My Jerms

I can honestly say I put my all into this documentary. Here is a quick back story. I went to school with one of the founders of Savage Squad who goes by the name Warlord Willy but we’ll call him Will for right now. Will hit me up and asked if I could record some of the workouts for them and at the time, I just got laid off my old job due to COVID so I said yes. It was something that allowed me to get out the house and get out of my mind. When you lose a job unexpectedly something happens to your mind and it turns your whole world upside down. As a creative when this happens sometimes you fall into a minor state of depression, actually that depression state can happen to anyone. I went to a couple of their practices and training sections to record promos for their upcoming fights.  The whole experience was amazing in hindsight. They were all intense yet hand this brotherly bond that was great to see. Little did I know, I was developing my eye and sharping my editing skills doing thi...

I have to start by saying I’m not a Tyler the Creator fan. Back in 2011 or 2012 when Odd Future first dropped, I did not care much for them as a group. I think it had to do with their antics and lack of quality music. At the time I felt they were just edgy kids trying to make a name for themselves and they just so happen to make music. Thinking back on it now we were all the same age. I didn’t think their sideshow measured up to their music. Plus, I always felt like Odd Future was nothing more than edgy suburban music for kids who drove around in their parents Jeep yelling out f**k their parents. You know, the type that hated their parents but their parents got/give them everything they wanted. Nowadays that’s just hip-hop in some areas of music. Even though I was not a fan of OF I was a fan of their branding.   Photo by Dino Kuznik Early on they understood the meaning and purpose of brand identity, specially Tyler. From creative album covers, to videos and photo shoots. Even wit...

Lately I've been doing a small passion project studying light and shadow. Ever since, I've noticed that my colors are better and I'm more focused on what the scene/composition of a shot. I’m more concerned with what’s going on in the frame, I’m becoming more intential with what I want to capture in my photos. The movement of people, places, and atmosphere are becoming more important to me. In this project I am trying to capture what summer feels like here in Atlanta, Ga. The project is called Summer Time in Atlanta. Honestly, I don't have a real name for this project yet but so far, I can call it fun and an enjoyable experience. I might make a book or small zine and give it to my family and friends just to say thank you for your support. I haven't posted any of this on Instagram because I'm starting not to like that platform anymore. I don't find it enjoyable, nowadays, it just doesn't seem fun. It's starting to become a huge advertising platform...

So, it has been 4 years. Within that time, a lot of things have happened. I think I can fit all that in the first paragraph. I graduated from college with a really good GPA, I got a job at a medical advertising place(if you can call it that) doing graphic design work, got laid off because of that thing they called COVID, was unemployed for a while, got a job now at a local TV station, and that’s about it(kind of). In between that just sprinkle in days and nights of sadness, loss of loved ones, depression(I guess), going to therapy, being dumped by my therapist(that’s a whole-nother story), and also moments of pure joy. Mix that all together and you’d get a normal person trying to survive and be happy in this world. In between that time, I picked up on a new/old hobby, which is film photography.     I’ve been on this film photography journey for about 2 years now and I’m in love with it. But I reached a point at the end of 2020 and the beginning of this year where I hated it. ...

So, I am an insecure creative also known as an artist. After school, it has been hard to find a job in the field that I studied in and I want to give up so I turned to the one thing that gives me joy in life movies and YouTube. While exploring YouTube I found a video called The War of Art and watched it and it was inspiring because I was going through what every artist goes through at one point which is something called Resistance. I bought the book that the video was based on at my local book store which is ten miles away from my home. I am not done with it yet because I am a slow reader when it comes to reading not because I can’t read but because I just read slow. Reading and writing was not my best subject in school and I had to take remedial reading and writing classes in college and in high school, well not really in high school but in college I did for a semester but I tested out of reading and writing wasn’t my strong suite but I enjoy it from time to time. I used to enjoy...

So, I am writing this to tell you guys my first impressions of the new Spider-Man Movie, Spider-Man Homecoming, and all I can say is…it’s a movie. I am going to be honest I am planning on watching it again just to give you a full review on how I feel about it. I will start off by saying it was a good movie but it wasn’t great or mind blowing as everyone claimed it was going to be. This was an advertised to the core movie with posters, toys, commercials, underwear, future games the works, watches, NBA, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, the guy down the street, and much more. But that is what I hated about this movie, the hype. I loved the movie but it was good just wasn’t great. The action sequences were great and it gives the true Spider-Man feel that we see in the comics and the games throughout the years. I loved the way Spider-Man interacted with the world around him which played into his title as the “Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man”, I loved that about this movie. I loved the cast, they...
