Iman @ The Apollo – The PhotoBlog
Feb 4th
We had just parked the car and I made my way to the front of the Apollo Theater… “Excuse me brother but if you’re on the list you have to go to the back”
I look over to my good friend Fernando and say “Nando, I think tonight I am going to need a lot of patience, but I am telling myself this now so I don’t get angry and just take it in stride” Truer words never spoke…
Let me just state this right now for all to hear… I HATE LIVE SHOW PHOTOGRAPHY… There I said it, I hate taking them, I hate looking at them, I hate how they always look the same, I hate how it is just images of peoples mouths wide open. BUT I still take them, I don’t know why…
This night would be no different, but MUCH more difficult then any other night that I have attempted to do so… The Apollo security was CRAZY… Crazier then anything I’ve ever seen when it comes to photos… No video AT ALL, ANYWHERE… No flash (this I understand) … No shooting from anywhere but a designated area BEHIND THE AUDIENCE!!!… No shooting on stage… No shooting from backstage even if you have backstage access…
When have rules ever stopped me? Sometimes… but I still try… this is the result…
Thank you Iman for throwing an amazing event…
Fernando is amazing…

5 minutes of me sitting on a chair and this is the result on a slab of metal…

Fernando Leon… The EPIC Artist…
Jun 19th
Here is alittle early birthday present for my brother and fellow artist…
FERNANDO “EPIC” LEON…
See hes “assisted” me on sooo many shoots, so he naturally ends up getting photographed while setting up and getting things right…
But he is an amazing talent in his own right and deserves a little light shined his way…
