There’s a test in my African American history class tomorrow. I’d say I was successful at finding the most stylish study buddy in the class.

So, I lit this piñata on fire on Folsom today.

Hey tumblrs! I thought I’d try something new and advertise my casting calls here. I have two upcoming  projects for which I’m seeking local talent. All you beautiful people are encouraged to apply!

The first project is an in studio accessory shoot. Gorgeous dip dyed fringe earrings that will be sold online. Check out the mood boards and the rest of the details here.

The mood board above is for the second project, which is the summer ad campaign for Manacio Clothing. We’ll be doing a series of photos and a fashion film to promote the 4th of July launch party. Think summertime, graffiti, skateboards, fireworks, bright colors, rooftops at sunset, etc. The video will be edited to the song Muevete Roche Rmx and we’ll be filming in various locations around San Francisco. Skateboarders, graffiti artists, fashionable freaks, dancers, and characters of all sorts are welcomed to apply. Check out the details here.

This is what my block looked like last night. In case you haven’t heard, we won.

I like this picture and the people in it. It’s not just because on any given summer night, I can go over to the spot in Hayward and they’re down to kick it. It isn’t simply because I spent the better half of high school recording raps in the closet studio there, or because with them I can thrive creatively on music videos and photoshoots galore. But because when they see me pull a camera out of my purse, they don’t get self conscious or pose for pictures. Instead, they suggest that we go under a light so that I have a better setting to photograph.

This photo represents what it feels like to be truly understood.

Fire workin’ it.
