"Streetwise"
@ First Friday, I set my camera on a tripod close to the street level at 5 sec exposure....hence Streetwise. Since First Friday is also an arts festival Streetwise is a shout out to a Jazz Musician on Cali who did a cool jazz album based on Dr. Dre's greatest hits! Streetwise does Dre.
It was a few years ago in a Circuit City (remember those?) during black Friday at some ungodly hour (5am?) I was standing in line with my sister when I head some familiar music. I thought to myself, "who the hell plays Dr. Dre in a family friendly retail chain?" no wonder these losers where going out of business! but the more I listened the classier it got...because it was Jazz! with Dr. Dre! Genius! I ran out of the line (on a black friday!) to check out this awesomeness, after a few sec's of looking I got the last CD on the shelf!....this also happens to be the last time I bought a CD.
After giving it a few listens the initial excitement wore off and I wished I'd just gotten the original Chronic by Dr. Dre...I mean why settle for a Substitute!?
