I WASN'T PARTICULARLY EXCITED WHEN NIKE IN JOHANNEBSURG TOLD ME THAT I WOULD BE DOING A PHOTOSHOOT WITH SOME AMERICAN PHOTOGRAPHER, BUT THAT WAS BEFORE I KNEW WHO SHAWN WAS AND WHAT HE WAS ABOUT. THAT WAS BEFORE i MET SOMEONE WHO IN MANY WAYS BECAME MY IDOL.
FROM THAT POINT TO THIS, SHAWN GREW IN MY LIFE TO BE AN ENEGIZER, INSPIRATION, SUPPORTIVE VOICE, BIG BROTHER, HOMEY AND TEACHER...JOKER, PRANKSTER, GANGSTER!
I WAS GREATLY SADDENED THIS WEEK TO LEARN THAT THE BIG BROTHER AND HOMEY HAS PASSED. HAVING MET HIM BRIEFLY (A 3 DAY SHOOT IN JOBURG) AND CONTINUED COMMUNICTAION, HE BECAME A REAL MOTIVATING FORCE TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE THE PLANET.
IN HIS WORDS, *DUDE, I ASPIRE TO be 'IN IT TO WIN IT' every time!!*
BELOW ARE SOME PICS FROM A SHOOT WE DID TOGETHER IN JOHANNESBURG IN OCTOBER 2008...AND THE VIDEO HE DIRECTED.
