I Thought I Told You That I Won't Stop
The last 2 weeks have been great for my career. I went from deejaying at 3 of Puffy's VMA parties in Miami to photographing 50 Cent's next Reebok campaign. I remember saying to myself that I wouldn't feel complete as a party deejay until I rocked at one of Puff's events. Thanks to some friends campaigning for me, and as Puff put it, Chris Lighty banging him over the head, I was granted that opportunity.
It was actually a pretty interesting weekend. The best part of the trip was the impromptu party I threw in the lounge of the Ritz Carlton South Beach. The storm had just hit Miami and since we couldn't leave the hotel, I phoned the rooms of a few friends and we all got together for drinks and played cards.
After returning from Miami, I received a phone call from Lighty asking me to photograph 50. I will admit to being nervous but what kept me focused was the fact that I know how Lighty thinks. No matter how cool we are, he would never jeopardize the quality of 50's work for the sake of just looking out for a friend. I guess it's official, I am a working photographer.
