We’re feeling photographer and filmmaker Tone, who’s sumptuous work seem as natural and effortless as the amazing talent he chooses to collab with. Here’s a sample of that unique style. We’re guessing lovely model Alexandra Estevez is in front of the Canon 5D Mark II?
Mikal Hameed is a dynamic mix media artist and a good friend of ours. Based in Brooklyn, he’s earned his acclaim through hard work and visually stunning set pieces for the likes of Kanye along with a who’s who of music and Hollywood. He’s also been doing his own thing, most recently stepping into the spotlight as M11X, his sound sculpting alias.
We’re digging this promo piece done for him in anticipation of his recent gallery show in San Francisco. This is the Mikal Hameed we know – passionate, innovative, and putting in work while others are sleeping.

If you’re a fan of street fashion photography, no doubt you’ve stumbled across the work of Vanessa Jackman. A self-described “lawyer turned photographer”, Vanessa describes her website as “A blog about a girl, her nikon and a great big love affair”. Her lovely photographs of gorgeous people prancing the streets of Paris, London and gasp, Williamsburg, Brooklyn are quickly earning her buzz and comparisons with the Satorialist. Recently her work has been featured in Lucky Magazine, and she’s been mentioned favorably in the Fader, as well as numerous fashion blogs.
Louise of DailyVitamins.com echos our sentiment, “I find myself spending ages scrolling through all of vanessa’s street style photos, loving the running with the fash pack photos recently!” Despite a modest website and a simple goal, to photograph the fashion and people she finds compelling, Vanessa Jackman is one photographer you’d be lucky to find yourself in front of.

Popular Williamsburg/Greenpoint DJ Reverend Soul, aka Solange Raulston, was struck by a flatbed truck and died while biking on Nassau Ave in Greenpoint Sunday afternoon. For those who loved soul music at places like Bembe and Rose Bar, there’s a good chance they’ve encountered DJ Reverend Soul, even if she was just bobbing her head providing the beats from a dark corner. A strong outpouring of love and support is coming from as far away as London ans Israel.
Already we are hearing of a Ghost Bike memorial being planned at the site, and a Monday night (tonight) tribute to Solange Raulston and her love of soul music at Rose Bar.
