The art of inspiration and influence when it comes to photography happens when there exists real talent and a magical moment (timing, mood, lighting, composition). Jim Marshall had an atavistic knowledge of that moment and how to capture the soul of the person and deliver that beautiful moment to his audience. On March 23, 2010 we sadly lost this legend of Rock & Roll photography. POSTED IN Dedications | NO COMMENTS |

#RIPBIG… Absolutely! But… way before twitter trending topics… this game was a lot different. There was a real feeling of building something that was uniquely ours! People wanted each other to win, there was a different spirit in the industry. It somehow meant a lot more in 1995, especially in New York City when Big held the crown. I remember the thick air outside of Bad Boy on 19th street and 5th avenue, music blaring out of the maroon Land Cruiser or Benz, people milling around waiting to hit the clubs, puttin’ it in the air, it was a great moment in history. The movie “Notorious” touched on it a bit, but it was always grimier, less polished and had a real presence. When Big was around you, you knew you were in the presence of greatness. I wonder where the game would be today if he was still with us. Who would be on top? Would some who have risen to fame and glory actually be working for UPS like Biggie mentioned in his famous line in Flava in Ya Ear “You’re mad cuz my style you’re admiring, don’t be mad UPS is hiring”… It’s interesting to think about it all. But we know that everything happens for a real reason… POSTED IN Resist Simple | COMMENT (1)
One of the strongest design teams that have been assembled in recent history within current urban culture has to be Jason Noto and Doug Cunningham at Morning Breath Inc.
Pushing the design borders out of what is accepted and safe, these two break all the rules, a characteristic that I always applaud and appreciated greatly. Their vision is unique in the design world I feel and they are only pushing harder to do “their own thing” in all cases.

For those who don’t know, RESPECT Magazine, is an amazing, and rare, blend of equal appreciation for both the music itself and the amazing photographers who’ve shaped the way we look at hip hop. Photo edited by the insanely talented Sally Berman, this magazine doesn’t focus on the tabloid gossip of hip hop, but the amazing blend of artists that come together to make this culture something to cherish. Hip hop isn’t dead y’all, its alive and kicking on the pages of RESPECT. Recently the magazine partnered up with K-SWISS and asked 4 legendary photographers to define the meaning of the word “Classic” through self-portrait, video and written word. Check out a bit of the campaign here, and for even more go pick up a copy of RESPECT Magazine currently on stands now. Posted by Alexis Bobbitt POSTED IN Press, Collaborations | COMMENT (1) |
