I am really overwhelmed by all the fans that have supported me over the past few years. I can’t believe that there are 20,000 of you now. Photography has granted me so many amazing opportunities; most of all it’s allowed me to share the things that are most personal to me. I’ve got some big things planned for this year and I’m pretty siked to show you guys. But right now, I’d like to take the opportunity to talk about another photographer.
I’d like to dedicate this little achievement to Rubee Crooks, a young photographer I’ve been mentoring over the past year. Rubee and I have been through a lot together and at only 18 years old her strength and determination is inspiring. She has been my little sidekick on many photography expeditions and it’s cool to shoot beside someone that is as passionate about photography as me (I didn’t teach her that). She takes risks and will do absolutely anything to get the right shot (no matter the cost), which in my opinion are the makings of a great photographer. Rubee has only been shooting for a short while and her progress never ceases to blow me away, her photo’s are something that reflects the future of a bright young artist.
I asked her to draw something to commemorate 20,000 of you liking my page and she knocked out this rad illustration in a matter of days. It is a celebration of all the places I’ve been able to shoot in over the past few years.
You are inspiring homie, I wish you success for now are beyond.
