July 5, 2014 – My First Visit to the “New” Coney Island

Year 2010: Views of Coney Island Beach

My uncle has had a small boat since I was a little kid in the 80s. Back in 2010, he took my aunt and my sisters and me out for a little cruise for the first time in almost 20 years, and I was able to catch these shots of Coney Island Beach.

Although I am no longer a church-goer, I was pretty much raised in this church, and always liked the imagery of St. Michael crushing Satan. I took this photo back in 2007. If I remember correctly, the statue used be gold in color. Don’t know why they painted it gray.

Some Flicks I Snapped in NY

Yo, what up, my peoples.  I was going through some of my pics and dug these up from one weekend in 2009.  I realized that I haven’t shared these with anyone yet so now is as good a time as any.  Peace.

2 of my earliest influences – Also quite possibly the first photos I ever took

I dug up some throwback flicks the other day. 2 of my older cousins and myself break-dancing on cardboard in my basement. I’m gonna go ahead and credit these 2 guys for introducing me to hip hop. These were taken the night of my little sister’s christening, January 1984. Coincidentally enough, these photos also are probably the first I had ever taken myself. I guess we grabbed my mom’s or dad’s camera on our way downstairs to keep it funky.
