Nelly, Harlem NY, 2006. In Harlem, underneath the West Side Highway, there is this elevated portion of the highway that’s like a hundred feet tall. At that time, all sorts of crazy shit went on up there, from drugs to prostitution. If you wanted to burn a car, that was the place to do it. I’m shooting Nelly, so what am I gonna do? I rented some Saint Bernards.They were lazy as shit. They fell asleep while he was standing there in the middle of the road. Nelly’s wearing these six-carat diamond studs in each ear, dressed to the nines in a suit, and he’s in this gritty, smelly, dirty roadway, with these three dogs asleep and drooling on each other. It was just fabulous. Show more
