Birdhouse Miami to NYC Skate Tour

On a recent assignment from New Times, I got the chance to meet Tony Hawk on his Birdhouse Miami to NYC Skate Tour. Unfortunately I missed the demo by the pros, but was able to get some behind the scenes photos of the guys hanging out. A guy known as Funky added to his autograph collection by having the skate pros tattoo their signature on his back. "Funky" supposedly has the record for tattooed autographs. Check out the full slideshow over at New Times.

Bitchy Bingo at Lips

Ft. Lauderdale, FL-  Here are some unpublished photos from my assignment with New Times to photograph Bitchy Bingo at  Lips. The drag show was definitely an interesting thing to photograph. You can also see the article about Bitchy Bingo or check out the slideshow at Newtimes.

Art/Heart Saturday Night at The Green Room

The Green Room has turned into a decent spot to get away from the normal ridiculousness of downtown Ft. Lauderdale. On this evening there was a ton of art on display and John Ralston headlined. Check out Mickie Centrone's write up about the night over at New Times. You can also see the full slideshow from the night.

Best of the Best Day 2 2011

Miami, FL- It was a day of "big ups" and "shout outs". Reggae and hip hop. The majority of performers were given three or four songs on stage. I did learn some new dance moves, taught by none other then Shabba Ranks. Two noteworthy appearances were Busta Rhymes and Ludacris coming out to join DJ Khaled.

And how about an impromptu photo shoot in the middle of Biscayne Blvd?

Jello Wrestling at Boston Johnny's

Hollywood, FL- I remember during my glorious high school years me and my friends attempted to have a jello wrestling party. It turned into a baby oil wrestling party. And unfortunately it turned into a guy wrestling a girl party. There was just an element missing for some reason. Fail....

This time, at Boston Johnny's, the Gold Coast Derby Girls team was holding a jello wrestling fundraiser. The key is the jello. It's not your typical put in the refrigerator jello. It comes in powder form and when mixed in water creates a nice gelatinous mix. These girls got into it. Check out the full gallery over at New Times

New Times Cupcake Battle and Art Institute Fashion Show at Las Olas Food & Wine Festival

Fort Lauderdale, FL- I covered the New Times Cupcake Battle this past Friday at the Las Olas Food & Wine Festival. Of course I sampled some, and some more, and a few more. They were basically my dinner and after 10 or so cupcakes I was not feeling to hot. Check out the full gallery over at New Times.

An interesting street snapshot

I also caught up with some friends from AI and checked out their Food and Wine inspired fashion show

Marlins Mermaid & Manatee Tryouts

I was assigned by New Times to cover the Marlins 2011 Mermaid and Manatee Tryouts. First were the Manatees, who are the heavier male counterpart to the beautiful Mermaids. I was surprised to even see one guy do a split! The Mermaid tryout had a little more competition and overall I could say I didn't hate my job. To see more photos check out the slideshow at New Times
