JANUARY 25TH 2014...LO GOOSE ON THE DEUCE 2014

You know the saying....

ALL THE WORLDS A STAGE....Well, I guess one of the biggest 'stages' of them all, is Time Square. aka 'THE DEUCE' as in forty-deuce as in 42nd street. This past Saturday, January 25th 2014, the production on this stage was the 5th annual, LO GOOSE ON THE DEUCE event. The stars of the show, who else, them damn polo kids....LOL... thats probably what tourists and on-lookers were saying. Them 'damn polo kids' are the one and only LO LIFES... and not just Lo Lifes, but Polo enthusiasts, Lo collectors, Lo rockers, Lo watchers, Hell, even the magazine XXL was out there catching a few flicks of the event. In this production, no real scenes, choruses, intermissions. Just Lo Lifes, and famiLLy, AYAK, & RLPC, just hanging out, having a good time, meeting, greeting and taking pics,trying to stay warm, and looking fly while doing so. Would you believe I still have yet to make one? however, my collection of pictures that I get from social media, and the internet, one would think I was there every year...Next year...definitely

My photographers (those talented FRIENDS OF MINE)

Sooooooo

When you have friends that are into the same things that you are into, its a good thing. You know, music, fashion, art, etc. When you have friends that are very artistic, like yourself, it makes you wanna A-step your game up or B-Get down with what they are doing. I have always been into art, visual, graff, comics, photography, etc. I also have a few friends, that are into the same things. It seems whether, they draw, do music, paint, direct videos, they have picked up photography as another form of their visual expression.


A dude I call a good, smart friend, who I've known from the artistic world as well as the Lo Rocking world, TTK, has picked up the camera, and got busy, revealing to me a photoshoot he has done with Gabrielle Royal for the site www.dapperq.com in the 7 days of dapper series ( http://www.dapperq.com/2014/01/seven-days-of-dapper-gabrielle-royal/) Very good I must say. When I told him, I was thinking bout doing photography but I have a lil point & shoot digicam, he explained to me, that its ALL about the PERSON behind the camera...not the 'machine'..nice to know. You can also catch more of his work at www.artbyttk.com and also read his monthly column in frank151.com . I am also influenced by my mentor, fellow Lo rocker and Original Lo Life, Hazuno (brownsville) HAZ-LO, who has an array of talent using tools such as blackbooks, markers, and a camera...Over the years, he has captured plenty of visual masterpieces, as well as chronicled plenty of LO LIFE events, via his lens. My dude, R H BLESS, also, a good friend, whom I met, while working for the State some years ago, always was musically gifted, putting out countless material under his own imprint BLOCK EXCHANGE, has stepped behind the camera, as a video director and as an upcoming photographer. Man wears many hats. To find their works, you can google em, or go to your local facebook, and with the images you are allowed to see, as a non-friend, trust, you will be impressed. I can't continue to talk about photographers without mentioning my boy Carl Tuitt other wise known as Chappa Roots, and his Modern Photographix photography company/magazine.


While scrolling through the internet, I also stumbled upon a couple of people whose work I enjoy. One being Aston Watson of ASTONishing photos, and the other being Andrew Fennell. The work they do, and the way they capture the female body...O M G...makes every nasty thought turn into a work of art right in front of your eyes
If you don't beleive me, here are samples of my peoples work, as well as the ones who I admire.

MAN O MAN, I CANT WAIT TO GET MY CAMERA ....

FACE OFF- No mountains in the hood, but WE SET THE TRENDS

Lets keep in mind that it Is Winter. So that means that it do tend to get COLD. However, Jack Frost, "The Hawk" and his son are out there full blast, and their victims are the too cute chicks who decide to wear a lil leather jacket and no hat, while standing at the bus stop at 3am...or ANY AM hour. I was lucky to escape the Snow of NYC, by relocating down south some years ago, but I damn sure didn't Escape the COLD!!! brrrrrr...its Brick city...Time for me to go into my trunk and pull out my 'Face. Now, by 'Face, I mean, a coat by the popular brand THE NORTH FACE. I almost said outerwear brand, but TNF do so much more. I've seen tee shirts, bookbags, pocketbooks and purses..boots, you name it.


I happen to own a North Face parka, or as we call it, the Big Snorkel. I also own a Steep Tech coat. Very stylish. Very fly. Not as warm, and not as cumbersome as the snorkel, which I dubbed, "The Big Bear". I do find that since I drive more, and stand at bus stops less, I have no real need for the snorkel, but the steep tech, comes out to play on just an occasion like this.


One day, while in a TNF store in the mall, I got into a conversation with the black sales clerk in the store. He inquired about my high top beef & broccolis aka the Gore tex timbs, and as we both agreed that certain gear can't be found down here, "you have to go uptop" (His words, not Mine) we went into the discussion about the Steep Tech jackets, which actually made me walk in the store. With his eyes lowered, and the shame in his voice, he told me (on da low) that TNF don't really make or plan to make any more Steep Techs, due to the overwhelming attention they receive from the 'Urban' community. Did he I hear that right? URBAN? like Urban as in Black & Latino kids, from the hood, buying expensive coats. Just when I thought our buying power meant something. lol. Who am I kidding. It DON'T !!!! we are just consumers. young people that like to look fly. We've made alot of people Rich over the years. So, As what I had already knew, came out of the horse's mouth, (or the sales clerk's mouth) I eyed a few things in the store, gave him some info about buying boots online, if he don't make the NY trip, took a look back at the store, and was off about my merry way... I said all of this to say, TNF is Still a cool brand, in my book, and the STEEP TECH line is still a cool jacket. I ain't gonna lie, I don't see too many white folk rockin' em, and there definitely ain't no mountains in the hood.It is what it is. Right after, I got ahold of a rep from THE NORTH FACE on the phone, in the US office and inquired about this. Apparently, TNF is still doing the Steep Tech line. As well as a line called the Steep line (which is similar) its basically up to the Retailer, as to which piece, they want to carry. This TNF store in the mall, Don't want the 'urban' attention. (lemme find out, they got steamed a couple times ) Don't matter, It is what it is...We Urbanites will continue to do what we've been doing for Years...
TAKE A BRAND, ROCK IT, AND MAKE IT OUR OWN!!!! We 'urban' kids have been doing this and doing it Well for Years. We STILL CONTINUE TO DO IT. WE SET THE TRENDS. NO MATTER WHO DON'T WANT US IN IT.

and now, the Steep Tech pics

oh look, a non-urban wit a STEEP TECH

..and another one
