Things have really picked up for me in the photography world. In addition to a ton of time-for-print/cd (TFP/CD) sessions coming up, I’m working on the side with Minnage Magazine as one of their photographers, helping cover Minneapolis nightlife. Tonight I’m fortunate enough to have been asked to come down to Foundation night club and photograph Rock-n-Roll Hall of Famer, Grandmaster Flash, one of the pioneers in turntablism and hip-hop. And the best part about it—paid assignment (not much, but it’s something)…and the possibility of being published. With a higher profile assignment like this, it’s almost certain that Minnage will publish the photo(s).

And just in case you still can’t remember who Grandmaster Flash is…I’m sure you’ll remember the tune, “Rappers Delight” by the Sugarhill Gang. Grandmaster Flash was from the same era when rap was first getting noticed in the mainstream.

Next weekend’s going to be extremely crazy—a wedding, two photo shoots, and one runway show. My hard drive is going to fill up fast this week.
