...the response to the photo set has been overwhelming, first and foremost want to thank @realcoleworld@dreamville@kingofqueenz25 and @feltonamus for having me on set. Safe to say this is a huge milestone in my photography career not only because I got to shoot the Best Rapper Alive but because I was on set with friends of over 10 years and seeing their growth was a huge inspiration and driving force for me. Not many people know this but @realcoleworld and @kingofqueenz25 attended St. John’s together and even back then they had the talent and the vision, I remember the phone call @kingofqueenz25 gave @gharry1142 telling us that @realcoleworld got signed and it was at that very moment I knew that achieving your dreams was actually possible. From that day forth I dedicated myself to my craft; fast forward I’m shooting my friend as he once again solidifies himself as an exemplary talent and guiding light in this music space. I want to also shout out everyone that’s been supporting my career thus far, I may not say thank you enough but know that I’m eternally grateful for the constant support, DMs and words of encouragement when things aren’t so sunny. Best believe this is only the beginning and now we continue to elevate ourselves and our community.

I’m thankful for the constant support from you guys on here and in IRL, it really helps to know that people believe in you and your work so again thank y’all!

40.
This chapter has been a reminder of two things: how much I’ve learned, and how much I still don’t know.
What stood out most this month was the energy. The energy I’ve poured into people over the years; family, friends, relationships, collaborators being returned in a real way.
Being in a room with people from different eras of my life… that’s means something to me man 😭. Each of you reflects a different version of me, a different chapter, a different evolution.
Life moves fast. People drift. Time gets away from us.
So to see so many of you show up, take time out of your lives, and share space with me it meant more than you know.
Love to everyone near and far.
Grateful you’ve been part of the journey, and even more grateful you’ve stayed.
Cheers to another 40.
Bless.

I was invited to the Lighthouse Opening Festival to document my experience and see their new Brooklyn campus up close.
It’s refreshing to walk into a space intentionally built for the creative community.
Curious to see how creators make this place their own in the months ahead.
Immersed in Céleste Boursier-Mougenot’s clinamen at Bourse de Commerce; ceramic bowls drifting across water, creating a living symphony under the dome. A meditation on sound, time, and chance, where every moment feels suspended.
