Alone in his office Suge said, “I want you
to do everything we got going on. If we go out of town or do an awards show.
Whatever we do I want you to do the photography. I want you to be the Chief
of Photography.” Yeah, so I heard.
“Also, I want you to go out and buy 10 small cameras that you can disperse
to different people in the company and they can report back to you with whatever
they get.” He even said, “If somebody gets a beat down they’ll
get that on film. Whatever might happen we’ll have it on film.”
I wasn’t sure what that was really about, control issues maybe, the
important thing about this moment was that Suge Knight, Godfather of the hottest
thing happening, wanted visuals of everything happening in his realm, and
he just put me in charge of it all, I was officially on Death Row…..and
life was good………….
