Catwalk: A Night of Vogue

A small warehouse in Little Haiti brimmed at capacity late Saturday night, June 24, for Catwalk: A Night of Vogue featuring fierce competition of voguing, realness, death drops and serving face for a lit audience of spectators on a taped off runway. Emcee Nikki Blaque led the panel of local judges in their deliberation of face-offs and ultimate best-of awards for cash prizes. Slideshow for Miami New Times.

People Watching @ Miami Music Week

Miami Music Week is my favorite time of the year. People flood in from all over the country, abandoning their boring jobs and usual selves to get lit in one of the few American cities still warm in mid-March. Similar to Art Basel, there's a million things to do every day for more than a week and it can be difficult to figure out what's worth your time (and money). After hitting a few South Beach hotel parties and a Friday night downtown post-Ultra, Get Lost at Little River Studios felt like a unique alternative to the overwhelmingly EDM scene. They created my favorite use of a space, and housed the funkiest crowd I saw all weekend. It was a hustle trying to hit as many events as I could in four days, but there's no better time to be out with a camera in Miami. Slideshow for Miami New Times.
