Virgil Abloh photographed by me on 35mm
I will never forget this night. It was taken in 2019. I always go places with my film camera. I love to photograph everyone and everything. I was in the corner in the booth at one of my favorite spots in town- Smartbar. Some kid hit me in the head with a pair of off white shoes when Virgil came out to start his set. The kid was screaming “Virgil sign these” and pushed me to try to get through. Virgil saw that happen and he noticed that I was holding a film camera. He came up to me and pointed at my camera and said “hey, take my pic!”. I was so flustered cause it caught me off guard and afterwards he asked me if I was okay. It was a very real recognize real moment and I’ll never forget how caring and supportive that interaction was. Artists who support other artists are so crucial. Several months later I got hired to photograph his moving train piece throughout Chicago that was connected to his MCA show. It is a highlight of my career and I’m forever thankful. The impact Virgil made on everyone around him will never disappear.

These pictures from the concert last night are pretty sick. So thankful I got to see my favorite bands! Being against the barricade wasn't so bad either 🖤🖤🤘🤘🖤🤘🖤🤘
Speedy J returns to Oktave and to Smartbar on June 30th for another round of techno jams. I’m really excited to host the man who has had quite the influence on my career. See you on the dance floor - this one’s a command performance.

More than half way through the year and I think Compro is still my favorite album of 2018.
