life: photography by my good friend ANGELO BAQUE
he was the first photographer who really introduced me into the world of the muse/photographer. we met while working retail at STUSSY in 2001. man, those were the days. he started with a few flicks at work and then made his way into the studio with me soon after.
TOMBOY at STUSSY, by ANGELO BAQUE 2001
(when my JORDAN 3’s were still crispy and not looking like i kick rocks for a living like now)
by ANGELO BAQUE, 2002
*he used to say “you’re my female muse and OSCAR is my male muse”.
*the side shot i so frequently flash is due to this man…blame him! it might have been actually invented right at this shot.
++++++++++
aside from being a super talented visionary, he’s also creative director at SUPREME, a fun uncle and a great friend.
*ME and ANGELO in 2002, before my 2 finger name ring was stolen from me at gun point. then, later replaced by the now familiar 3 finger name ring 
*ME (wearing ANGELO’s hat), ANGELO and SEAN KELLING…after working at STUSSY we would sneak our way into super exclusive parties. it was a good time…
++++++++++
fast forward to a couple days ago, ANGELO invited me and some friends for portraits…we haven’t lose our chemistry!
behind the scenes…
*good to see you back at it friend…we still got it!
