So you may not know him now but you will know him very soon! Basile Shingu a native of Charlotte, North Carolina. While having deep roots within the Democratic Republic of Congo he keeps close to his culture. The 19 year old photographer is a member of the Immaculate Taste record label where he not only take pictures for the label but does graphic design for them also. When I asked him, "Homie what inspires he you?" He replied, "As cliche as it sounds pretty much everything inspires me." Which is one of the most cliche answers an artist can say...BUT I know it to be true due to working with him on many of my own projects. As one of his main clients I let him do all of the creative work I just come with my body and my clothing and let his mind wander. His favorite photographer as of right now is the late and great Bill Cunningham. May he rest in peace and hopefully he knows that he is missed. He plans on venturing into more things than just photography he plans on dipping himself into fashion design and only any form of design....SO maybe in the future if y'all need an interior decorator hit up BShingu. Finally, I asked "What do you want your work to be?" He replies instantly and passionately saying, "I want my work to be timeless. I want my work to evoke emotion whether it be nostalgia, happiness, laughter you know things of that nature." There is no want for his pictures to be all of that because they already are! If you would like to get into contact with BShingu my brother from another mother you can follow him at @Bshingu on Instagram or email him at ShinguBasile@gmail.com. Below I have some of the work that he has done for me in the past! The work that he does from me can range from business shots (3>2.96 but that is another article) and personal ones during events or while we are out on the town.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
