Through a series of chemical reactions in our atmosphere, the protons drastically diminished the upper-most areas of the ozone layer, a protective blanket mostly in the stratosphere that blocks life-threatening ultraviolet radiation from reaching the Earth. This shower of protons, known by solar science insiders as the Bastille Day event, was the third largest of its kind in the last 30 years."

BROOKLYN DIARIES :: cat walk

So it happens that I've been putting out a request into the universe to connect me with a photographer, who would commemorate the part of Brooklyn that I used to call home...the answer came in the form of Paris-based photographer, <a href="http://noorone.blogspot.com/">Noor One</a>, who has reached out to me that she wanted to take some shots of me while visiting New York City. I'm all about building with other artists, plus I love her work, so it was a wrap after that. We had a great connect and did a fun shoot while walking around Crown Heights/ Bedstuy, Brooklyn. A full feature on her & on the rest of the shoot is coming up, but I wanted to share some of the photos now. We also have a collabo coming up as well. Check out <a href="http://noorbfb.carbonmade.com/">her website</a> for more.<div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><em>This one is now of the past. I had an intuition that I had to capture it before it was gone. Thank you, Noor.</em></div><div align="center"><img src="http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q202/licsi777/Lichiban-UpInTehSkymural.jpg" width="500 px" /><br /></div><div align="center"><img src="http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q202/licsi777/Noor-Lichiban1.jpg" width="500 px" /><img src="http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q202/licsi777/Noor-Lichiban2.jpg" width="500 px" /></div><div align="center"><em>[belt by G4, necklace & magic tale courtesy of Yah of saint yacque, both designers can be found on <a href="http://cocolah.storesecured.com/">COCOLAH.com</a>. check out the store, there is a 30 % off sale is going on right now</em>]</div>
