This was a project I got through Okayplayer.com when I was doing work for them. I heard the great South African Jazz legend Hugh Masakela was performing in Central Park. So I made a few phone calls, got my press credentials and did this piece for their sister site OkayAfrica. He was very sharp, sweet, wise, funny, and playful and gave probably the most meaningful video/interview I've ever been a part of. I was honored to not only be in his presence but glad I hand wrote all of the questions instead of just being a hired hand to shoot. His commentary was thoughtful and filled with timeless quotables and wisdom. I'm honored sill to this day. I don't take photos as much as I shoot video, but I took this photo, which I printed and framed and is on display at my mother's home.
