I Took a Photo!

I took a photo of Steve Aoki and Benji Madden.
Story time: Long before Steve was the top signal for every NFT project he was a nightlife friend and occasional client. I photographed a handful of events for him back when I was a party photographer. I was living in NYC at the time and he was based in LA so it wasn't like we were close or anything, but I always liked the dude.👇

fun, cheeky story from @drivenbyboredom that reminds me of Alain Levitt or Mark Hunter (aka Cobrasnake) lore.

party photographers, imo, are their own version of anthropologists.

Funny thing is every time I worked for Steve it was because Mark couldn't make it. Somewhere there exists a photo of myself, Mark and Bronques (Last Nights Party), taken several years after the party photo days and it still feels pretty iconic, if you are someone who gave a fuck about the mid 2000s blog house scene
