History will never forget.
To Live & Die in LA

Always a pleasure to capture love in its forever form.

From the archives, I’ve kept this photograph tucked away; because I knew one day this moment would come and when that day did, I wanted the world to remember him this way.
I was fortunate enough to capture the great Jesse Jackson in 2022, his legacy will forever live on.z
Jesse Jackson,
Los Angeles, 2022.
Rest in Power.

2025,
a year of returning to myself again; the end of an era.
I took my time, I’m learning to take my time.
the slow mornings, that the world craves, are apart of my daily life now.
Altadena burned down, it snowed in Alabama, we lost Luis Patrick, my granny turned 90, my best friend got married, me and my brothers worked EDC in Vegas, my day one model and I created another classic maternity shoot, I fell in love again, I go heartbroken again, I grew, I cried, I healed, and I scuba dived.
I’m not sure what’s in store for 2026; but i do know I’m ready to receive it like I never have before.
2025 was a year of incredible lessons, I won’t say losses because nothing is truly lost.
So I’m going to take a step back for a while; but hold on to these for a season.
I’ll be back after a while.
Sincerely, Menyelek.
