Shahid Brown and I spent a very intense Friday evening together.
Shahid is the amazing gallery director for the Grind Gallery and an artist in his own right, but more importantly - he is a good person.

These are pictures I took while we were around the Grind gallery and later while Shahid and I walked his amazing dogs. Shahid has an incredible bond with his canine friends and they obey him without any question or hesitation.

These pictures are my way of showing gratitude to Shahid for the invitation he gave me to visit his home and for his hospitality.

The portraits of Shahid are also my tribute to Shahid’s involvement with LA’s Cannibal Flower show, of which Shahid is one of the principal organizers and which is celebrating it’s 8th anniversary this month after running since 2000 once a month, without fail. The Cannibal Flower show gives emerging and up-and-coming artists from around the world the chance to display their work at one of the coolest venues on the planet.

If you want to download a photo you can click on the slide-show and that will lead you to the Picasa album where they are all stored. You can use the photos in any way you desire, I only ask that you give me credit and provide a link to my website or blog - MikeDarnell.name.

Enjoy…
