2008-08-28T14:25:00.000-07:00

.......after 2 weeks that has felt like a month on the road. I refuse to complain, i must adjust. Because im determined for this to be a way of life, which it needs to be to be succesful with all im trying to accomplish. Anyways, i might do a full post later when i get pictures back. But for now. Oh yea i was in chicago for 3 days for work. Thanks to Gene, Neil, Dlight, Justin, and Vince for taking me to downtown area to celebrate my bday and see the most amazing mcdonalds EVER!! It was like a night club with hot girls!! And for 4 days i was in Vegas for Magic show, where i got the picture above while luckily walking in on a T.I. performance at the Ed Hardy Show.

At the dimepiece Party @ Ghostbar. Props to Laura and Ash for a succesful and fun party, Also happy Bday Laura, and Thanks to Alex at IM KING (www.im-king.com) for the shirt.

Kanye West - Good Morning Video.....

2008-08-26T10:26:00.000-07:00

All i can say is, this is a refreshing video! I love the concept, the animation, but its something alot of people can relate too. Very humble. I also love that Kanye is dropping alot of videos for songs on his album in an artistic manner. Not for sales or mainstream hype. Hip-Hop needs more of this. Urban Culture needs more of this. This is not cookie cutter.

Nike - The Five Video by 13thWitness

2008-08-23T00:11:00.000-07:00

Pretty damn good music quality, and the video editing, give this video character. Once again Nike and the people they pick to work with, really motivate me when it comes to marketing and creativity!

They should be fired, and whoever mentioned its not ok, should be hired!!! Niggerdom at its finest. *frowns*

Hero "P"

2008-08-13T01:14:00.000-07:00

In a response to my earlier blog about wanting to be known for Preston. I went to my lil cousins myspace, who i haven't talked to in a minute. I guess i have been a little too busy. Shame on me. But she doesnt care. She still loves me the same. She is like a lil sister to me not really a cousin. Shes a beautiful young adult that i hope finds her way in this world. Sometimes i need to be there for her more. But back to the point of this story......... I went to her page to see out of her thousand plus friends i was number one on her friends list. That means something still. And on her limited pictures theres a folder that says "My favorite things" and the album cover is a picture me and her took this year when i went to CLEVELAND after not seeing each other for over 5 years.

but what really touched me and inspired this blog is when i went on her page and i noticed in the section "Heros", there was just one thing. The letter "P". Thats not for Pkasso, thats not for Pworld. She sees all of that as Preston.

I love you Iman, you keep me going and staying focused. I never want to let you down as your HERO.

Alicia Sacramone newest fan.......

2008-08-13T01:11:00.001-07:00

Centered is Alicia Sacramone. My crush started on the night she crumbled and caused the US to loose the team gold and settle for silver. Ok shes cute to me. Almost 21, Educated at Brown University. All thats nice. But what really turned me on, was when she made the most embarassing errors in the games *falling in 2 seperate routines*, she did not cry. She looked pissed. But she held her composure!! Wow thats a strong woman right there!! Oh on a side night. the girl on the right, Shawn Johnson is ill!!! That girl is incredible at only 16. I was amazed by how good she is. Ok my "sissy" moment is over.

Peace

Sometimes i just want to be known as PRESTON in whole...

2008-08-10T21:22:00.000-07:00

It has been a while since i have really been personal on this blog. That's some what the purpose of this blog. To show all sides of me. Random or deep. Lately i have been feeling a pressure or tension with no real avenue of relieving it. And i have to remember that even though public. My blog is my journal or my own little way of speaking to the world, when they want to listen on there own terms. With that said.......

They say "be careful what you ask for". I always asked that one day i could be recognized for my talents and ambition. I could be heard and express myself, and the world recieve it. Well i guess i am realizing that i'm getting what i asked for. My photography is starting to gain attention and rave reviews. Its a blessing and a flattering situation. At first i thought it would be cool to have a bunch of hot girls wanting to hang around you or give there attention to you. But at times i'm starting to hate it. Because you realize a lot of it is because of this talent they can benefit from. Everybody gathers around you to benefit from your talent. It is a business, it is a hustle. You have to stay focused and seperate it from the pleasure. But i'm at a point in my life where the majority of my time and dedication is being around the business side of life. That's when it gets difficult. Because nothing around you feels real anymore. Nothing feels genuine. The relationships you have with people are from creative attraction. People stay in touch with you not because of the person you are. But because of what you do. As much as we can say the personality behind the talent means a lot in terms of chemistry and such, I have to wonder. If i dropped this camera today, walked away from photography or if i walked away from Function and Form. Who would still genuinely, truely, give a fuck about me? Who would still want to hang out as much, talk as much, get to know me?

My guess would be only about 10-15 percent of the people i know involved with all the things i do. Most people would say "who cares?". Well i guess in a way , deep down i do. I always told myself that no matter where i go in life, or the experiences i have, i want to remember who i am, where i came from and whats important to me. My values. How i was raised. My parents and support group as a kid, raised me to be a person that genuinely cares about people. I was raised to have an open mind. I was raised to be supportive and loyal. And i find that in anything i do, its important to me to keep these values as much as possible. But in reality a lot of these values just don't fit in the industries i'm in, or the life i live. So you just find yourself lost. Feeling that you cannot truely be yourself. You have to put on this character to deal with the industry or politics of it all. People know me for Pkasso, People know me as Pworld. But a lot of people miss out on Preston. On the flip side........There are people who know me as Preston but have no idea about who Pworld or Pkasso is. So they tend to lack some respect, or understanding of the person they are dealing with.

Alot of people like to title themselves as the underdog or the victim. A lot of times i feel under appreciated. Because a lot of people assume by what they see on the surface but have no idea what i deal with day to day, the struggles. Mentally, spiritually, physically, etc. Trying to put a company on the map in an industry where the odds are against you if you don't have millions of dollars and nobody knows your name. Trying to show the world and make the world respect a passion i have, when nobody even knew i had a passion for it and didn't acknowledge it. And venturing into new area's and dreams in my life. I suck it up a lot. I don't complain, i walk away from a lot of situations where i want to get frustrated because that person doesn't realize all i have on my plate. They only see the aspect of my life that benefits them. And they probably don't care what else is on my plate. Its a cut throat world out here......

But at times i want to escape. I want to disappear, where nobody can ask me about a picture, nobody can ask me about a suspension, or a beat, or to be there for them to talk too. or to make them feel better. I want to take control back and say "no its not about what you want, its about me, i'm taking away everything you feel i have to offer you and lets see if you still care." I want to say, fuck your pictures, fuck your car, fuck what your going thru. Shut up, and listen to what i want what i'm going thru and how are you going to help me out!!. Its funny alot of people, if i asked them for the same favors i do for them, i wouldn't get half the effort. If i wanted half of the thoughtful efforts that i have for others i would be dissapointed. Maybe i just need to find a way to really disappear. See who appreciates what and how they show it *shrugs*.

Stay blessed.

You Gonna Let That Ride???

Top 5 things i love about this new Hands Free Headset Law

2008-07-14T16:39:00.000-07:00

Well in California, you cant be caught with your handsful while driving. You must have your hands free. As a black man i'm always ready to have my hands free when the cops pull me over. But i guess that's not the same thing. (it almost had me fooled for a second). They are talking about hands free of our phones. So at first i hated this idea. But now that i pulled my hello moto bluetooth from under my couch, and started using it. I have come across some benefits. So here are my top 5 reasons i'm happy about this change.

5. I can now get out and pump gas with 2 hands while on the phone.
4. I can now be on the phone and drive a manual transmission car like 007.
3. I look important with the earpiece
2. I can kill less braincells from radiation
1. I CAN NOW TALK SHIT IN PEOPLES FACE AND PLAY IT OFF LIKE I'M TALKING ON THE PHONE!!

p.s What i hate about them? I keep walking out of my car in the middle of the convo and forgetting the phone. Then cant remember where i put the phone i'm having a conversation on. Opps! left it in the car!

Video From Todays shoot with Rodney.

2008-07-12T19:02:00.000-07:00

Im Working My Black ASS OFF!!

2008-07-11T12:05:00.000-07:00

More stuff i have done this month of July. And alot more coming up soon. I cant even put up half of the stuff im working on until it goes to print or goes live *winks*.

To all my people out there struggling for there art, for what they love , with that passion to be great and get there message across. Im talking eating Ramon Noodles, Barely can put gas in your bucket because you cant afford a new car. All your last dimes going to your passion, etc. Keep grinding. Those just doing it to do it, with no love for the art. Kiss my Ass!!!!!

OhhH Emmmm GEEEEE!!! SL65 Black Series

2008-07-11T11:55:00.000-07:00

I think i just seriously shitted in my pants when i say this. This might be the most aggressive, sickest Mercedes i have ever seen in my life!! I dont even want to know the price tag on this (probably 200-300 grand easily).

That badass car you are looking at on your screen is the spectacular new Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series, revealed here in all its production glory for the first time. This baby will cost a cool $320,000 and will hit 60 mph in less than 3.9 seconds. Just 200 will come to the United States.

Mercedes regards the Black Series as a technology showcase, so you can bet that elements you find here will make their way onto future AMG models. In fact, there are clear indications that the new car will influence the forthcoming SLC, Mercedes’ secret new gullwing coupe and convertible set to reach North America in 2011.

Carbon fiber is used for the hood, fenders, roof and trunk. The 4122-pound SL65 AMG Black Series undercuts the SL65 AMG by an impressive 550 pounds.

A quick glance tells you that this is no a run-of-the-mill AMG model. The exterior has been reworked with emphasis on cooling air reaching the mighty engine. There are seven ducts up front: three in the bumper, two atop the hood and two more in the fenders. There is no folding roof. It is replaced by a fixed one that blends with the rest of the body and incorporates an integral roll cage.

The twin-turbo 6.0-liter V12 has larger turbochargers, a more efficient intercooler and revised exhaust with less back pressure. The three-valve-per-cylinder engine’s output has increased 57 hp, to 661 hp at 5400 rpm. Torque remains at 738 lb-ft. The engine is mated to a beefed-up version of Mercedes’ five-speed automatic transmission, featuring the latest evolution of AMG’s Speedshift software.

Final numbers haven’t been announced yet, but top speed is limited to 199 mph, although the new car is geared to hit 220 mph at the engine’s 6200-rpm cut-out in fifth gear.

Working Working Working ......

2008-07-03T08:37:00.000-07:00

I figured i would put up a few teasers of some stuff that i been keeping busy with this summer. I will say this, im not even putting up the good stuff. Im just putting up stuff im "testing" and experimenting with. I struggled to put this up. But end of summer/fall thing will change drastically. More and more im just dedicating my focus to this photo game. It's more than a check to me. But a picture is worth a thousand words, so i will let my work tell my story until im here no more. Oh and i think me and Danielle (model and make up artist pictured above) are starting to get on a roll. Its crazy how we talk and we will almost say the same idea at the same time. Its hard to find somebody u can start to trust in this game let alone life, so i thank GOD for bringing her in the picture. Maybe its too soon to speak, but right now i got a good feeling bout this young lady. But we will let our work speak for our teamwork. There is plenty more coming *evil laugh*
