My man TeJay reporting in from Thailand with Pleasantries!!

I'm glad to call this guy my friend. Me and TeJay Henderson spent many a days hatching plans for the future. TeJay wears many hats, including those in-seemed with Filmmaker, photographer, producer, and DJ across the brim. His latest short film was shot in Thailand on his 26th born-day. I only see progress happening with this brother and fellow Florida A&M grad.

Mega Trife Wuz Here

This Brother came down from Brockton, Mass to visit one of my good friends, during Florida A&M's 2010 Homecoming. Everyone who's ever been to a FAMU homecoming knows it's the be all end all of all Black homecomings. Joining forces to bury ourselves in debauchery for the weekend, we got into various hip-hop discussions along the way. Little did I know, guy was a dope MC. Teaming with VA based Producer Nonsense (currently stationed in Orlando), Trife sounds like a natural link to the "Boombap" era. This is not to say that he's stuck in the past, because he definitely brings a new flow to the world. Old heads and new will appreciate his work.

Around FAMU

We met Charo, from Miami, on Florida A&M University's infamous "Set". The "Set" is pretty vacant during the summer term but it can be a huge party/fashion show/dance off during Fall months. I applaud her for wearing black in mid day Tallahassee. A good amount of T-shirts are essential, if you plan on surviving a typical N. Florida summer. Props go out for the Billie Holiday screen.



Some decide to venture away from the tees and this is a great example of it. Tween hails from Miami and definitely brings some of the South Florida style to FAMU. The pink button down is straight from the "Miami Vice" era, and the dark brown desert boots are a really nice touch.

Humidity Tastes Like Sunny D

When walking a few blocks in North Florida heat, it can feel like one just finished playing a full court basketball game. We posted up at a few places on the Southside of Tallahassee looking to photograph a few brave souls. The intense ninety six degree heat sent most scurrying for air conditioning or at least a nice patch of shade. We did manage to scratch up a few pics though.

The aforementioned surplus of heat is just a daily routine for most Floridians. It’s a part of what makes Florida different from any other place in this world. The culture varies from region to region, just like many large states. North Florida is viewed as “Southern”, while Central and South Florida are multicultural hubs. Each region has its own mix of people, way of talking, dressing and expressing themselves. With a focus on the dress aspect, we set out to catch the Florida "lifestyle" on camera.
