REFLECTIONS #4: FREE TREKO

Yo, it’s the Pope, 1000WORD$.

Growing up on the East Coast, we were always captivated by films like Boyz N the Hood, Menace II Society, American Me, and Blood in Blood Out. They sparked our interest in the LA scene—gangsters, gangbangers, and all kinds of gangs. So, when I hit LA for the first time in 2020 at age 33, I had it set in my mind to snap some pics that represented that real LA gangster life I'd been fed on.

Lo and behold, during my visit, I managed to capture three images that perfectly embodied the raw, unfiltered LA gangster spirit I was seeking. These shots not only fulfilled my long-held vision but also served as a tribute to the city's undeniable influence. Free the homie Treko.

THIS IS WORDS WITH WORD$.
