on this past sunday, thanks to barak obama, mike (ain't no nigga like the one i got!) and i went to see jay-z perform for FREEEEEEEEE!


it actually managed to stop raining for a few hours, so we could enjoy the concert.



mike & i before the show.



at the show...



wyclef came out and performed for a while.



even my baby daddy pitbull made an appearance!



and then the man of the hour finally took the stage!











the concert was AMAZING. jay-z did songs from almost all his albums and just put on a fantastic show. there's nothing like hearing him do his trademark "UH UH UH" noises IN THE FLESH. there's nothing like throwin' up the HOVA diamond in front of HOV himself! jay-z killed it AND I GOT TO SEE IT ALL FOR FREEEEEE. HELL YEAH! <3

friday night was my first ever group gallery show, "40oz CREEPS & PEEPS" at gallery 138 here in miami. it's a show comprised of mostly graffiti artists, showing off their art work. being that graffiti is one of my favorite subjects to photograph, my friend CRES asked me to participate. the gallery had a nice turnout and seeing my photographs up on the wall like that gave me a huge sense of accomplishment and validation. i am proud of myself!

these are the four pieces i have in the show:












now that this is over, i can concentrate on the show i have in may! :D
