This photo series was taken of me and seminal graf king, doze green in the summer of 2001. It was a sunny day and we were taking a break. Lucky for me, Louise captured the moment. We were hanging out on Clinton Street in the LES witnessing Brazilian wonder twins, Os Gemeos and Herbert work up Tokion's new storefront. When I see this montage, I am reminded of good times with good people...it feels like it was only just yesterday.
Balancing life with art, Ig and Louise do volunteer work shooting videos for the Sea Shepherds while picking up once-in-a-lifetime paying gigs with big corporations. They see things and share; traveling and documenting the world on someone else's dime. I often find myself lost on their website, following their travels through posted photo journals. I am envious of their adventures and captivated by their visual storytelling.
Having only had a short hot week to hang with Ig and Louise and the Brazilian painting posse, I intend on keeping my promise to visit them in Brazil. I'm looking forward to sharing new experiences with them in real time! I'll post my Os Gemeos and Herbert's paint day pictures soon. So please check back and in the meantime, take a little vacation through Ig and Louise's eyes. Oh yeah, and keep a look out for their Antarctica photo book due out in May!
