Had a chance to sit down and chop it up with Benji, vocalist for the Mighty Skindred...wicked cool, he's the kinda cat you could rap music with for hours...

Dred's first album "Babylon" has some of the greatest "driving..singing in the shower..dancing around the crib..feel good music" that's dropped in the past 10 years..."Selector", "Set it Off" etc etc etc...

"Roots Rock Riot" Skindred's newest album is just as killer...Brilliant band, go and check em' out...

Below, are a few exclusive photos from my shoot with Benji and Skindred..

More pics of The Knux...For this batch I used illford 400, pushed a stop, shooting through my Canon EOS-1, my choice of glass the EF 50mm 1:1.4 lens...

My homie's in STEMM are using one of my pics for a tour poster...dig

NAS @ RIT...Initially it looked I would have some time to shoot with him but that got 86'd @ the last minute, so I had to settle for live pics...his schedule was tight, I heard dude rolled from the airport to the campus, bounced out of his car and on stage, after his set he went straight to the whip and back to the airport... audi...Green Lantern originally from the 585 held it down on the wheels of steel...below are a few pics from NAS...

Al and Krispy of The Knux are down for anything, I really dig that about those cats.

No bullshit attitudes, very laid back chill bruthas.

The Knux rider contains:

1) Water
2) A Bible (RIT one of the most expensive "$40,000 yearly" prestigious learning institutions in the country didn't have the real deal Holy Bible, so for my shoot we used "The Story of God")
3) 1 Box of Lifestyles or Rough Rider condoms (ribbed)
4) M&M's (only green, the rest need to be removed)

Let the fun begin!

It's super cold in NY, todays high is supposed to be 10 degrees...

Recently, I've had a few magazines ask for a look at some of my older stock photos...while pulling negatives and scrolling through portfolios I added some images I thought you would dig to this blog...most of these pics have never been published...
