This model hires me to shoot her, and says she can only do Sunday, which is the Rehab party day. i told her OK, well shoot in the morning because by noon im gonna be SMASHED! she said she couldnt so i gave her the disclaimer: I WILL BE DRUNK when you shoot with me. She said OK. LOL

The Facilitator of Debauchery - my shoot with Jaleel White

2010-08-09T07:28:00.000-07:00

So i met this guy at a party who recognized my work... Surprisingly the guy was Jaleel White. The photo that he recognized was one of my Iconic Images.

"The Chick Urinal"

About a month later he asked me to shoot him for his Webisode "Fake it to Make it"
The reason was, i was the RIGHT person for the shoot.... in other words, from my photos he assumed i was the Facilitator of Debauchery; He was RIGHT! :-)

The Episode can be seen here(my photos are at the End of Webisode):

Fake it Til you Make it, Ep 4: Never Sleep With Fans

The following are a few that you can see without pausing the show to look at them.

30 Yrs Old - The Next Chapter

2010-03-16T16:41:00.001-07:00

Today the 16th of March, i have been 30 for a month. I've done a lot of thinking...
And this is what I've come up with:

Coming out of my Neighborhood and making it to 30yrs Old I've beaten a shit load of Odds

-i survived to 18
-i graduated High School
-i went to College
-i survived to 21
-i have no children... that i know of, LOL
-i moved out of my neighborhood
-i've been out of the country for leisure(Europe)
-i'm self-employed
-i've never been to Jail
-i've never been shot
-i've never been stabbed
-i left my NEST at 18(parent's house)
-i've never been addicted to drugs
-i've been homeless, self-sacrifice by choice to achieve something more, and come out on top
-i fly across the country an average of at least twice a month if not more on business
-i havent had a 9-5 or a Boss since i was 21.
-When i wake up in the morning, i do what i want, and i LOVE it.
-i've made a lot of money and spent it ALL!
-i've rubbed elbows with the people others could only Dream of meeting.
-i have been on Billboards and TV.
-i have simultaneously lived on both coasts holding down an apartment in NY & LA at the same time.

Outside of having children and getting married, i've done all in life that i have set out to do in some form or another. Now that i am 30, i have reached a chapter in life that i never even dreamed of. I never thought past 25, i just lived my life to the fullest and drove full throttle into this thing called life.

How could i complain about such a full live when im not even middle aged yet.
Now that i have achieved so much and am at the Next Chapter of LIFE, it is time to Buckle down once again and get to the Next level...

i love listening to Jay-Z, I feel like Jay understands me!
two verses:

So Ambitious:
"he said wise up, how many guys a you see making it from here,
The world don’t like us, is that not clear, alright,
But I'm different, I can’t base what I'm gonna be off a what everybody isn’t,
They don’t listen, just whispering behind my back,
No vision, lack of ambition"

"...motivation for me, was them tellin me what i could not be."

Forever Young

"fear not much while we're alive
Life is for living not living uptight
Until you're somewhere up in the sky
Fear not die I'll be alive for a million years bye bye are not for legends I'm forever young my name shall survive
Through the darkest blocks, over kitchen stoves, over Pyrex pots, My name shall be passed down to generations while debatin' up in barber shops
Young slung, hung here, Showed that a nigga from here, With a little ambition, just what we can become here."

Now it's TIME for me to begin solidifying my American Icon status

until my next Post, Just remember i'm Shittin on the Game:

AzMarie - The next androgynous Supermodel

2009-09-17T17:23:00.000-07:00

AzMarie - The next androgynous Supermodel! (http://www.identitiesinc.com/)

No hang-ups, no hassle, a quick & simple, yet amazing shoot. this shoot was just playtime because we have not been able to do the other shoot i have planned for her. But i was tired of waiting to shoot her it has been over 6 months ive been waiting. here is the product of PlayTIme!

SO i still support the artists that i like. i will be bumpin this in the car in a few hours!

Jay-Z - Blueprint III

Last Summer with William Springfield and Eva Marcille (Pigford)

2009-08-02T13:02:00.000-07:00

Last Summer with William Springfield and Eva Marcille (Pigford)

Ya'll remember last Summer when Media Take Out Assholes put my shoot with Eva Marcille out there!?

Check out their link - http://bit.ly/Q2V1P

they only put up a few photos to make it seem like something that it wasnt.

It was the first photo shoot for this project i am working on.

Here is more what that shoot was supposed to look like...

I know i've been MIA

2009-06-20T17:14:00.001-07:00

I know i've been MIA, but i'll be back soon. I'm AGGRESSIVELY being a GO-GETTER, making my things happen right now, but i will put up some updates soon.

here's something quick for now :-)

Not just fashion!

2009-05-17T03:34:00.000-07:00

I also shoot sexy women, i say that because skin and bones isnt sexy. I'm not saying fashion girls arent sexy, becasue there are quite a few who float my boat! and their expression, body language and confidence can make them sexy and their beauty is sometimes remarkable. But on a daily real life level... a woman with a body, a REAL woman, a woman with curves is sexy.

When i was in NY i shot a make-up artist/glamour model Courtney Starrburst. i Love the way the photos came out.

King Magazine... Up in Smoke

2009-05-16T02:12:00.001-07:00

The Demise of King Magazine...

So what's next? there MUST be a replacement! the next cat is my boy Ransom. He's a beast with a camera and his take on T&A is He's not pretending like its art, its tits and ass! It is meant to arouse, and he is unapologetic about it. I LOVE IT!

i love that unlike King mag its not just sexy half naked girls on a white background or simple backgrounds. there is so much thought put into his imagery. I believe if King would have hired more shooters like him, then maybe they wouldnt have gotten boring and monotonous. you can find free T&A anywhere on the net, so what makes people come back for more. Ransom's work will. you can see more at his website - www.Rhotographic.com

He is also working on his publication, which i have seen a few pages from. PHENOMENAL! i cannot wait to see the final product and to shoot for it.

Here are some images of his, that i have ALWAYS loved:

And His Portrait of MEEEEE! :-p I know ya'll WISH lol

Rihanna AND Cassie - It has been a Great week!

2009-05-08T18:13:00.000-07:00

how do two of the hottest R&B girls that i want to photograph get caught out there...?

they say that cassie's computer was hacked... ummm prolly not. im thinking more like Jay-Z's or the Dream maybe. maybe one of their computers was hacked LOL!

anyways I LOVE IT!!!

Milani Rose for my upcoming coffeetable book:

The Swine Flu - Mexico's attempt at Bio-Warfare!

2009-05-04T07:09:00.000-07:00

Swine FLu - Mexico's attempt at Bio-Warfare!

so we have an epidemic, pandemic, whatever... the swine flu. i love it! LOL

mass hysteria, shit, its the flu people. it just came a little later than the regular flu. i guess enough people didnt die this winter so mother nature said hey, "i may have lost the battle this winter but i'm gonna win the war!" hence the swine flu

The president said to the people, they want to treat us badky here in Mexico, how about this. we will test out our new biological warfare. go, go and take the Flu to the gringos! cross the border and take it to the schools and the airports. If you get stopped at the border or aprehended by border patrol or those volunteer rednecks who ride around with guns at the border with Guns protecting the AMERICAN way of life from us "Aliens" SNEEZE on them! send them on their way with a GIFT from MEHICO!

So in conclusion -

If you've ever answered someone with the phrase, "when pigs fly" thinking you would never have to carry out these actions ...then start making your list. Cause guess what people... PIGS FLU!

More Photos of my little niece Vaniya

...dudes actin like they street when they barely sidewalk!

2009-04-26T00:34:00.000-07:00

@ 1:12 i heard this ...dudes actin like they street when they barely sidewalk!

and it made me pay MORE attention and rewind and actually REALLY watch.
The cinematography in this video is SICK! this whole video was done in one long take with no cuts, and lots of rehearsal i am guessing.

I'm a fan! when it comes to music and artistry, i'm no easy win!

Pay me what i'm Worth, THANX!

2009-04-14T01:06:00.001-07:00

If you want a discounted photo session, should you also expect a discounted effort? Well i prefer to give More than 100% to every JOB, so i tend to expect at least to be paid for my worth.

This is my 110%

This is the Beginning!

2009-04-08T08:52:00.000-07:00

I really resisted starting a blog for a few yrs now... but i am to the point where it seems necessary as a platform for my unseen photos.

I also plan on showing off the work of some of my colleagues.

my MOUTH, because i rarely sensor what comes out of it, can get me in trouble. i will probably say some RUDE shit here while expressing my thoughts and opinions. beware LOL

check out my website: http://www.williamspringfield.com this is the PRO site. Enjoy.

These blog posts will forever be known as the SHENANGANS of Will "mutha effin" Springfield, the Rockstar!

Enjoy!

(that's a representation of myself giving the middle finger)
