Stay True

I shot these photos back in May. Johnny Cupcakes came to town, so I figured I'd go snap a few shots of him and his crew. Johnny runs a brand that is build upon a D.I.Y. ethic and a positive outlook, and I totally respect that. I grew up in the punk rock scene here in Pittsburgh, and those same ethics never left me.

Johnny's visit brought all kinds of people out of the woodwork. I met some young kids trying to get a t-shirt line started, and another Photographer named, Joann Bartone. Joann hooked me up with a ton of film, and really encouraged me to keep shooting.

Sometimes its hard to stay positive, so this post is dedicated to those people.
