It’s been a long day today at the 944 offices. Had a lot of folks roll through to converse and connect the dots. I’m getting the October (Arts&Culture) issue ready. It will be first issue that I will be overseeing so I’m bringing in my circle of talent. 

Meet Masa Inoue. We met a while back when I was building out the Evil Monito studio so it was a strange coincidence that he happened to drop off his book. He showed me a recent photobook project he did based on Echo Park. I enjoy his story telling through his images.

Later Patrick (Mosley Tribes/Oliver Peoples) and Greg (FIJI Water/ISM) stopped by and we rapped out.

Then, Shaniqwa Jarvis aka Shaq rolled by to talk about photography projects. Seems like so many people are hustling hard these days. Shaq lives in Silverlake but she’s usually in New York working on multiple things. She brings the heat! I was jockin’ her purse big time. Really digging the wicker steez, what’s up with that. Shaq put me on!
