Avant Garde Productions
This year me and Jordan aka @OffGarde decided to join forces and start our own Production company called Avant Garde. A joint venture combining our Photography, Videography, Editing, and Marketing skills to better service our exclusive clientele. Jordan being a walking, talking extension cord plugged in with the who’s who around the city and me working the behind the scenes operations, I see this production company making major waves in the upcoming months.
GoonMilkTV vol.25 “I Survived 2020”
I set a few goals for 2020 and looking back at this Recap I literally crushed every single one of them two-three times over. 2021 will be even greater because if you can survive everything 2020 threw at you, you can withstand anything. Literally the worst year the world has seen in the last 50 years, more deaths than any war the world has seen, Global warming, Kobe, Aliens, Trump, Police Brutality, Covid, Wild Fires, Tsunamis, Twin Hurricanes at the same time, the Election… It was all bad. But the motto is Getting Out Of Negative Situations so that’s exactly what I did. Made lemonade out of Lemons, a way out of nothing, and documented every step of the way.
Let that boy Cook!
Every Blue Moon
2020 has definitely been a movie but nobody said it’d be a Horror Thriller. Spent my Halloween home on the couch, Covid setting record highs this week, Two shootings in Waldorf and College Park of all places kept me from venturing out for any trouble this year, respectfully. I did manage to catch the New “Blue Moon” we got Saturday, I guess thats a silver lining to the weirdest halloween weekend of my life. No costume, No Candy, Not one Trick or Treaters, and I probably was sleep by 11.
GoonMilkTV vol.24 Summer Summary
Shoutout to everyone that helped not only keep me sane through all of this, but taught me valuable lessons I needed to learn through trial and fire. Proud of every move I made.
#100Projects
Last Saturday I had the chance to shoot a charity flag football event #100Projects “Tackling the Digital Divide” thrown by my good friend Myrtis, creator of #100Projects and hosted by XFL wide receiver of the Washington Defenders, AJ Hendy. I also donated 30 shirts towards the event and the cause; providing learning tablets and laptops to underprivileged DC public school kids.
GoonMilkTV vol.22 Family Matters
Last week Zel and Aja invited me to come get some shots and footage of the family as they take their annual trip to Deep Creek Lake, Maryland. A much needed week of relaxation after my Birthday and a break from everything back home. I appreciate my family as huge as it is on both sides. I wouldn’t be the man I am today without the support and encouragement from my Family and friends.

My second videography gig was a vibe! The Rose Garden brought to you by Hookah Kese and Sounds by DJ Loud.
The Yacht Party
My first gig with the Sony 6400 was a few weeks ago for the Homie Chef Charisma and her folk’s 50th Birthday Yacht Party on the Potomac. Charisma provided the brunch buffet. It was a boat full of good vibes and plenty champagne. I couldn’t believe how full of life and good Mrs. Jarvalin looked for her 50th Birthday! We all had an amazing time blasting gogo, cruising from the Fort Washington Marina to the National Harbor and back. I wanted to rent a boat and do this in miami but the YT Pipo in Miami don’t like to rent to the negroes
Slime SZN
With everything going on in a black man’s head these days it shouldn’t be a question as to why one would risk his life for a vacation… we risking our lives any other day might as well spend it on a beach with a beautiful woman and a blunt. And truth be told I enjoyed every second of it, yeah it was risky, yeah the numbers went up, yeah they closed the strip clubs back up, but nonetheless I ate/drank/smoked good, saw things I always wanted to check out, and spent it with people I care for and care for me. Shoutout B and Brandee for the hospitality, and a big thank you to Big Kota for just riding with a nigga, you guys made the trip worthwhile! Got some great footage and gonna make a movie out of it all soon…
The Negro Kickball Association
Few weeks ago my bro @Shmev0 aka “Birdbox Brown” came up with an idea to throw a kickball game for the gang to link and have a lil fun during this pandemic. Basketball courts closed, nothing but open fields so we switched up the sport and still Balled on these niggas lol
Would You Just Accept it If we Murdered your Children?
This weekend the entire world has erupted in Protest against the egregious acts of not only our Law enforcement, but our President, and Racism as a whole. I spent it walking the walk and talking the talk with my people in protest and documenting everything in our nations capital, Washington DC . The media will try to portray this as anarchy and mayhem, which it was, but there was a lot of love and compassion for those being wronged and standing up for themselves in a system that has continuously held them under a bending knee. The feeling of togetherness, family, and raw emotion from so many different creeds of people at one time was a vibe you could never create and Im proud of every single person that came out and continues to cry out for the rights and just treatment of all people but specifically Black people in America. We built this country and most certainly can tear it down! Im still rooting for whoever looting! they side eye us when we come in their stores, refuse to hire us, won’t stand with us and use the stores as a shelter for aiding protesters, but Im supposed to put a business with insurance for these type of things priority over human life? NAH. Take this L America and do right by the people who fuel this country or watch it burn, fuck it Im riding wit mines…

Paying Homage
When I was a Freshman in college at 18 I saw Morgan State as a fashion show everyday as people wore their best outfits to 8am classes, hair done, make up beat, and I just couldn’t fathom putting that much focus on looks at the time cause I was an Engineering Major flooded with math courses. So I said fuck it Im gonna stick to the basics and load up on Polo Tees to stay fresh. A fresh tee everyday for maybe like 4 months.
E-Scent-Chew
First and foremost prayers up to our essential workers in this pandemic carrying the whole country on their back. This Coronavirus has produced some of the wildest circumstances and occurrences that I’ve ever seen in my 31 years. Crackhead Boxing Matches for money, IG live is actual television, People can’t sit still, The Beaches are opening but not the Barber shops and Salons… Sorry I haven’t posted anything in a while I’ve honestly just been keeping my head down, working, minding my business, and trying to keep my mind off all this madness. I bought a new camera and thats really all my mind has been on; where i’m gonna shoot, who, how I’m gonna edit it, just learning how to create in a new art form, not really new to me but with my first professional camera of my own..
