Center For Ants.

Studio-19 by theworsteyes.

It's been a while since I lied to all you loyal readers, so I thought why start now? I just recently dropped around $250,000 in a studio downtown, some light kits and had renovations done for sky lights that I have full control over to naturally light objects from any direction with the use of mirrors. Very complicated. Imagine that last scene in that one Bruce Lee movie. Here's a coffee bean I shot for Folgers, Starbucks, Gevalia, Maxwell, Illy and bunch of others (that can afford me). Here's a little hint, all the coffee brands use the same one coffee bean in all their pictures. They just copy, paste, rotate. So next time you're in the coffee aisle, have yourself a look.

Yesterday.

This is a simple and modest blog post about my day yesterday. It started out with my girlfriend offering me to take her car to go and discuss some business things at another friend's house. The meeting was over and all was well until I hopped in the car and realized the battery was dead. My friend Arnold and I made a few calls until two of his friends came within minutes to help me out. When the first failed, the second one tried. So it's not the battery I say and now I'm starting to freak out because it's not my car. But the car of a former Marine with a mighty gun collection.

Then minutes later, more backup came in two good friends of mine. Ian, the roommate and DP and Charlie the gaffer. I felt relieved because they can usually fix things on a film set so they must know how to fix a mere automobile. They tinkered. Googled. And tinkered some more. A few hours since since the whole mess started the truck would start again. As we turned the corner to my girlfriends house, I saw Ruthie, Ian's girlfriend riding her bike to provide any further assistance. The cavalry had arrived, in a little girl on a bicycle.

I felt like I was a lost little boy being returned to his worried Mother's house on horseback by a group of magnificent seven. When everything started to crumble, I asked, "Why me?" What have I done to deserve this? I looked into myself and back on recent events where I acted less than what I would consider moral. And when I realized this, things seem to fix itself. I'm not putting this all on some divine being that fixed my car, Ian and Charlie did, but rather perhaps something bigger than us planned these events series of events to make me a better person and realize the good people around me.

Maybe it's just my character to make up a story of like this. Or maybe this never happened at all because I lie a lot on this blog. Who knows?

Black Girls-1 by theworsteyes.

A few days ago, I somehow got coaxed to shoot a video for my friend's band. This is the result in the night. Black Girls is a band from Richmond half Black Star half Spice Girls. Their name at least is that. Anyways check out this video I did in like ten seconds. Mad skills.

Millz.

Millz-2 by theworsteyes.

Millz is a hip hop artist that I'm currently working with in Richmond. He's in the process of coming out with a new mixtape in conjunction with the SHHO Brand Book. I'm not one to pitch how great someone is so I'll just let him show you. But I'm not one to spoil surprises so I'll just wait until we are finished with this project.
