  1. Real Quick (Remix)

    Date 18 Jun 2019
    Real quick: 1. “Just shoot” is the most applicable piece of advice of my father has given me.  The most pervasive phrase in my mind whether it be playing basketball as a kid or now as a photographer. Crazy how that works ain’t it? 2. When I approach things with confidence the results…

  2. Real Quick

    Date 05 Jun 2019
    Being able to see the areas where you’ve grown is a hell of a feeling man. If you’re reading this #1: thanks for reading #2: give yourself a lor pat on the back for how far you’ve come, then try to reach another level in whatever you’re trying to be and enjoy the…

  3. Another Lor List

    Date 21 May 2019
    - Pushing through is important. My friend Tariq is always tweeting W-U-S-H (write until something happens) something I repurpose for myself - “After weeks of negotiations she bought me my first camera for my 19th birthday and gave me life for the second time.” - Me, about my mother in my purpose statement…

  4. A Lor List

    Date 03 May 2019
    - One time for MBTA employee Mr. Calvin who I see every morning and afternoon - One time for the older couple casually strolling past Fenway on a Wednesday night sporting FAMU gear - Improvement isn’t a linear process - I went to Kendrick Lamar’s first show in Baltimore about a month before his…

  5. Opening Day

    Date 16 Apr 2019
    Last week I slept in thirty minute intervals throughout the night to make sure I was out of the door to be at Fenway to comfortably set up to document the sunrise over Fenway on Opening Day. I got to the park at 5:30am ready to get it going. Had…

  6. While We Waiting

    Date 09 Apr 2019
    So boom, the grounds crew has been hard at work getting the ballpark proper just in time for opening day. The grass and all the dirt on the infield is fresh, all the fresh signage is up. The seats have been painted and power washed, the whole nine yar-… innings.…

  7. On Leadership

    Date 22 Mar 2019
    Over the past few years I’ve had the honor of being around some great leaders. A few years ago, after graduating from Norfolk State I went into my high school’s alumni open gym and approached coach Sam Brand about documenting the team every day during the upcoming season. What I learned…

  8. We talkin’ about pictures

    Date 15 Mar 2019
    Aight so boom I’ve been trying to start getting back in midseason form. I’m starting to get back in the gym. I’m slowly getting back into maintaining a solid diet although I kinda messed up the past two days. Today I finally found a barber that I’m going to stick with…

  9. Spring Training 4 Everybody (Remix)

    Date 07 Mar 2019
    Towards the end of spring training I thought about some things I’m going to run into throughout the season. I can’t rely on being in the same spot, or the same lenses. It’s easy to get comfortable but after you take the same photo a few times, then what? During the…

  10. Spring Training 4 Everybody

    Date 27 Feb 2019
    Last Monday I took a Lyft at 3:25am to make a 5am flight to Fort Myers, Florida for spring training. It was my fourth flight in as many months. Looking down on clouds puts me in one of those introspective moods and I thought about all the people back home that…
