A few weeks ago I took my 1st trip back to Atlanta after I made the big move out here to LA! And boy I tell ya, It felt sooooo good to be back “home” . I mean I starting to get the hang of LA, and it’s beautiful out here, and it seems as though the sky is the limit, but going back to Atlanta was just what I needed! I got to see all my friends that I missed so much and I got to shoot with two of my fans!!! Drexina Nelson and Allen cooley!
Here are a few btw pics from my shoots!!!! Enjoy!

This year I decided to basically do my own documentary of my super cool life lol. Im using this cool app and Im taking a few different approaches to record amazing experiences throughout this year. I want to be able to look back 20 years from now and remember these times, the places, the experiences and the people.
Something is telling me I am going to be great!!! And I want to capture and remember every second of it…the struggle…the good, the bad, the fun, the sad, the highs and the lows…..it’s all a part of my journey…my story….and I just decided to take matters into my own hands and capture it all!!!!!
I think Ill put together the years worth of experiences at the end of every year!!!! this should be a fun project that lasts forever!!!! Im excited!
Ill post this cool little snippet of me and my friends at the Zeds Dead stage Coachell 2012…. its a silent clip…but thats what makes it so cool to me…although you can’t hear whats going on…you can def look and tell that we were having an amazing time!!!!!
