One of my dreams as a kid was to one day have my artwork hang up in a gallery. Well this year that dream came true. Shortly after I decided to start posting Polaroid type pictures on Facebook, thanks to the amazing invention called the iPhone, I randomly got a text from my friend Aiysha Sinclair. It turns out one of her old high school friends was the curator of this great night of Polaroid photography called Instant Gratification. I jumped at the opportunity, and I even drove my Polaroids down to Belmont Shores in Long Beach on a cold Monday night, just so I can get my art in for sure. I've always known about Bergamot Station, ever since I moved to LA in 2001. An old friend Erik Hibbert told me about it, and I've always had this small dream to have my stuff hang up there. Well that day arrived, and I was lucky to have 2 Polaroids of mine hang amongst hundreds in this amazing night of vintage photography. Of the 21 shots I gave, they picked one picture of the Eiffel Tower, and the other was a shot of my friend Jonathan in these fun black rimmed glasses.
That same night, my dear friend Aiysha and I (the woman that got me in this gig in the first place) were photographed by a photographer that liked our style. Who knew I'd ever be photographed for my style...especially in Los Angeles! Below is the photograph.
