this 35mm photograph (“000047290005”) was created in April 2019, in los angeles, california.
it was created with fuji superia 400 film with a vivitar ps35 camera.
what i love about this photograph is the light leak across the left side + how it bleeds into the delicate pink blossoms of the tree as they’re offset by the sky. This is one of my favorite photographs that I’ve created / pink is one of my favorite colors and I love the way it pops in this image.
this mix was created on july 3, 2021 on the island of kaua’i.
it is a morning mix for inspiration + uplift featuring robert glasper, yasiin bey, chris dave, derrick hodge, yussef dayes, alfa mist, mansur brown, rocco palladino, james baldwin, freddie hubbard + shigeto.
i remember feeling excited for the day while making this mix! “umi says” is another daily listen to me.
this quote is by harriet lerner from “the dance of intimacy” taken from the preface of “the will to change” by bell hooks
i discovered this quote on july 2019 in los angeles.
what this means to me…no power, no talent, no skill, no smarts is worth love.
BE LOVE. That’s all that truly matters.
