My boy @thesaintrene just dropped his new single and my insanely talented bother @harleylyonmusic produced this track so so proud of both of you! It’s out now on Spotify “Be My Luver By Saint Rene” 📸 by 🙋🏻♂️, all photos shot with @kodak Portra 400. Lab @thatonephotolab
This project will always have a place in my heart. Not only did I get to work with close friends on a talented hard-working team but it was the first time I got to shoot film.
Jarrod and I started working on this almost 2 years ago throwing around ideas, trying to find what best-matched picture. We landed on old street photography in new york city that Stanley Kubrick had taken while he worked at Look magazine.
The 16mm film format was perfect that @kodak_shootfilm provides. the way that color and depth are rendered to create texture and beauty gave so much life to the project.
This is our baby and im so excited it's finally out in the world.

Some beauty to remember in the midst of chaos . - Despite the uncertainty that surrounds us, we are given a gift of time. For many of us, the books we want to finish, the scripts we want to write, the music that we want to play, the skill we want to learn, and the pome that sat untouched in our minds for so long are now given a place to see the light of day. Cuz hell what else are you going to do? - For the time in our lives, FOMO is dead. Let’s be real whatever you decide to do in your home, there is literally NOTHING you could be doing better than that one thing. opportunity cost is significantly reduced giving peace of mind. If your work, create, chill or love your doing a pretty dame good job of time management. :P - If you feel like your not using your time well, You’re not working, and you have no motivation to finish anything, guess what? Your lazy ass is actually saving the world by sitting on your couch and watching Netflix, so take solace in that. - We have never seen the sky so clear or the streets so quiet in LA. It’s not often that we get to take a communal breath to see the beauty around us. - We can all connect with the people that we have been thinking about in the back of our minds for so long, old friends can reconnect though FaceTime. - For every time you said “I’m going to work on my self”, “I am going to get better” we now have some quiet which will start revealing the parts of our souls we’re can’t hear cry out because we are normally busy with the noise. - Most importantly, God is the same now as he was before and always will be. Peace is found through him and the holy spirit. Its hard to remember that sometimes especially when our surroundings altar from the norm.
Right now we are in a sudden change, for most of us this will be a scary thing because when we come out of our caves things may be somewhat different from what we left. There is a potential danger for us and our loved ones, and alos financial pressure. Learning to emotionally cross a bridge once we know the bridge is there rather than fear a place that could very possibly never come is hard but we can learn it though patience and the grace of God. ❤️ya fam 🙏
