarantee the song will be stuck in your head. Also make sure to check out more incredible illustrations by Cult of Dang.

WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: GossYp and Aglit Italy

28 Nov

I’m always looking for people, things, videos…anything, that inspires me. Inspiration creatively, visually, mentally, spiritually, just something that moves me. I’ve been fortunate to not only meet, but sometimes shoot many who move me in some way. Because of this, I’m starting a new interview series where we get a chance to speak with some of these people who have moved me in some way and see what they have going on.

For the 1st interview post, I spoke with female music duo, GossYp. I’ve had the pleasure of shooting these beautiful sisters, Adina and Amina, a few time this year. Not only are these Brooklyn born, Long Island-bred girls, chill, down to earth, and nice, they are Continue reading →

WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: Happy

22 Nov

Have you checked out the dopeness that is Pharrell’s 24-hour music video Happy?As an image maker this video is over-the-top inspiring. The 4 minute song plays continuously, as we watch Pharrell, as well as kids, women, men, and dancers, jam along to the song, to what are staged regular moments. Shot in a continuous, one camera format, the video is smart, innovate, fun…and makes me Continue reading →

WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: GoldieBlox Commercial

21 Nov

Love this video for GoldieBox! The original had a twist to the Beastie Boys’ “Girls,” as the theme music, but this is still great. Let’s hope this is inspires young girls more than that reality TV/being entertainers rubbish.

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.
