John “JonOne” Perello grew up in Harlem where graffiti and tags were seen in everyday life. Now living in Paris, JonOne has transferred his work from the streets of New York to the “limitations” of a canvas (some extremely large) and he now fancies more brushstrokes than air sprays.
Here is a short portrait of JonOne as he prepares for his first solo exhibit in the U.S. You can see his art displayed at Fabien Castanier Gallery in Studio City, CA from November 3 – December 2, 2012 www.castaniergallery.com

For the past few weeks we had the privilege of communicating and filming Alejandro & Maria, a mime couple! They call their group Binbon! They’re wonderful, good-hearted people dedicating themselves to the world of acting. They focus on theater acting as well as pantomime. We filmed a short video capturing their story. We also had fun filming 4 of their skits, you can see one of them below. To learn more more about Binbon and hiring them visit their website: mimosbinbon.wordpress.com

Safe Care Mission International was initiated as a response to the desperate need for safe, quality child care in the Baja of Mexico. Many people live below the poverty line, working for poor wages and living in conditions that are sub-standard.
Safe Care Mission also operates an orphanage to provide loving and stable care to children whose families are in crisis.
Safe Care Mission believes in the importance of education as a means to helping build a road to sustainability and end the cycle of poverty.

This year’s Help-Portrait event was a success! We photographed 54 families. The San Fernando community came out and supported the event with over 60 volunteers and 20 donors. Awesome!
Help-Portrait is a movement of photographers who are using their time, equipment and expertise to give back to the community this holiday season. On December 10, 2011 the community of San Fernando and Alas Media made it possible for these beautiful families to take home a family portrait to share this holiday season.
