Daddy Yankee & Puerto Rico!!!
































What can't I say about this little island in the Carribean...I t has everything. From the most beautiful beaches that are seen on postcards around the world, some of the most gorgeous women that I have seen in my life, and a way of life in which every single person I met was sincere, and had an honest appreciation for life! Everyone there seemed to love being alive, no matter their circumstances. Let me not forget to mention the food...I have one word for anyone travelling to Puerto Rico, "MOFONGO". It you think you can handle this local flavor, be my guest, you will not regret it!

I was fortunate enough to get to visit some of the rougher neighborhoods in Puerto Rico called Barillos. Not a place any tourist should venture into on a whim, but with Daddy Yankee as our guide, we found where the heart of Puerto Rico lives. It is simply amazing how much life and culture is packed onto this 300 square mile island. On a map it seems little more than a dot, but the small island has more than enough to fill a large appetite. From Old San Jaun, to COCO Resort, to Villa Kennedy; we experienced so much, and yet there was still so much more to see. Here are just a few selected pics from my recent trip out there with photographer Kevin Ou, Luis Sanchez and myself.

Urban Underground @ The Airliner











What going on world? On Friday the 7th of this month I was witness to an emceeing spectacle unlike any other. Blessed by performaces from WORD UP, CADALACK, KONSPET, BROTHAZ BENT, and the house emcee always killing it POW SHADOWS. IF anyone out there is tired is wasting their Friday nights away, I suggest checking out this spot with the realest of LA's underground Hip-Hop. Just take a look at these pics and you'll see what I mean...

URB :: Perez Hilton Release Party!












So I get an email from URB magazine yesterday, from the talented Leila, to see if I was available to shoot this release party. Well I just happen to be available that evening and was I stoked! The event was held at the VICE bar in Hollywood. The small venue was packed and crawling young men and women. The night ended up being super fun and being the event photographer gave me the right to talk to everyone that night...and I did! These here are just a few of the pics from the night...and word to the wise, if URB throws an event...GO!!!
