    Stephen "ST 2 Lettaz" Harris, and David "Yung Clova" Williams make up the Huntsville rap duo G-Side. I took this photo of them on tour, conducting a cell phone interview with a journalist on a fire escape in Manhattan. The photo speaks to the "D.I.Y." nature of the current independent music scene. Digital technology has played a big role in G-Side's business strategy, enabling them to use the Internet and viral word of mouth to build a diverse international fan base. G-Side released a track in 2011 called "Nat Geo".

    Shot was taken in a small Lithuanian vilage. Unique as captured moment is real. No posing or acting. The picture is contemporary and archaic at the same moment (European old architecture and up-to-date people living in). Every person in this picture lives his own life story and all of them links one emotion – longing...
