this one is rly cool and important to me bc it represents a turning point in the mood of my work. prior to this shoot, i felt very stuck in a dark and negative creative space and i was constantly drawing from negative feelings to create.
so it felt very freeing to tap into more of a warm sensuality that portrayed a more joyful aspect of love. still one of my faves to this day and the day i did this shoot is a very fond memory for me π₯Ή
took a day to shoot some cool photos with my friends for my new album!
gonna use them for promo and the cover and stuff but i really wanted to share this shot.
Itβs my favorite of the bunch but the lighting and pose and fisheye lens we used gives it such a cool vibe and im in love with it.
Feels like some Big Brother shit or something idk.
listen carefully when i tell you this.. you have the right of way in just about every situation. it is the car driver's responsibility to not hit people. now i'm not condoning jumping into traffic here. you should still make responsible decisions as a pedestrian.
BUT
you must feel empowered to exercise your right of way.
is a car trying to roll thru a stop sign while you're crossing and attempting to cut you off? keep walking. get in their way and make them slow down. look directly at them thru the windshield. mouth (or shout) the words "thank you" and smile at them without breaking eye contact and without breaking your stride. bonus points for slowing down your pace and making them wait even longer.
this is my daily retaliation against car-centric infrastructure. make them think, at least for one single moment, about their mistake and remind them that roads are for people before they are for cars. always.
being hot, hanging out with hot people, harnessing the power of hotness. when you and your girls are hot, ur literally unstoppable.
if ur reading this ur probably hot too so try it out!
frankly, arugula is just that girl and i use it all the time when i need to add leaves to my diet. also consider a nice arugula salad with parmesan, black pepper, olive oil, a white vinaigrette, and even sardines if you're feelin crazy ;)
