Version 2.0

Culture, healing, politics and bullshit - Not necessarily in that order

The general, socio-political and very personal rantings and ravings of a hip hop head from the hood hustling for change... Of himself.

You all know me and are aware that I am unable to remain silent. At times to be silent is to lie. For silence can be interpreted as acquiescence.

More Chicago Shots

I had to post a few more shots from my 'visit' to Chicago last week. I really enjoyed myself beyond a few family follies. I thought I'd have enough time to do all the things I wanted to and see all of those I wanted to see but no. I tried to do what I could given the time I had.

I really appreciate my city and it's beauty. Take a glance at these shots and remember, you can click on them to make them larger to really get some detail. I'm headed back to the Chi in about a month or so on a few follow ups music-business-wise and of course I got a few interviews to do as well.


Enjoy.
I thought I'd throw in another shot from the Taste Of Chicago... Damn all them people and that heat!

I ran across a few hemp heads lobbying for weed equality and selling some cool ass T-shirts

I had to throw my skyline in there again. Had to. Still impressive and comforting

These cats have had a Cricket league in my old neighborhood park for more than 30 years. See that building back there? I grew up a few houses down from there most of my childhood into young adulthood.


Another beautiful shot of the Chicago skyline from 20th Street and California Avenue at about 5:30 am

You have an eye for good pictures...

Have you ever thought of cashing in on your good eye?


Just a thought.

Great shots! I love Chicago...I'll be going next month hopefully to check out The Color Purple!

Thanks y'all. I tried to capture what I believe were 'normal' moments with the lens. I thought they were a little blah (not enough people in most of the shots to show life), I'm glad you like them.

Next time I'll capture the people, we'll see where that takes us.

I'm still a student though.
