The Mday DVD !!! (My Directorial Debut)







































"A few months ago a candle factory burned down. Everyone just stood around it and sang Happy Birthday."
The 25th birthday was amazing. From Thursday to Monday. Thanks for everyone who showed love that weekend. From Entourage on Thursday through the All Pink on the private charter Sunday. We painted the city Pink. See You Next Year.
Check out my special Birthday present from Issa Bolden... tell me if you see yourself ---> www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqs17DGwUj8
Now.... to the feature presentation ..

Endless nights, endless weeks of editing, hours and hours and days and days of footage. All minajed into 45 minutes. Tedius work, yes. Time consuming, yes. I underestimated, yes. But she is done and well worth every second I spent on her. My directorial debut.... The Mday Weekend DVD. Produced and Directed from the heart. Take it light...its like watching a really dope home video... just for fun. Enjoy :) www.vimeo.com/16064330

Behind the Lens: Dexter Cohen IEI Shoot









"Photography is an art of observation. It has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them."

Recently awarded "2010's Best Fashion Photographer" at the VA Fashion Awards. What can I say about Dexter D. Cohen the photographer ?? I mean his work pretty much speaks for itself.... maybe in a foreign language, but it speaks...LOUDLY. His competition in VA is obsolete. It was a honor and truly inspiring to work with Dexter on a recent shoot. Again, his craft speaks for itself. Next to Dex I played merely a breakthrough supporting role. :) For the entire spread visit my page at www.modelmayhem/stilldiaries or on the handy FB page. Visit Dexter on model mayhem, facebook, or twitter.

I've been weerkinn people!!!



"There are two types of people in this world.
Those who come in a room and say "WELL, HERE I AM!!" and those who come in and say "Ah, there you are"
Which are you?"


Day 29. Currently focusing on making a life, not just a living. Months have passed since the last time we met. I've missed you.... the love is still the same though. Career is taking precedent over all else. Personal life is taking a toll. But those who know....understand. I've been weerkkin people. Anticipation, anxiousness, excitement....even fear has come to visit. Atlanta on a milli in 11 days. Some support....some not so much... good thing we don't care right? Consider this a warning to ALL dreambashers and naysayers .... "PERSON WHO SAYS IT CANNOT BE DONE MUST NOT INTERRUPT PERSON ALREADY DOING IT" Continue following the journey....

Keep Dreaming,
