Letter From The Editor

It is truly an honor and a pleasure to be tabbed as Guest Curator. I’ve worked hard to formulate a collection of ideas and peoples that I believe constitute a time capsule of infinite relevance, to bring artists up who are very talented but don’t network per se, to give props to people who I personally know, and to express myself in a forum larger than my local street corner. This is a privilege that I hold in high regard.

Two thousand and ten is a special year for me in that it is my silver anniversary of “taking professional photos on a hang-out tip.” It’s also the 20th anniversary of my ol’ public-access show, “Rappin’ With the Rickster.” I’ve been touring all over the place with my World-Famous Slideshow, sharing all kinds of experiences and thoughts with audiences who appreciate my Dean Martin style of delivering anecdotes, each and every show being a unique experience.

I would like to send out a stoopid large Thank You to the staff at Frank151 as well as all the peeps who got down on this project. Much love and respect. Y’all makin’ me look good!

Yours Truly,
Ricky Powell (The Lazy Hustler)
