Description
During a photoshoot for Homegrown Records in an east vancouver alley way, this dude rolled up on his bike and started rapping. I photographed his freestyle session then gave him a few bucks for his preformance. Just another interesting charector from the east van streets.I found a video of this guy rapping on youtube, I couldnt get the link to work but search for :
The Crazy Bike Helmet Freestyle Rapper

Another great photograph. Did you manage to capture this shot by timing or did you ask him to hold a certain pose...?

this shot was while he was holding a little pose at the end of his rap. he was so involved with his rapping i dont even think he knew i was taking his picture.

amazing shot. I love those stories behind photos like this. It makes the shot so much more real knowing that this wasn't posed. It's an actual capture of real-life events. Rock on.

It's funny - many images in your gallery have this cold overcast tone. Is that the weather in Vancouver all the time?

yeah its been overcast everyday that i've been shooting lately, would be nice to have some more light. All my pics shot in jpeg my computers to slow for raw.

oh, i see. thanks for the explanation then. i do, however, recommend raw. it changes the perspective of phototaking, really. my computer's too slow for that too, even worse - photoshop messes up its scratch files with my heavily fragmented drive, so i can expect an abrupt shutdown everytime i use it to do some batch operations. but heck - it's still worth it. some photos would be just totally wasted if it wasn't for raw.

I remember this guy!! I was on my way to the queen E and he kept asking me and my friends if we wanted any words redefined...
