Anyway, Taj selected some models from the e-mails he received and here are some of the dope shots he took. And get this, most of the models are actual CL readers…now that’s wassup.
Here is what Taj wanted to say to everyone:
Thanks to everyone who contacted me in regards to the casting notice. It was a pleasure working with all involved and I look forward to doing it again. Also, a special thank you to Nostylgia (www.nostylgia.com) sneaker shop for the kicks and clothing and Weight (www.weightnyc.com) for giving me gear. Lastly, thank you too, Angel La. for seeing my vision, as well as Hair Designer DeLonte CLark and celebrity makeup artist, Encruma Garriques. Be on the lookout for some of my work on a newsstand near you, soon.
-Taj

Thanks again, Angel La. You’re the best!
nice pictures!!
they look GREAT, nice pics!!! Especially the fellas!!!
the guy in the 2nd pic looks like he doesnt know wat hes doing.
I’d checked out his work on his profile a couple of weeks back, and I must say that his photos just GRAB you. I love Brazillian cubic art, which is vibrant and sharp and colorful, and these photos are kinda reminiscent of that style. Love it.
They almost look like living color cartoons or something. The composition almost looks surreal (in a good way).
Cute pics!!
Very nice work Mr. Taj Washington !!!
wow…so these are models that you choose from our Concrete Loop Readers, huh ????
Very Impressive Sir.
Black people lookin’ GOOD! Bothers lookin’ FINE! Great photos.

After reading that anger-inspiring post about Kramer (whatever his real name is), it was nice to see that gorgeous guy in the first photo looking back at me. Mmmmm mmmmm, thaaannkk you, CL!
@ My Boo!
Now, I’m not a jealous man, but I’m not overjoyed with TAJ talkin to “my Boo” like they old roomates or sumpin! Since when did he get a direct line to discuss his vision with you? And, what happen to my vision fa us? And, where was you all last week?
CMAO! ;(
This pics are fabulous…great work
I meant these pics…
OMG I have made like ten typos today!!! I’m sorry guys!!!
Whaddup, Bryant?! I see you! Thank you everyone for your kind comments. I am just a young dud trying to make moves and it’s a blessing to be able to have a vehicle to do so.
Co-sign with #5..he’s cute.
The dude in pic #1 is very sexy.
Great work Taj!
Mizz Lizz I may have to use you in one of my projects.
All the models look ot. Congrats to Taj on a great photoshoot.

I FEEL YA #5 THE GUY IN THE RIGHT HAND CORNER IN THE FIRST PIC,,,HOLLA AT ME,,,,DAMN,,,,,
BUT HE DID REALLY WELL TAKING THESE PHOTOS THEY LOOK REALLY CLASSY…..
Very Nice Taj!
I find these shots to be extremely refreshing. Not overdone, but just enough sexy. Keep doing your “Thang”, it’s working!
who are these ppl?
No hate. The people he picked looked tight. They definitely was all on they A-game. This is a very good look.
Thank you Taj! Your shots are very well done. You have great taste!
these pics look so professional and they really look great!! nice work mr. washington!!
great photos! although I didn’t make the cut I am glad that other concreteloopers got the chance to get great photos for their books!
For me, it’s all about bringing the best out of our People of Color. Please note that these models had gorgeous insides to match their outsides. No one came to the shoot with any drama. Everyone was so professional. Although one model came with three bodyguards…LOL.
If tha’ guy in the first pic (Kent) is really a concreteloop reader, just wanna let you know………..you can get it LOL!!! DAMN he’s fine. As for the rest of the pictures, nice work.
Taj,
Great work. As for the man in the first pic… is his belly button really that high or are his pants that low? Either way, he is definitely sexy!
Where’s the chocolate?!! Man, we get dissed in everything!
Beans, his pants are down very low. I never even noticed that. LOL. Mikea, I was looking for dark skinned men and women and only a few responded that were in the Tri-State area. But they weren’t what I wanted. The darker skinned woman I wanted to use first told me she lived in NY, then changed up and said she comes to NYC occasionally, so that didn’t work. And the dark skinned dude I did pick for the shoot never followed through and chose not to show up to the shoot. Oh well, his loss.
LOL @ Beans, I didn’t noticed that either. His belly button does look high HAHA!! Man you must of been looking pretty hard
)
TAJ my man if you ain’t a PRO yet YOU just made yo MARK.
YOU GO BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and PLEASE O PLEASE work with MIZZLIZZ(just work tho).
I ain’t laughin
LMAO! You are a mess, Bru-Know. I will see what I can do…
Taj—these are really good photos. Excellent job! And ladies, if you want some more eye candy, visit Taj’s site. I fell in love twice, once with the guy smoking the cigar [even though I don't like smokers] and the guy watering the grass who will be my future gardener. I could do some loads of laundry on his abs. Whew!
These are GREAT pics Taj. Very professional. All of the models look great.

woooo who is the dude in the first pic to the left?
Oh, that’s Kent. I used him because he has a unique look. I bet you would never guess his nationality…
Who is this fine young man?
The photos are H.O.T.
What’s dude in the first pic’s (Kent i guess) nationality?
What, you had to be light skinned with Chink eyes to get selected? Please update the page with AMA pics, sth actually worth discussing.
I’m feeling Ashan. I want a scoop of his 31 flavas of sexiness!
Lemme find out it’s time for me to become a stalker again sexiness at it’s finest boy
Who is kent? with his fine ass.Where can i find out more info on him?
