• Cool post featuring early photos of hip hop artists before they were really huge. Check it out here. (via Feature Shoot)

• Like many I was sad to hear about Whitney Houston. When I was little my Mom had a small collection of records I used to listen to, with Whitney Houston featured prominently among them.

Even though I'm the manliest man among men (see below), I still love Whitney's music. One of my favorite songs of hers is below.

(Ax, woods, overalls, Man.)

And here's a link to the isolated vocal track from How Will I Know. Pretty phenomenal.

One of my favorite photographers, Brad Trent, blogged today about his early days assisting and has a pretty cool post about an early, early shoot he was on with Whitney, back when she was just 21 years old. Check out Brad Trent's post here.
