My friend, the talented photographer, Mel and I sat on a rooftop in Brooklyn and recorded a conversation! We spoke about the years he spent in Connecticut, Florida, and eventually moving to New York. He talks about his passion for graphic design that led to him delving into photography. Over the years, Mel has shot 10's of thousands of photos of a plethora of different people. I ask him about what it is that inspires him to shoot, how he goes about taking photos, his thoughts on the community, and advice he would give to "coming up" artists! We speak about his role in the brand "Cliff", his book series "Smoke Break", and up coming projects he is working on. Lastly, if you know me, you know how much I love "Super Smash Bros". Mel is the best Smash player I've ever played against, so you already know I had to ask my man a bit about that! Mel has a wonderful infectious energy about him you will be able to feel/hear throughout this interview. Please enjoy :)
