I took a trip out to uptown manhattan to link up with the homie Lo fresh from the city of angels. It was a short meeting due to some inconveniences but, chill none the less. Grub, skating, and night air to pretty much sum it all. Next meeting I’m out to his coast. Mike of Hip Hop at Lunch was in the mix as well as Keya who provided the visuals as usual and, you know this, mannn. Here, I’m waiting for Lo and Mike to arrive on the front porch. I’m sure I was contemplating on making a tweet on twitter.
Mike leads the pack to this spanish spot called BlockHeads. Obviously, this wasn’t the spot but, just something I feel was a nice visual while trekking for some grub. Moving on… I listened to Lo’s and Mike’s blackout stories while merking this ill quesadilla. Lo hit me up earlier trying to explain to me what we down but, I confused his story with an actual blackout, like lights and electricity. Hilarity, I know. Blockheads was definitely on point though. I’ll add this spot to my own personal list of restaurants I attend during my trips from Newark to NY.
Lo and I brought our boards along so we figured we head towards Central Park to ride out for a bit. Rusty as rusty can be, the hills at Central Park added some enjoyment.
2/5 of the PFOP Mob and the front man of Hip Hop at Lunch heading to Central Park. Night stalking but, it was only like 6 something. It gets dark dumb fast during this time of year.
I’m sure Lo was tweeting in this photo. Matter fact I know he was tweeting in this picture. Don’t say you wasn’t, you were. Sporting the super cool flud watch, PFOP can definitely use a sponsorship from you guys if you’re reading this. We’re welcome to all free shit.
Here’s evidence of me taking too many photos. I am the only one ready for the photo. I’m not sure what they were smirking at either. How nice..
And home I go, Lo and Mike off to Williamsburg Bk, me off to Newark. Next time fellas…
This past Sunday was easily my best day all last weekend. Ofcourse, I got to document it all through photo. Thanks to you know who if you’ve been following this blog ever. Let me just put thanks Keya just in case I hear something about it later. Shouts to Kiran for being the chauffeur.
I was actually a bit upset I didn’t scope this out and took this photo. I’m obsessed with night time pictures. I finally learned how to take them in the dark too. The student is becoming better than the teacher.
Part of the reason I came to Philly was to link with my home girl Jess. We’ve been putting off getting together for the longest but, the procrasination stopped here. She was oh so kind to film a video for “What You Say(We scrapped the original).”
Fast forward to crashin’ Scanz crib to scoop some beats for my personal rapping duties.
I’m at the bus stop waiting for the 25 to head downtown to go to Newark Penn Station. Late night, about 7:30pm I would say, when a familiar face from my neighborhood approaches me with this here camera. Ofcourse, I knew what he was trying to do before he even said a word. “Let me see that” I said. I scoped it out for a bit and brushed him off with a “Nah, I’m good” as I would usually do. The 25 arrives, I hop on it. I couldn’t stop thinking about this camera. I wanted it. I hopped right off at the next stop and ran down the block. “You said 5 dollars right?” “Come on man give me 10.” The guy pleas. ” “I’ll give you 7.”
It comes to my attention after googling this here structure that these are “toy cameras” made in Japan that pretty much just have 2 exposures equipped with a nice flash. I really like the appearance to say the least. It has a nice vintage look. I already started taking pictures with it. Let’s see how they come out. I’ll most likely use the camera as prop for a photo series. Stay tuned. Great visuals on the way.
