New New

I finally got my hair done for the first time in three years. Turning Heads in Harlem definitely took care of my locs. I went in there looking like a wild woman came out looking like a nubian princess, and quite frankly isn't that what we all want when we go to the salon? Well it is for me! I also went to the screening of Death in the Family a short film produced by my friend Zainab Ali. At the end of the film I got to see my name in the credits as production assistant. I was responsible for the film's Facebook page! Lastly, for new careers I also will be DJing at The Lantern Inn in Wassaic, NY. After successfully Djing a 50th birthday party there they welcomed me back to DJ there monthly. I am still in shock of how lucky I am to be able to be apart of an amazing film and bring some night life to the local community! Saturday, March 31 is my first night spinning, mark your calendars and stay posted for more info!

Old and New

I finally got some B&W film rolls developed. One roll is from my sophomore year when I went to visit my cousin Louisa in San Francisco and the second is from this past fall. I love shooting with B&W even though it costs a pretty penny to get them developed I am always super exited to see how a roll comes out.  Some of the photos from these two rolls are below.

Easter Inspirations

Happy Easter! I am jealous of all the people waking up to candy today. I am spending my Easter at school this year. Though I miss spending this day with family its been kinda fun just a handful of cool people on a empty campus. But I wanted to post some photography and film. For my digital photography class I am doing a portfolio on Bad Girls. I am trying to explore what constitutes as bad behavior for women or is that behavior actually empowering. Below is some work that I hope yo channel in my own photography. I discovered a American photographer Alex Prager through websites on Cindy Sherman. Her photos are mostly 60s portraits of women recreated since most of her work is very recent. Then also below is a video by Marc Gómez del Mora a cinematographer from Barcelona, which I found on a friends blog.
