Dave's Quality Meat

My uncle Eladio first took me to Dave's Quality Meat a few years ago when I was visiting with my friends Greyson, Marshall, and Andrey. We told him we were looking for some good shoes and he told us he knew a place. We had no idea.

In The Heights with Corbin Bleu

I know, I know, I'm way behind on getting my NYC material up from my last trip, but I've been crazy busy these last two weeks. Anyway this is the story of how I ended up hanging out with Corbin Bleu, that guy from High School Musical who used to look a lot like my friend Marshall. It went like this...

Coming Up: Model Citizen

For the last few weeks, Rumors Boutique and Gallery 5 have been preparing for the first annual Model Citizen runway fashion show, brought to you by RVA Magazine, Rumors, and CECO Studio. Casey Longyear, the lead coordinator and friend of mine, asked me to help direct photography for the show, so for the last week I've been at model rehearsals getting an inside look of what's in store for the Richmond art scene next weekend.

Supreme New York

As some of you know, I spent last friday through monday in New York with some friends. Being the cultural center of the east coast, it was only natural that part of my agenda be dedicated to sampling the local streetwear scene. First on my list was good old Supreme.

Rumors Press Shoot/Document

I've been meaning to post about it for a while, but a few weeks ago I did a press shoot/document for Rumors Boutique. That basically means taking pictures of everything that could make for an interesting accompaniment to any future news/magazine articles or blog post that don't already have photos ready to use. If any of you are already up about Rumors, you might've seen me on their blog not too long ago. Dear Casey and Marshe, thanks for the shout out! These are just a few of the shots from the set.

Billy Manzanares

I got together last week with Billy Manzanares, co-owner/founder of the Henry Gallery, to talk with him a bit about his boutique, its backstory, and his personal take on streetwear today.


DOP: So first thing’s first, what were your reasons behind starting the Henry Gallery?

Billy: Basically to offer Richmonders something that wasn’t available here.
