GRIMEY GOSPEL: 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.
