The SportsRadio WIP 2012 Wing Bowl, at the Wells Fargo Center.

The Debauchery,..the Spectacle, when my fellow photog, Al For said, "Tony lets do this gig", I had reservations. First, I have heard about the wing bowl. A bunch of rowdy, beer-fueled human beings, stuffed into the cavernous Wells Fargo Center, along with thousand almost naked, enhanced females, and more beer,..and more naked females, and oh, i cant forget a competition testing the gluttony of the over 20 human beings. Secondly, 3 in the morning?? Really? So, I had reservations. Hell, I didn't think my lady friend would let me work it. (she gave in). However, as I had said many times before, there is always a opportunity to tell a story, and get some good imagery, no matter the place, or the subject. So, It was done, and I am a better person for it. Because no matter how drunk you are, or how many times you get flashed by a  pair of doctored up breasts, there is great imagery in all.

I've been so lazy...

..I've haven't been been good with my blogging. I know, i'm supposed to be better with this, keeping you guys posted on what i've been doing, and my projects,..and i've done alot. So,..starting today,.Tone is back!!!. I will make the adjust my workflow to include some blogging, to keep you guys in touch with what i am doing,..promise!

A True Artist, that gives back to the community...

I am really feeling this sister right here. It's a great thing to be accomplished, and then give back to your community. I am in awe of her. Just awesome. Check it out, you wil agree.

...Was feeling a little bored today..

..which sometimes is a good thing. After reading a little bit of autobiographical info on picasso, I was trying to find out what period I was in. This is certainly a "turning-point year" for me. I've had my frustrations, my ups, and downs. Looking at his work, you can see the pain, and the joy, and frustration the man felt. It comes out in his iconic library of work. But the self portrait got to me. Deep. Really deep. So,..by me being bored as i was,. i deceided to "self-portraitize" myself,..and maybe 50 years from now,..some swarmy, know it all, art historian type, will place me in a "Period box", Nice.....

The Party I photographed on 11/14/2009 at the Luxe Lounge

Every now and then I'll do some work for my buddy, artist Taqiy Muhammad. His latest venue, "The Black Party", and art show was held on the 14 of November, at the Luxe Lounge here in philadelphia. He asked me to come thru, and shoot it, and I did. Well, the theme was wear black, and folks did. But, it all adds up,..Niteclub,..all black attire,..sisters hear about it, out come the barely there, hey did you see that?,...damn look at that sister over there,..outfits. I'm not complaining trust me, its just kinda funny to see the "show" within the "show"..and me being Mr.Photographer, gets to capture it all. But seriously, it was a good nite, business wise made some connects, and got some great images as well. But i might add,..alot of folks called me the next day saying they couldn't get onto my website to see there photos. Hmmm,. I was concerned about that, but then a friend made me realize something. People are so used to using their "search field" in there browsers, that they forget about their "address field". Folks...Im going give you Internet 101,....when someone gives you a website address, it's just like them giving you an address to get to their house. its direct. this is where I am at. No need to search. Now,..that address is to be put in your "address field" which normally is at the very top of your internet explorer page. Go on,..minimize this window for a sec,.. and open a new window, you'll see it right on the very top. Now,..do you see the space there,..good. Now there is a series of letters and back slashes there,..this is called an "url" and it always starts off as  http://  remember that,  Http://  got it?  good. Now, folks you only use a search,..to search. ?. right? ok, so there is NO need to"search", if you have the "address",..because the address will do what? (not everyone yell, out the answer please,.. raise your hands)  Riiiight...the address or the url will take you directly to the site. Whew,....and I hated grade school. So folks,.. my website is,...http://my.photoshelter.com/tonytayloreventphoto  thats it. just like that. The tonytayloreventphoto is all one word (which i know alot of you meesed that up too) Ok Guys?

Got it? good, Now here are some images from the party.
