5. As I walk through these gridlocked streets, New York City stares back at me. New York Eyes is a series of photographs
intended to capture the impressions these faces have left on me - these are not the faces that ‘were’ but the faces I
‘remember’. Many of these compositions can never be replicated and in that way, they are just as the fleeting moments
they represent...

8. The Other Kind of Green Tea
This technique has been used for thousands of years in India, and is referred to as bhang, which is a drink
made of milk, clarified butter, and spices mixed with a cannabis paste, somewhat similarly to Indian tea or
Masala chai which is made with tea leaves, milk, spices and sugar.
9. BENEFITS :|: For those suffering from conditions such as cancer, multiple
sclerosis or AIDS, cannabis relieves pain and the mental anxiety that comes
with constant body pain. For patients dealing with chronic pain and end-of-life
care, cannabis also can reduce anxiety and increase feelings of well-being.
TIP :|: Dissolving the active ingredient THC in lipids (for example vegetable
oil or butter) or alcohol (as in Green Dragon) is more effective for psychoactive
purposes[citation needed]. While water-based tea is generally not very effi-
cient, using milk, which contains fat, proves to be more effective.

10. Capture
To be present; to see beauty where you could not see before...rarely do we take the time to appreciate the nature that is arround us. Every
experience is unique and deserving of your appreciation. When one realizes that there is beauty in everything, the question then becomes,
“ What do I capture?”

12. Cooking With Cannabis
When cooking with cannabis it is very important to use fat [oil, butter, milk] because THC is fat soluble and not water soluble. What
this means is you must cook the cannabis with a fat, like butter or oil, and when cooked and heated this will release the THC from the
cannabis and into the butter or oil.

14. With eyes set on touring the country, my first few weeks
of travel will be spent in Miami Florida. It would appear
that my connection with, and understanding of “color”
was re-ignited as soon as the plane tires touched down in
Miami terrain. These lush colors that block so neatly, seem
to pry your soul from off the ground. I look forward to
sharing some of the sights seen through my Miami[Eyes]

My friends from Cali flew in for the weekend. My camera and I took the 4 train to the Upper East
Side. We caught up for a bit and then took a walk, got to vibeout and shoot this story for instagram.
Something about good people, good frequencies, and good lighting make for a great day!
