here’s a thread of photos I’ve shot, with no context, ‘cause why not?

finally got to witness what the @ygofficialblink phenomenon is all about 😳 #BLACKPINKxCoachella_D1

- kill this love - #blackpink #BLACKPINKxCoachella_D1 #Coachella2019

All Love Found. @JoeBudden & @Cyn_Santana

if the cops say my name, bitch I’m IGOR! - @tylerthecreator #GovBallNYC

hey remember when you'd post to @instagram and literally everyone that followed you got to see it on their timeline? those were the days.

Being a music photographer: 10% shooting 20% editing 70% trying to convince security that you actually belong there just wanna do your job.

Yesterday I attended the dopest party I’ve ever been to. The @JoeBudden pool party: a thread. #JoeBuddenPoolParty

Me: oh wow I’m so proud of this art I made, let me share it with my peers IG algorithm:

so, so happy for these two. here are some favorites from our announcement shoot today. congrats @JoeBudden & @Cyn_Santana!

Worked my ass off in photography for 10+ years so people could tell me how “lucky” I am today. In a few years, they’ll call me “lucky” all over again. (hint: it’s not luck.)

Sony A7RII announced-42.4 mp, 5-axis stabilization, 4k vid, improved shutter (silent mode)! Dreams do come true.

the culture wouldn’t be the same without these two. @JoeBudden x @cthagod

Happy Father’s Day to my guy @JoeBudden — you’ve come a long way since those Mood Musik days. Proud of you, man.

Who’s the best performer in the game right now? @AndersonPaak & the @freenationalsXX, hands down. I dare you to watch this and tell me any different. 🤯 Ps. This video also contains the greatest WHOA of all time. #andersonpaak #freenationals #whoa

Quiet as kept, Russ has raised almost $400k towards BLM orgs. Salute that man.

it’s @parksmusic day. happy born day good sir, thank you for making my favorite music & podcast sound so good 🙌🏼

that feel when you’re the #1 podcast on @Spotify!!! congrats to the content lords, I’m so proud of the squad 😩🙌🏼 @JoeBudden @parksmusic @thisisrory @MAL___ @Ian_Schwartzman

My hero died yesterday . It happened so suddenly, in a flash. I cannot believe it still, it’s like I’m in the worst possible nightmare imaginable. I got a call from my brother at 2am last night saying she wasn’t feeling well. The asthma had kicked in again. The fucking asthma. How many times did I tell her to go get it checked out? They took her to the hospital where they could not stabilize her vitals. She went so fast. I wish I could’ve gotten to talk to her one more time and tell her I loved her. I wish I called her more. I wish I hugged her more. When I finally got to the hospital, she had already left us. I grabbed her hands and hugged her so tight. She had just done her nails, one of them had a reindeer on it, she was so excited for this Christmas. The one thing I can’t get over is her smell. Her image lives on through photos and videos and so does her voice, but what about her smell? She smelled like home — like protection — like my mother. There’s no way to bottle that up. I hope I never forget it. My whole family was there to say goodbye. It was a surreal scene to see my big family all surrounding her body, all crying, all in shock. She was the strongest of us all. Our rock. She always said she’d live well into her hundreds, and I believed it. I know the universe knows its ways and things don’t always make sense but man… I could have never foreseen this. My family and I are as resilient as it gets, we have been through so much to get here, but this hurts like nothing I’ve ever felt. My mom lived every single day to the fullest. She hated sitting around, she needed to be active, she needed to be helping. She helped everyone she met. It’s where I get it from. The measure of a good life is how many people you leave a positive impact on, and her impact on those she met is immeasurable. Thousands of people. In Venezuela. In the US. Accepting she’s not here in the physical form will be the biggest challenge of my life, but I know she’s with me, with us, in essence, forever. I am going to miss everything about her. These last few years she began to leave us messages all the time telling us how proud she was. Of me. Of my sister and my brother. She never let a chance to show her support pass. If you were my friend and knew I loved you, she followed you and became your biggest fan too. I am going to miss everything about her.

not gonna lie, calling it ‘the roni’ makes me feel a little better about the whole thing

how I feel when I mint NFTs straight from the contract

Life as a freelance photographer: 10% shooting 20% culling/editing 15% reading through contracts 55% CHASING DOWN CLIENTS FOR OUTSTANDING INVOICES

This Thursday, March 3rd, I will become (maybe the first?) Venezuelan photographer to sell art at @Sothebys. For sure the first Venezuelan NFT artist to do so. This is ‘Kinesthesia’, a thread. 🧵

I’m sorry but I will NEVER ask my audience what they want to see more of. You gon’ get whatever art I want to make — no more, no less.

Oh Me Oh My @djsnake #coachella

Ah! So excited to be heading to the #CitiSoundVault concerts this week in NYC -- I’ll be catching @30SECONDSTOMARS, @TheNational, @Eminem, @DonaldGlover , @davematthewsbnd & @TimReynoldsTR3 at the iconic @IrvingPlaza! Tweet back & let me know if you're gonna be around 😉 #ad

never forget that the end goal is happiness and peace of mind for you and your loved ones.

the mission’s just getting started. happy birthday to my guy, the mood god @JoeBudden! it’s been an absolute honor to capture so many memorable moments these past 10+ years. we still got a lot of work to do though. this next decade is ours.

People who never supported me, shared any of my work, ignored all my blockchain talk, and barely looked my way over the span of my career: “Hey dude! Wow long time no talk, so awesome to see everything you’re doing! Was wondering if I could pick your brain about NFTs sometime?”

I WAS NOT READY TO BE BLESSED BY THE GOD KEVIN PARKER TODAY

i thought nft space was supposed to be full of nerds how tf can everyone party so hard 🥴🥴🥴

Hey friends. I have my first solo drop on @niftygateway tomorrow. I’ve been a photographer for most of my life, and this drop showcases some of the most pivotal moments and photos that I’ve ever captured. “Lost in the Moments”, tomorrow at 6:30 pm. I hope you can join me.

I promise you the outtakes for this are some of the most hilarious pictures I've ever shot 😭

them @JoeBuddenPod boyzz #JoeBuddenPoolParty

Made it to @YahooFinance with my art. Check out this dope piece on my collab drop with @ThankYouX on @niftygateway tomorrow! 2021, the year of the NFT. Don’t say I didn’t tell you. finance.yahoo.com/news/photo…

of course @JoeBudden had to get on his r&b bag #joebuddenpoolparty

idk who needs to hear this today but Slaughterhouse’s “On the House” mixtape is a mf’ing classic, one of the most underrated mixtapes EVER.

Celebrate life. Celebrate friends. Happy birthday @JoeBudden! It’s always an honor to document these milestones, thank you always for trusting me. 🙌🏼

few more shots from the @JoeBudden x @BigSean Pull Up episode. this episode is all gems, don’t miss out.

Another goal is to share more of my work. I share less than one percent of what I shoot on social media. With that said, here’s a thread of some photos I shot today. (12.23.19) #jnsilva

this kid’s got insane talent, he’s been grinding and putting out heat for years now. would be CRAZY if you did a collab w him! So much raw talent in the 🇻🇪 hoods piped.video/0zhA28G_N-c?si=OlL7…

one of the things I’m proudest of in my photography career is the vast amount of alley oops I’ve thrown to the squad. thriving alone is cool, but bringing the squad along is legendary.

I don’t know how they did it, but @SonyAlpha managed to make a 12-24mm GM lens with continous 2.8 aperture. It’s a thing of beaty. I got the chance to test it out this weekend, here are some of my images!

I hope you find some peace of mind in this lifetime 🎶 @kendricklamar for @GovBallNYC

The music industry treats photographers & videographers like pure shit. Unless you’re working directly with the artist, it’s constant disrespect. I LOVE music but it’s a big part of the reason I prob won’t do music photos much longer.

Being a photographer is fucking awesome. That’s the tweet.

I’m so proud, I could shed a tear. My guy @JoeBudden’s all over the web today! For anyone who’s been a fan as long as I have, it’s been a long time coming, and there’s no one more deserving. We doin’ big things this year 🙌🏼 nytimes.com/2018/08/22/nyreg…

I held my mother’s hand for one last time today. Her last outfit on this earth was a dress I got her in Japan a few months ago. She had been waiting for the perfect occasion to wear it. She looked so beautiful, so radiant, even now. She left us with a peaceful smile on her face. I’m going to miss her so much.

‘Infinitum’, a 🧵 My newest photography collection is releasing tomorrow on @niftygateway and I have never been prouder of a body of work of mine.

Sending much love to all my fellow creatives who depend on events like @sxsw and @coachella to make a living. Been a rough few weeks for us but like @neilhimself said, when it all hits the fan, all we can do is make good art. So let’s do just that.

Whenever I log onto twitter dot com and see @JoeBudden trending

We’re really pulling out all the stops on this one!! Wheat paste + AR preview of our drop on April 28th @REALDJPREMIER x @madebyanimus @BlnkSocial the 3D/AR warlock with @ShillMoon on the video edit 🙌🏼

- Oro, Mar, y Sangre - 🇻🇪 My genesis piece on @SuperRare is live and open for bids. This piece speaks to a topic that has pervaded my life ever since I was a child — the political & social crisis in the country I was born, my beautiful Venezuela. 🧵🪡 bit.ly/3fHQqCs

to the realest: may this next orbit bring even more growth, even more success, and even more unforgettable memories. i hope i’m there to capture it all. appreciate you more than you know @JoeBudden, happy born day 🤘🏼

A Moment Apart / Just a Memory. @odesza #coachella #Coachella2018

Gained an immense respect for @russdiemon after sitting in on his convo w. @JoeBudden for the latest ep. of “The Pull Up.” He spoke about trusting your talent, pursuing goals with perseverance, and using negativity hurled your way as fuel to outwork competition. (Photos by me)

Alright that’s all y’all, signing off. (Still got like 600 more shots but they might not be safe for twitter.) Thanks again to @JoeBudden for one of the funnest nights in recent memory. The #JoeBuddenPoolParty exceeded legendary expectations once again. 🤘🏼 RT if you enjoyed!

A legendary show for any @JoeBudden fan.

New episode of the “Pull Up” out today. @JoeBudden x @Wale go at it in a spar of wits. Go watch that! ⚡️ (bts photos by me of course)

Once again it’s ON. The next chapter in the saga. We’re so damn proud of this one. @ThankYouX x @JNSilva_ March 11th, on @niftygateway.

gm 🫡✨ took me a while but finally joined the horde. @Deadfellaz #5790, welcome home buddy 💀 (I’m gonna need that leather jacket swag soon @betty_nft!)

This time of year the sunrise lines up with the cross streets in the city, bathing everything in gorgeous golden light. I call it the reverse Manhattanhenge. Here’s a thread with some photos.

It sounds simple enough: just pay attention. #nyc

I am once again EMOTIONAL. To anyone that supported and collected our art, THANK YOU. @ThankYouX and I will never ever forget this. We’re so excited for the future of this community. 💛💙❤️

Still one of my favorite NFTs MF DOOM FOREVER opensea.io/assets/0xfbeef911…

they said I couldn't bring my "professional" camera in, so I shot these on my point & shoot. (@Sony rx100 V). @kendricklamar | #tHEDAMNTOUR

someone stop me please @ParallelNFT

foggy nights in the city. #nyc

A few weeks ago I got an email from @Spotify. They said they were working on a project w. @JoeBudden & needed photos for marketing. “Joe said he wouldn’t work with anyone but you.” FF to now, and my photos are all over this press release. 🙏🏼 newsroom.spotify.com/2018-08…

Be Yourself. Frank Ocean / @PanoramaNYC

an actual spiritual experience. @odesza for @GovBallNYC

“wow you’re a freelancer? you have the life”

Extremely excited to FINALLY have joined the @coolcatsnft gang today after hesitating for so long (I’m sorry) This guy’s got the beard, the scowl, is half blind, and has an apple (I was a teacher so it’s symbolic). He’s perfect for me. 🥺

immaculate vibes as the sun set — also caught @JoeBudden actually in the pool (for those that think he never goes in) #JoeBuddenPoolParty

🚨Disclaimer: don’t expect me to be a photography niche account. If you follow me, you’re getting me — that includes music, memes, politics, blockchain, sports, and whatever tf I’m interested in at the moment. I contain multitudes breh 🧠

This is the most important piece I’ve ever made and I am so, so proud to share it with you all. Releasing on @Sothebys, soon.

Happy holidays to everyone but ESPECIALLY this guy

and of course, there were a lot of really beautiful humans in attendance... #JoeBuddenPoolParty

one of the greatest rappers of all time was born today. happy born day to the absolute legend @kendricklamar.

Over ten years in the photography game and you’d be amazed at how many times I leave my house with a camera and no memory card 😭

#DAMN. the world needs more @kendricklamar.

ya boy finally got on the pod to talk all things NFT 🤘🏼 thanks for having me @JoeBudden, @parksmusic, @thisisrory, @MAL___

🗣 THE CHAMP IS HERE!! What a fight. What a time. Congrats king @RookieXBT!

just walking around vol. 001

before I go on — I finally got to meet and briefly chop it up with the LEGENDARY @Young_Guru!! highlight of my day 🙏🏼 #JoeBuddenPoolParty

when they tell me to realize my losses for tax harvesting

first order of business is always making sure the fam is captured properly #JoeBuddenPoolParty

WHO DAT BOY — @tylerthecreator / #PanoramaNYC

Yesterday I was lucky enough to rip open the very first @ParallelTCG physical pack ever. What a feeling. I pulled an all Marcolian deck — here’s a little sneak peek! We simply love the cards. //

a lot of people talk community this and community that. not many are actually about it.

this photo should go in the history books.

found a Pocket Dimension in the streets of Lagos what’s going on @ParallelNFT? 😳

Backstage at the #latinbillboards2019 for @SomosVevo — w. @Anitta, @iambeckyg, @NiogarciaC & @RAULINRODRIGUE5 👐🏼

We even sang @JoeBudden an early happy bday! (the cake has my photo on it 😭) (also peep the Ace of Spades 🤯)

Two hours till my first solo NFT drop! “Lost in the Moments” 6:30pm on @niftygateway. 3 packs. 5 auctions with prints. 1 of 1 with a camera/lens package and personal photography lessons. Let’s do this.

this thread is so beautiful 😭♥️

Naming this episode the “Podparazzi” is CRAZY lol. Got me another pod cover though lfg! 😁📸

*at an art event* Random: “dude SO rad to meet you! Love your work, you stay killin’ it fam” Me: “ah tysm I appreciate that 🥴” R: *pulls out phone, shows me account* **was not following me** “this is my work I’ma hit you w a follow now, you gonna get me back right?” Me:

To all my nyc creatives: don’t for a second think this is your only opportunity to capture a desolate city. This whole series was shot months/years ago. #StayAtHome and I promise you’ll have a chance to get images like these without endangering others once this is all over.
