If you haven’t been to the Association Bar in Downtown Los Angeles, even during The Straight Ahead era, then you really need to check this event out. I’ve posted about this new classy jazz get-down a couple of times (thanks to Amanda), but here are the photos of this month’s get down. For those of you who I’ve given cards to, here is the finished product. I hope you enjoy them, as well as to see you guys at the next session, which will take place on the second sunday of April.

Motown On Mondays – The Hip-Hop Edition (update)…

I know some of you have probably came to this page already wondering where are the pictures from Monday night? I’ve been having computer trouble, so I ended up taking it in to get it fixed. I just got it back today, so for those of you who have my card, email me. I will try my best to have them up this weekend for sure. I promise.

PICTURES: Papillion Institute of Art Presents: CUBA: Life After the Revolution…

Here are some pictures I’ve taken during Eric Berry‘s photo exhibit over at my friend’s house during the Downtown LA artwalk (which was like damn near 20+ blocks away from the ‘festivities’). According to him, he went down there for a couple of weeks and snapped some shots and came back.. the pictures are awesome!

You can still check them out, while they’re up at the gallery. If you want, check out the flicks below.

Papillion Institute Of Art Presents: CUBA: Life After The Revolution (Opening Reception) [01/12]!

The lovely lady Michelle will be hosting this special photo exhibit over at her crib during the hours of the DTLA Artwalk tomorrow night. The photos were taken by Eric Berry. Make sure you stop over here to see the visuals of Cuba from the eyes of the photographer. Shout out to the P.I.A! More details are located [here].

PICTURES: Phonte & 9th Wonder LIVE at the Key Club [01/06]…

It was an awesome night; that’s all I have to say. I’m very thankful that I had the chance to shoot for this event. If you want to see more pictures and my review, go [here]!

Good Foot Christmas (12/25/11) [pictures]…

The Good Foot Christmas party held at Alex’s bar last week was awesome! The only place to have been at while every venue, business or whatever was closed that day! Time was ticking for me to hurry up down there to snap some photos. The music was on point, but unfortunately, the James Brown doll (Happy Birthday, btw) went missing towards the end of the night. I made the pictures black & white with the grain effects just to give it that old ’60s feeling. Check them out down below, and click on them to see the actual size.

LA: Beat Swap Meet x Watch The Throne Afterparty Pictures?

Sorry for the long delay. Here is proof that I’m trying to make it happen. I’ve been trying to fix them up by getting rid of the noise on the pictures! It’s been taking me forever since I’ve taken LOTS of pictures. If you want to see some of the pictures I’ve taken at Beat Swap Meet, go to Word Is Bond.

As far as the WTT afterparty pictures, they’re almost done. It’s not easy trying to pull through with everything being hectic around holiday time. I’m exhausted, and the fact that my not having internet access at home either is making it difficult to getting things done. But if you want, respond here and I’ll email them to you quickly then…

I do apologize for the long delay. I really do.

I apologize for not being consistent with my recent postings. The past two weeks have been really hectic with finals and school and whatnot. Plus, for some of you that already know that I like to take pictures, I’ve been messing with my pictures using this program by Adobe. I dont even know why I havent been up on game with this product, but better late than never, right?

This program is definitely useful for photographers (beginners/professionals). The features that you can use on your pictures are amazing! I strongly suggest you guys go do some research and purchase it! It’s not expensive to purchase, especially if you’re planning on getting the student/teacher edition!

Here’s a video that’s pretty useful, especially if you’re dealing with ISO & noise/color reduction in your pictures! Pay attention.

Straight Ahead Sundays (Pictures) [11/27]!

I know some people are ready to kill me for not having these up already lol. But, considering that I have been dealing with unrelenting time limits due to school (finals are rapidly approaching), and work.. PLUS learning how to watermark my pictures (see above),… I hope you understand where I’m coming from. Better late than never, right? =/

Thanks to all of you who have been patient with me and these pictures. The next event is set for this coming sunday [12/11], which will be the official afterparty for Beat Swap Meet. If you’re into vinyl, arts & crafts, the flea market-style scene of music, hiphop, soul, & funk music, then come check it out (click here)!
