The Evolution Of A Man- Isaiah Washington






West Side! Yeah Yeah!!

Yes. I am poppin' my collar, strutting like I was Naomi Campbell on the catwalk, givin' you face like Iman, throwin' money like Diddy....

I just interviewed the one and only legendary Isaiah Washington!!!!! Can you dig it?!! This MAN is BAD A@$# and DOPE!!! He has swagger like WHAT!!! HE may be the original pimp DADDY with a swagger like THAT. He is BRILLIANT, he may be able to re-write the Encyclopedia! He is funny like Bill Cosby and Martin combined. His style is like Tupac meets Tom Ford.  Can you envision that??? Can you imagine if Tupac was styled by Tom Ford????? That is Isaiah Washington naturally. 


Washington's ability to move in front of the camera is so , tick tock, on point we rolled out close to twenty different shots with him.  And was able to conduct a 30 minute interview in less then 8 hours.
He was easy to work with, complained NONE.  Washington was gracious and charming.  The shot's are MONEY MAKING SHOTS!

The interview was definitely African, African-American History 301 Senior, European History 201, Parenting 101, and Life 101.  He speaks with a passion, delivers his message brilliantly and gets the audience thinking.  He recites historical events like they happened yesterday, and I felt like I should have read them in yesterdays New York Times, or saw it on 60 minutes.  The crew stopped all they were doing to gather around to listen to him speak and learn.  Once completed the conversation kept on and if we didn't have to exit the location, La Descarga, which we were granted access to by Mark Houston, one of the two brothers who owned the space, we would have been in the way of opening the celebrated bar.

My crew and I had such a great time with Washington I can't express it to you in English alone.  I may have to pull words from 7 other languages, do some research on 4 because I only know 3 three. He makes you want to sing like Jill Scott!! Her whole first album! This MAN IS EVERYTHING!!! A MAN FROM ANOTHER LAND! HIPP, HIPP, HIPP!! HURRAY!


My team of GREAT MINDS, Frank Ishman, the baddest mother f#$@% photographer on the WEST COAST! Francesca Beniquez kept the face/hair on point. Tiffany Nesson pulled some HAUTE A#@ clothes and Maisie Dunbar brought us gifts to groom him courtesy of BluffaJo and Shea Radiance. 

Thank you GOD! I may not have somethings but I sure have EVERYTHING I EVER EVER WANTED in this life and you still blessing with more. I will take it humbly. Please forgive me for bragging this time. I just couldn't help myself.
