Sitting here critiquing some of my past events and I came across this candid from a lil’ under a year ago when I had my very first @thesimplethingsproject pop-up experience at @ourfavoriteshop. This is a candid of my guy Larry (@okthestore) making the first purchase! So many people came out to support and I was kinda overwhelmed by the positive feedback, but it also gave me the confidence to really step on the gas with this project. Thank you all again for your continuous support. - I’m actually in the process of planning my first pop-up now for the new zine and I think this one is going to be really special. Looking forward to seeing you all there. More details coming soon. - #clae #clae15x15 #ourfavoriteshop #simplethings #simplethingsthezine #simplethingsmerch #TheSimpleThingsProject #TheSimpleThingsExperience #mylife #thejourney #settinggoals #lorenzodigginsjr #showyourwork #specialprojects #passionprojects #momentofreflection #momentofgratitude #vscocam #makeportraits #poweredbycbc (at Our Favorite Shop)

#tbt to 2014...the year I first started experimenting with the concept of "Simple Things". I made a small collection of 5x7 prints which eventually became the inspiration for my first zine. This was first illustration and it has spearheaded the whole project. - Shoutout to you if you have one of these. 🙏🏾 - #simplethings #simplethingsthezine #simplethingsmerch #mylife #thejourney #lorenzodigginsjr #showyourwork #specialprojects #passionprojects #vscocam #poweredbycbc

Yesterday I went and dropped off the 2nd batch of zines at @okthestore and as I entered the store it was really refreshing and encouraging to spot my work amongst so many other creators I admire. This is definitely motivation to keep going. Thank you again to everyone who has supported this @thesimplethingsproject in some capacity - I really appreciate you all. The best has yet to come. - #OKtheStore #simplethings #simplethingsthezine #simplethingsmerch #STstockist #mylife #thejourney #lifestyle #lorenzodigginsjr #showyourwork #specialprojects #passionprojects #photographyzine #zine #momentofreflection #momentofgratitude #putonforthecity #doitfortheculture #vscocam #sonyalpha #makeportraits #smallvictoriesdoaddup #poweredbycbc (at OK Store)

I was too sick to post this yesterday but today I’m feeling a lot better. Just reached another milestone. In 2015 and half of 2016, I spent a lot of time working at @okthestore and I spent even more time merchandising their AMAZING art/coffee table book collection and since day one it has always been a dream of mine to have something I created sold in the store…well yesterday that dream came true and now I’m so pleased to announced that @okthestore is officially carrying my “Simple Things” zine! (cc: @thesimplethingsproject) - Next time you’re on @westthirdstreet getting brunch at either #ToastBakeryCafe or #JoansonThird or in #Silverlake getting coffee at #LAMILLcoffee, please free to stop by one of the locations and check it out. Sidebar, If you aren’t already hip to #OKtheStore - you’re welcome in advance…it’s a real wonderland for design enthusiast or anyone who appreciates things crafted with excellence. - A special shoutout to my guy/mentor Larry for sharing so many gems with me (directly and indirectly) these last couple of years, and special thank you to Queen @janaturner and Jesse for being so supportive of me and all my endeavors, especially this @thesimplethingsproject…I love you all like family. Actually, you guys are my family. I’m a happy (sick) kid today. - #OKtheStore #simplethings #simplethingsthezine #simplethingsmerch #STstockist #mylife #thejourney #lifestyle #lorenzodigginsjr #showyourwork #specialprojects #passionprojects #photographyzine #zine #momentofreflection #momentofgratitude #putonforthecity #doitfortheculture #vscocam #sonyalpha #makeportraits #smallvictoriesdoaddup #poweredbycbc (at OK Store)

Here’s an outtake (or a failed attempt rather) from my new “Simple Things” zine - I was just one settings adjustment 🤦🏾‍♂️ away from capturing the perfect candid/stealthy shot of this "Puerto Rican" brother from The Nation of Islam on Crenshaw and King. Y'all should have seen me posted in front of Louisiana Chicken trying to pretend like I wasn't sneaking shots of dude 🕵🏾...he was moving way too fast for my shutter speed ahahaha. Finally after failing miserably with the stealth shots, I had to just ask my guy for a pic - he obliged. That image will be seen in part 2. ---------------------------------------------------- If you're interested in seeing the rest of the zine, you can purchase it through the link in @thesimplethingsproject's bio. Hope you enjoy! 🤘🏾 - #mylife #thejourney #simplethings #simplethingsthezine #simplethingsmerch #lorenzodigginsjr #showyourwork #specialprojects #passionprojects #photographyzine #zine #momentofreflection #momentofgratitude #behindthehustle #blackexcellence #putonforthecity #doitfortheculture #CrenshawandKing #vscocam #sonyalpha #makeportraits #poweredbycbc (at Louisiana Fried Chicken)
