Sorry for the delay in almost a week since my last posting! I have been extremely sick with bronchitis, an ear infection and a sinus infection – all at once! It hit me Sunday night and by Monday morning, I felt like death warmed over. Thank goodness for CVS Minute Clinic! Today is the first time I’ve been able to stay awake more than a few hours without being exhausted, so I thought I’d post some photographs from this weekend. I appreciate everyone wishing me well – I’m slowly feeling a little better. It’s going to take a few more days of being in bed to be at 100% again, but I’m grateful it’s better than earlier this week!

And now – onto the good stuff!  Brian Manigo is a new up-and-coming R&B/hip-hop artist who is looking at busting into the scene with his music. His new album, Soulhood, should be released soon. He writes, produces, and sings, among other things! Quite a talent! We met in downtown Columbia to photograph promotional shots early Saturday morning. We had a great time, and I was able to get some amazing photographs! Here is just a sample of the many shots we took!

The security guard inside this building downtown was nice enough to let me get a few shots in before we were officially kicked out. It’s ok – I’m willing to trespass for a good photo! (Until they tell me to go away… hehehe)

Every hip-hop artist needs a pretty girl to back him up! We found one, and took advantage of the awesome area around the house! 🙂
