Recently while in NYC for this years Afro Punk festival, i got to meet, as well as network with some very creative folks. one in particular, is my man Ed Marshall. Ed’s a well known photographer in the music, as well as editorial world. Having shot for everyone from NY Times, to Whole Wheat Bread- this dude stays grinding. As a matter if fact, i remember one small piece of advice my man gave me while in BK- “i NEVER leave home, without my camera..”. a true hustler, and man of his word. Ladies and gentleman, i introduce one of Hustlemanias newest co-defendants- Mr. Ed Marshall:

Find more photos like this on Afro-punk
much props to this brother, and nothing less than success is in his future. thanks for getting down with the movement Ed, and I’m sure we’ll be seeing alot more of my man in these last days….

i gotta run.. but before i go, i leave you with this random shot my friend Russell sent me recently entitled “another day at the office”:

look.. im stil not sure of where/what Russel does. but any day, at any office where theres a sweaty ass lion with chromally fingers hanging out- sounds like a damn good “job” to me.. yall be good, and see some of you tonight. some of you this weekend. peace…
