A few weeks back I went to Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens for “Sushi & Stroll”. The Sushi & Stroll is a summer event they do at the gardens. Morikami opens up the Japanese Gardens for an early evening walk through the wonderful grounds. Before getting my walk on and take photos I ate a roll of sushi from the cafeteria to have some energy as I walk on the grounds. After my long walk I went into the museum and watched Fushu Daiko, a taiko druming band.

Fushu Daiko has practiced joyously in the pursuit of ever increasing mastery of taiko drumming, understanding, and appreciation in the way of taiko, Japanese culture, and all of life.

Fushu Daiko is made up of many nationalities and backgrounds, yet we have been drawn together by the taiko. Through it’s sound, Fushu Daiko wishes to create a sense of connection in the hearts of those who hear the taiko’s beat.

Our performance lends power and impact to any gathering. Based in South Florida we are available for performances of all scales.

Nina Sutherland aka one my favorite Photographers gave me a call to asking me to come out on a Monday night in boca to film DJ Stevie D’s Birthday Bash @ The Porterhouse. I had no idea there was going to be sooo many DJs. The Place was packed with people. The party went all night long. The birthday boy got a special treat when Turnablists DJ IMMORTAL & DJ EXOTIC E. teamed up together and tore down the house!

Once again it’s that time of the year! I was so happy to be apart of That’s Dancing Dance Gala again. This Dance School is amazing! They are the largest in Palm Beach County. Michele & Andrea as well as the stuff have their hands full with well over a hundred kids a week. They do a wonderful job teaching the fundamentals of form, technique and development.
The Dance Gala takes place the first week of June. It lasts three days! Filming and Editing this project is no easy task. Here is a video taken from the final DVD. This video showcases the full weekend of dance. It also includes behind the scene footage filmed during the dress rehearsals too.

B-Side Artists is comprised of 7 original members, but the group does not have a limited number of participants. The B-Side refers to the B-Side of the tape cassette or the flip side of a record. In the 80′s it seemed to be common knowledge that whenever you bought an album or were introduced to something new in the mainstream, it’s twin opposite shined a little harder…thus, allowing the underground to emerge. B-Side Artists is the urban youth underdog that continues to surprise pop-culture with it’s style, bold content, & willingness to create in artistically a-typical conditions.
Every year the B-Side Artists get together for one of the largest urban art shows in Central Florida. This year event took place in Downtown Orlando at The City Arts Factory.The rainy weather could not keep away the people from seeing the talented art being showcased.
