The other night i got a chance to video chat with a buddy of mine who's been in Chicago for a while now. Johnny, a copywriter, and i went to school together in Miami and then abroad in Hamburg, DE. This fucker's still one of the funniest dudes i know.
We had a great time in Germany, of course. I was then 21yrs old, living in another country for the first time, and bunking with a seasoned drinker from Buffalo, NY. uh-oh.
Here are some highlights of what i still deem my 'Coming Of Age' period.
We lived in a studio apartment, our landlord hated us (she even accused us of throwing beer bottles off of our balcony), and we had NO wifi.
I forgot what bet i lost but i got the inflatable for 3mos.
...all we ate was chicken breast (butter fried), potatoes, and bier. Oh, and sometimes pasta. Constipation was rampant.
Some weekends i ventured off with a buddy's camera.
This is still one of my favorite photos:
This is Mia, the 'other' fellow American from Miami Ad School. We held Hamburg's very first Bus Olympics.
Im always missing Hamburg.....and i NEVER made it to Berlin (next year, next year). The experience was invaluable to my design education and my drinking stamina.
win/win.

Brooklyn Stand Up!
Oh, Brooklyn Brooklyn. I love you so.
When we got back to our neighborhood we found ourselves in a borough-wide block party. We bumped into tons of buddies..."Congratulations, man!"....."Yes We Did!"....."Holy Shit!!"....
We then tumbled over to Mike & Maya's for more group hugs and Bama-Brownies.
Check out these amazing pics below. Photographer Stanley Lumax did a primo job capturing the moments of the night in Fort Greene.
Make sure to peep more of his work from the night H E R E. Also, his solid portfolio @ StoneFacePhotography.
BK All Day,
