The Martin Luther King Jr. Photoshoot

A few days ago, I embarked on a journey across the DC area. I made it my priority to go visit the newly constructed Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. While in DC, my amazing super friend Lauren Urban (of www.DestinationPlanning.com) and her fiancee Zack Glenn (of ZSG Photography) suggested that we set up a photoshoot. I suggested that we use a location that really inspires me, thus we have the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. It was cool, this entire process was the perfect dedication to Dr.King. A young african american male and his caucasian friends together at the Dr.King memorial creating art, it doesn't get any better than that! Zack is an amazing photographer, he is now the official go-to photographer for TerryMcfly.com... we also collaborated on a "Georgetown" photoshoot. (which is posted on the Facebook page)


For the first few photos, I selected one of my favorite quotes from Dr.King as the back drop.

The Costume Institute Presents “Impossible Conversations”

Aptly titled impossible conversations this year’s offering from the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute is a study of the similarities between the works of famed Italian designers Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada. Garments and accessories from each designer are showcased in relation to the work of the other. In “Waist Up/ Waist Down” for example Prada’s affinity for skirts and shoes are showcased while Schiaparelli’s focuses on jackets and hats due to the restrictions of the time period in which she designed.

The Original Hipster by Julia Chesky

I personally think these pictures looked amazing so I decided to share them with all of you via Trendland

I really like this little series called The Original Hipster by Julia Chesky. Chesky is a Parson school graduate, Soho retoucher and store windows obsesser. She shot this story with Art Director Ali Lee and Chris, an interesting (homeless) model, the editorial is based on The Pushcart War book. Personally I have always found the homeless to be a great source of inspiration and totally agreed with Julia’s title “The Original Hipster”.

“Our lovely model, Chris, has lived on Mercer Street for a few decades by choice. I’m calling this series The Original Hipster because on most days he doesn’t even look like he’s truly homeless. “

The Greatest artist in the World! Banksy

I would like to introduce you all to one of the greatest artists of our time. Nobody knows what he looks like and 1 person has interviewed him, but his work is amazing, So amazing that its often sold to people for thousands, mind you he draws on buildings so people tear down entire walls top keep his work, now thats some serious artwork! I've managed to find a website (www.banksy.co.uk) that he has but it only features his work, no bio or anything, he never receives any of the profit from his work, that is a true artist and I can respect that. Become a fan of Banksy, because I can tell that he is a real artist! I've posted a few images of his work below and there is a video to show you just how much people go through to own a piece of this art. Obviously there is too much of his work to post here so look him up, Banksy is a "Terry Mcfly Approved" Artist





Watch the video below of the wall in jamaica he did


now here's a video letting you know who Banksy is
