Worked my ass off in photography for 10+ years so people could tell me how “lucky” I am today.
In a few years, they’ll call me “lucky” all over again.
(hint: it’s not luck.)

My hero died yesterday . It happened so suddenly, in a flash. I cannot believe it still, it’s like I’m in the worst possible nightmare imaginable. I got a call from my brother at 2am last night saying she wasn’t feeling well. The asthma had kicked in again. The fucking asthma.
This Thursday, March 3rd, I will become (maybe the first?) Venezuelan photographer to sell art at
@Sothebys
. For sure the first Venezuelan NFT artist to do so.
This is ‘Kinesthesia’, a thread. 🧵
the mission’s just getting started.
happy birthday to my guy, the mood god
@JoeBudden
! it’s been an absolute honor to capture so many memorable moments these past 10+ years.
we still got a lot of work to do though. this next decade is ours.
People who never supported me, shared any of my work, ignored all my blockchain talk, and barely looked my way over the span of my career:
“Hey dude! Wow long time no talk, so awesome to see everything you’re doing! Was wondering if I could pick your brain about NFTs sometime?”
Hey friends. I have my first solo drop on
@niftygateway
tomorrow.
I’ve been a photographer for most of my life, and this drop showcases some of the most pivotal moments and photos that I’ve ever captured.
“Lost in the Moments”, tomorrow at 6:30 pm. I hope you can join me.
Made it to
@YahooFinance
with my art.
Check out this dope piece on my collab drop with
@ThankYouX
on
@niftygateway
tomorrow!
2021, the year of the NFT. Don’t say I didn’t tell you.
Another goal is to share more of my work. I share less than one percent of what I shoot on social media.
With that said, here’s a thread of some photos I shot today.

one of the things I’m proudest of in my photography career is the vast amount of alley oops I’ve thrown to the squad.
thriving alone is cool, but bringing the squad along is legendary.
I don’t know how they did it, but
@SonyAlpha
managed to make a 12-24mm GM lens with continous 2.8 aperture. It’s a thing of beaty.
I got the chance to test it out this weekend, here are some of my images!
The music industry treats photographers & videographers like pure shit. Unless you’re working directly with the artist, it’s constant disrespect. I LOVE music but it’s a big part of the reason I prob won’t do music photos much longer.
I’m so proud, I could shed a tear. My guy
@JoeBudden
’s all over the web today!
For anyone who’s been a fan as long as I have, it’s been a long time coming, and there’s no one more deserving. We doin’ big things this year 🙌🏼
I held my mother’s hand for one last time today.
Her last outfit on this earth was a dress I got her in Japan a few months ago. She had been waiting for the perfect occasion to wear it.
She looked so beautiful, so radiant, even now. She left us with a peaceful smile on her
Sending much love to all my fellow creatives who depend on events like
@sxsw
and
@coachella
to make a living.
Been a rough few weeks for us but like
@neilhimself
said, when it all hits the fan, all we can do is make good art.
So let’s do just that.
to the realest: may this next orbit bring even more growth, even more success, and even more unforgettable memories.
i hope i’m there to capture it all.
appreciate you more than you know
@JoeBudden
, happy born day 🤘🏼
Gained an immense respect for
@russdiemon
after sitting in on his convo w.
@JoeBudden
for the latest ep. of “The Pull Up.”
He spoke about trusting your talent, pursuing goals with perseverance, and using negativity hurled your way as fuel to outwork competition.

My genesis piece on
@SuperRare
is live and open for bids.
This piece speaks to a topic that has pervaded my life ever since I was a child — the political & social crisis in the country I was born, my beautiful Venezuela. 🧵🪡
Alright that’s all y’all, signing off. (Still got like 600 more shots but they might not be safe for twitter.)
Thanks again to
@JoeBudden
for one of the funnest nights in recent memory. The
#JoeBuddenPoolParty
exceeded legendary expectations once again. 🤘🏼

This time of year the sunrise lines up with the cross streets in the city, bathing everything in gorgeous golden light.
I call it the reverse Manhattanhenge.
Here’s a thread with some photos.
I am once again EMOTIONAL.
To anyone that supported and collected our art, THANK YOU.
@ThankYouX
and I will never ever forget this. We’re so excited for the future of this community. 💛💙❤️
A few weeks ago I got an email from
@Spotify
. They said they were working on a project w.
@JoeBudden
& needed photos for marketing. “Joe said he wouldn’t work with anyone but you.”
FF to now, and my photos are all over this press release. 🙏🏼
Extremely excited to FINALLY have joined the
@coolcatsnft
gang today after hesitating for so long (I’m sorry)
This guy’s got the beard, the scowl, is half blind, and has an apple (I was a teacher so it’s symbolic). He’s perfect for me. 🥺
🚨Disclaimer: don’t expect me to be a photography niche account.
If you follow me, you’re getting me — that includes music, memes, politics, blockchain, sports, and whatever tf I’m interested in at the moment.
I contain multitudes breh 🧠
Yesterday I was lucky enough to rip open the very first
@ParallelTCG
physical pack ever. What a feeling.
I pulled an all Marcolian deck — here’s a little sneak peek!
We simply love the cards.

A protester carries a U.S. flag upside-down, a sign of distress, next to a burning building early Friday, May 29, 2020, in Minneapolis. Protests over the death of George Floyd, a black man who died in police custody Monday, broke out in Minneapolis for a third straight night.

To all my nyc creatives: don’t for a second think this is your only opportunity to capture a desolate city.
This whole series was shot months/years ago.
#StayAtHome
and I promise you’ll have a chance to get images like these without endangering others once this is all over.
