Evolution 4

I just got back travelling with Dynamic Rockers to Evolution 4 -- the jam was dope. It was a loooong week - between driving down and back and spending 4 days filming in Atlanta. Definitely worth it though. Kid Glyde, Whorah and Invertebrate won the 3 on 3, Meen187 killed it in his exhibition battle & the Dynamic Rockers crew made it to the finals in the 8 on 8 -- so good stuff all round. In between shooting 25 hours of footage I managed to bust out the still camera on Day 2 to shoot some of the cyphers going on...

Sneakerbox

As I'm trolling through the footage I keep landing on these moments that I wish I'd been able to capture with a still camera too... but captured stills will have to suffice. Here's one of my latest favorites from the Sneakerbox Jam that went down in July...


5 Crew Dynasty Huddle

Kings of New York

Here are some shots from Kings of New York went down the night after Halloween at St. Marks Church in the East Village. I wasn't in love with the fact with the fact the crowd had to be so far away from the battles -- but still managed to get some shots that I'm happy with. Congrats to Dynamic & 5 Crew who took home the breaking title!

Portraits of the crew by Kris Graves

As part of the final episode of the crew, I filmed a photo session of the crew with friend & talented photographer Kris Graves (krisgravesprojects.com) at his studio in Dumbo. Here are some of the final photos...

Video Stills of the Crew Members

I've been cutting Episode 1 & the intro to the crew & serendipitously paused on a couple of stills that I've since fallen in love with...
