Endless photos and memories with Gregg. He was one of the few friends I’d see all around on our mutual travels to the point we even landed as roommates for a year or so in Philly. We bounced between the same universe and he always had that warmth and calming energy no matter the time, space, or place.
Although I photographed numerous performances, DJ sets, and casual hangs and adventures, this was a pull from an old memory. From the roommate days and we were yet again both traveling and on our creative paths. Here we were in Chicago — where I was documenting and he was in the tiniest DJ booth curating the sounds at The Social Club — circa the summer of 2013. More memories and moments that I’ll share in time of ~ was such a joy to have you be a part of my whirlwind adventures. Love you eternally dear friend ❤️

This is how I do it..
One day. Here’s the adventure. No boundries.. no requirements. Just all access. But even with AA, I meander the crowd. I love to document all of it and every aspect has a story to be told. But with Coachella, I can’t help but reflect and share on an earlier version. When it wasn’t a commercial. And it was just fu***ng awesome. Oh, an Za was legit!
Piggy back rides. Casual run ins! A Dazed and Confused adventure in the dust of the desert. Here’s another cl*******ck deep dive into ONE DAY in 2008. With a Boys Noize pre NIN vibe. Tag yourself. Tag your friends
