“I didn’t choose the thug life, the thug life chose me.”

At 10:15 a.m., I started to get high. At 11:00 am, I saw him as Martin Luther King, my hallucination became real. I asked him to drop his jacket. Little by little, he appeared before me as the emblematic pastor during his march for civil rights.
John Singleton was him, but the current did not flow and I see that this shoot is fizzling out. John is certainly a huge director but he already saw himself as a professional photographer.
