Vitamin B party featuring Wes Smith
Here are some photos of my homeboys dj gig at the House of Yes in Brooklyn a couple of weeks ago. He’s visiting NYC for a month from Cali where he’s been transplanted for a while.

Breakers
These kids look straight out of a dance battle movie. I’ve seen them both before in the long ride from Columbus Circle to 125th st on the A express. Simply amazing.

Now the flash will complement but not overpower, the ambient light. Shutter speed can be set manually depending on how or little ambient light you want. for this one I shot at 1/400th. and processed in Nik EFX
