GS CHRONICLES 11, KAWS COLLABORATION

10 Years ago.
In honor of Yves Saint Laurent’s forty years of creating, IFFP(international festival of fashion Photography) put together a
powerful book and exhibition that traveled world wide.
Recognizing young talent, they invited me to contribute by shooting an original YSL vintage piece, along side 69 heavy hitting
photographers, including some of my idols; Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, David Bailey, Jean Paul Sieff, Jean Paul Goode,
Bettina Rheims, Nick Knight, Peter Lindbergh and Jurgen Teller. Being the early stages of photoshop, I had a failed my attempt
at creating the ill collage, so looking for an improved solution I crossed paths with Kaws, who gladly accepted the challenge.
Here’s what we came up with. I shot the model Teresa Lourenco in studio and Kaws did his thing.
Since all good things come full circle, maybe its time to do it again..who knows..what do you say B.

JAMAICAN STYLE N’ FASHION

While i know this site is creeping with mainly sneaker freaks and no one really cares about hi fashion,
perfect cause neither do I, i care about style though. So here’s a shared look into Carribean Fashion
week, where Jamaican designers similar the musicians arent scared to Pop off some experimental
and forward shit we are sure to see continue inspiring the runways and streets of NY, London, Paris and Tokyo
in the next year or two. It turned out being the perfect place to do some casting for my shoots to follow. Hummingbirds about.

FOLLOWING the HUMMINGBIRDS in GULLY PARADISE

I recently went to Jamaica, my favourite place in the world besides NY, it was all work, but I took in what i could along the way
of all the soothing sights, the rich and refreshing nature, invigorating foods and herbs, highly advanced music and style, last but
not least those birds..those hummingbirds are truly unique, just look at that tail..

Love Pool..shot on location in L.A. featuring Sticky Fingaz from Onyx, Harold Hunter as seen in my previous post,
Melida Prado, and a few models who’s names escapes me. The shoot was styled by Emil Wilbekin who has since
eloquently swerved his way through the magazine publishing world holding one top position after another. He is
currently the editor in chief of Giant magazine. This was also the day we lost a great legend, it was the day Biggie
got gunned down coming from the Vibe Awards..March 9th 1997.

The Vibe editing in 97’ was a bit PG, so here are some out takes I am happy to published now.

REMEMBERING HAROLD

Since I was working outta town this weekend so I couldnt make the HH day in person, instead i am offering my respect from the
web angle. Harold and i were’nt tight tight, we knew each other from the L.E.S. and got to work together a few times
(like in these flix from the “Love Pool” shoot in L.A.) and we partied hard many more.
One thing I remember Harold for, besides his cool ass dudeness and talent as a smooth skater, was his ability to
help people relax and enjoy the present moment.
He would have jokes for days, pulling them out the hat right then and there forcing you to acknowledge the moment.
He knew how to start a party anytime anywhere, passing the torch of life that was given to him. Many good memories left behind.
Peace to the Double H.
