Shala Monroque

Shala Eyes Open Crop RS

I snagged this photo of fashion icon, Vogue regular, and blogger Shala Monroque after the Cushnie Et Ochs show at Milk Studios. I believe there was some type of issue with her transportation, and this photo is of her waiting for everything to be sorted out. I didn’t want to bother her since she seemed really stressed out about the mishap. After waiting for her to hang up her phone call I took three quick photos of her sitting on the railing like this and walked away. The last thing I ever want to do is cross the line from street-style photographer into a paparazzi. I’m sure some day I’ll get to say hello to her.

In the end, I think this photo is much more beautiful than a posed shot. I’m really falling in love with candid photography.

Winner of North Coast Music Festival’s most stylish singer award goes to Yukimi Nagano of the indie-psychedelic-jam band Little Dragon. Her upbeat but eerie, optimistically haunting lyrics floated over Union Park on Sunday. I really enjoyed the relaxing, meandering vibe of her music. It was a welcome break from all the beat-heavy dubstep and trance all weekend. During her performance I laid back in the grass with my college friends Karrin, Frazier, Tyler, Amelia, Brooke and Kate as we enjoyed the positive energy and glorious weather. Little Dragon was the perfect soundtrack to Sunday-Funday’s afternoon lull.
