I took this photo at the Flight Club NYC on Greene Street but they have since opened a new store on 120 Nassua Street just south of the Brooklyn Bridge. If you haven't been and your a Jordan junky like me do yourself a favor and go and if you have been ...maybe you bought a pair of my kicks and their on your feet right now!

Blizzard 06'


Blizzard 06', originally uploaded by Kenny Rodriguez.

Being that it was 65'F just yesterday here in Brooklyn in JANUARY mind you! I wanted to share the moment with you when I new global warming was already happening. It snowed 26.9 inches in 24 hours and during the snow storm their was thunder and lightning...thunder and lightning during a snow storm? So after all that snow, thunder and lightning the 26.9 inches melted away in about 3 days.

Remember Snow?


Basketball at Dawn, originally uploaded by Kenny Rodriguez.

I had this idea in my head for years so when I knew the snow was coming I got ready. The next morning I set out at about 5:30am in the worst blizzard conditions I can remember and froze my balls off. The only problem I have with this photo is that you can't tell how deep the snow was. I only saw one other person out besides me and they're in the photo above. It snowed a total of 26.9 inches with thunder and lightning. Odd for a snow storm.

Photographers at The Apollo

December 28th, 2006 James Brown's last visit to The Apollo. All the photographers had to stay on the second level but fortunately for me I was working with Spike Lee's film crew for the James Brown feature film

Cigar and a Wig


Cigar and a Wig, originally uploaded by Kenny Rodriguez.

I jumped out of a cube truck and then ran 2 blocks up 8th avenue to get in front of him to snap a shot but then he turned around and went the other direction so I ran a block ahead to snap it. I normally ask permission to take a picture of someone but this dude was out there and out of it. It was like 98 degrees out and he's wearing all black, a long sleeve shirt and this wig puffing his cigar that isn't lit.

I'm a HUSTLA, I'M A, I'M A, I'M A, HUSTLA BABY!

Body on the Train


Body on the Train, originally uploaded by Kenny Rodriguez.

I'm with my wife waiting for the train, jump on and turn around and see this body wrapped in a white blanket. My initial reaction was amusement but then I started to wonder if that was a dead body. So I stared and stared and finally noticed that the person was breathing. So for me their are two ways to look at this...either it's the smartest thing to do to get sleep on the train of the dumbest because if someone thinks your dead or is just freaked out by the person wrapped in a sheet look they wont bother you but if someone thinks your dead and go and call the cops...you will be rudely interupted
