A photoshoot with actor Taimak Guarriello

Taimak and I first met in Club Limelight in 1996, eleven years after the of release of The Last Dragon, Meeting him first impression was that he was a down to earth person and didn't ride his ego from The Last Dragon. Years later he would frequently visit my job at Unique Copy Center at the East Village, making copies of Iron on transfers for his Fitness venture Taimak Fitness. Now it has been 20 years and threw a mutual friend became really close.

 Like me we have been born in the Year of The Dragon, and we started talking about how 2 dragons would collaborate in film and photography. My idea was to do a photo-shoot and interview that would cover the mystery that surrounded him after the success of The Last Dragon. Taimak has done everything from modeling, choreographing a Madonna video, teaching  Director guy Ritchie Jujitsu, and even Robert Deniros son.
