In 2006 I was teaching a still photography class in North Philadelphia. One day
\nafter class, one of my students came up to me and said, \u201cMy brother runs a hip
\nhop studio out of his house a couple of blocks away. Do you want to meet him?\u201d
\nSo we end up walking down the street, and James introduced me to his brother
\nChristopher Rainey, aka Quest. We exchanged business cards and a few weeks
\nlater Quest invited me to come to his home studio (Everquest Recordings) to
\ntake photos to help promote his artists.
\nWhen I first visited the studio I was really drawn to the community. The energy
\nand passion were just captivating. I wanted to contribute in any way that I could,
\nso I began working on a photo essay about the studio while also taking pictures
\nfor artists to use as album art. One of the rappers, Price, started calling me Peter
\nParker, as I was climbing all over the place trying to get interesting angles. The
\nname stuck and that is what everyone in the neighborhood calls me to this day<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
