SPOTLIGHT: PHOTOGRAPHER
URIEL Gonzalez INTERVIEW BY: PHILLIP DIAS JR.
I
am a Mexican photographer. I was born in Mexico City, but raised Tijuana. Since childhood photography caught my interest, I’ve been learning and exploring photography in a more serious and respectfully way since the past 16 years. I am completely self-educated in photography, and most of my work is in black and white. A portrait in color looks pretty, but in black and white the essence of the subject can be captured and last forever. Living in a bordertown like Tijuana gives me the opportunity to witness both realities and how many dreams bounce in wall that divides and separate families and communities. Currently participating in a collective exhibit that has been showed in several countries of Latin America and Europe that is focus in the extensive border region between Mexico and U.S. from the Golf to the Pacific. My latest work is focus on womens portraits. Website: www.urielgonzalezphoto.com

I Am LoVe WRITTen BY: PHILLIP “ZAIn” DIAS JR.
Some of you know who I am We first met when you cranked up that slow jam I was in the room for a minute, then lust came in people always confuse me for his twin I am here to make people enjoy life but why does it feel like in my back is a knife It hurts me when I put my neck out I’m either double crossed or filled with doubt Why does Lust get all the special treatment leaving me cold and alone in the basement Well I’m here to tell you all, no more no longer will you hide behind me, to get your big score I have a heart too yes it is true. For each heart that is broken I can feel the sorrow, the anger, the pain the list goes on, but what have I gained I invest my love to promote more happiness instead I get more stress They say that love can fade, yet here I stand I use to be high in demand Until I heard on a commercial sex sells What happened to long walks on the beach picking up shells For those of you who actually treat me with tender love and care Thank you for being fair For those of you who use my name and don’t mean it Well, you know where to stick it.
