Everything is not picture perfect when the rights are violated. Copyrights versus likeness, a lesson from Shawn Carter and Jonathan Mannion.

In 1999, Lauryn Hill graced the cover of the preview issue of Honey, billed as a "fearless entertainment, fashion, and lifestyle magazine for young, urban women." A first of its kind on American newsstands, Honey earned instant acclaim and quickly developed a devoted readership. On the inaugural episode of Culturati, host Kierna Mayo tells the story of how she started the now cult-classic publication with her best friend, Joicelyn Dingle—and how their early magazine dreams ultimately helped define the Hip-Hop Generation and beyond. We hear from Norell Giancana, Phd who wrote her doctoral dissertation about Honey's impact on hip-hop feminism and the culture at large, and get the behind-the-scenes story of the historic Lauryn Hill "Taste the Future" cover shoot by Jonathan Mannion. Look for Kierna Mayo on Twitter and Instagram @kiernamayo.

Washed Gods. Washed. Never Washed Up. Back like we never left. Another week in the books & the Gods have been busy. Sean has been contemplating employment options. Draft has been doing the same. Both are as enthused about it as you could imagine. Topics this week were right in the pocket. We started off talking about Jay-Z's lawsuit against Jonathan Mannion & Dame Dash. This is the feud that never ends. If it's not one thing, it's another. Police surveillance has reached a new level of intrusive with there ability to track traffic to a particular place at a particular time. How long has this technology been around? And why are they always testing it out in the hood like fast food? Again. If it ain't one thing… Air BNB has been covering up all sorts of potential bad press by paying off victims of crimes while using their clients homes. It makes you wonder what else you don't know about your Air BNB. Tik Tok has a new challenge geared toward white women who can fake cry & stop on cue. I'm not going to say anything that doesn't need to be said. Let's just agree that this isn't a surprise to black people. We're familiar with this bait & switch. RIP Emmitt Till. The conversation broadened out to the idea of censorship online. Companies like Tik Tok, Instagram, & Twitter (NOT YouTube tho) have been known to censor independent content if it supports a narrative they find offensive or disagree with. The Hawks are in the Eastern Conference finals. We'll see how this series plays out. Draft's Top Tweets has made it back into the rotation. One of our favorite continuing topics. What we've been watching & listening to of course. Washed Moments. You know the routine. Like. Subscribe. Share.

Jonathan Mannion is widely known for his work in celebrity portrait photography. His work can be characterized by his unique ability to orchestrate a moment that exposes the subject’s inner essence. He consistently communicates their stories with authenticity, respect and enduring relevance. In Mannion’s words, “My goal is to create the definitive portrait of that person at that moment, every time I shoot.”Mannion was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1970 and graduated from Kenyon College. In 1993, he turned a serendipitous meeting with iconic photographer Richard Avedon into a full-time position that would profoundly shape his craft and career.Mannion first established himself as a cultural force through his work with the recording industry, documenting over twenty years of hip-hop music. Early in his career, when many in mainstream media were dismissing rap music as a passing fad, Mannion was hustling to create the cover art for Jay-Z’s debut LP, Reasonable Doubt. It was the first of many iconic album covers with prominent MC’s that quickly crowned Mannion as hip-hop’s premiere visual biographer. His reputation spread farther through a founding partnership with FADER Magazine, a collaboration that produced dozen of memorable cover images for the publication. He established and elevated a new aesthetic within the genre. The result, in the words of DJ Quik, is that “the world sees hip-hop through [his] eyes.”Over the course of two decades, Mannion has become the go-to creative collaborator for brands and celebrities alike. His portfolio includes many of the most fascinating figures in pop culture, from LeBron James to Kanye West, while his recent brand work includes a global multi-year print ad campaign for Bushmills. Mannion has produced integrated content for iconic brands such as Nike and Hennessey, and was commissioned by venerable photo brand Leica to capture the culture of New Orleans through his lens. Building on this legacy, in 2011 and 2012, Mannion partnered with Reebok to usher the brand’s foray into the art scene during Art Basel in Miami and at MILK Gallery in Los Angeles during Grammy Week. His photos have also been featured at the Grammy Museum, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Brooklyn Museum of Art.Mannion’s tremendous influence on our collective photographic memory is evident, yet he continues to seek and catalyze “what’s next” in culture. From Japan to Jamaica, Mannion has been turning the streets into his studio, partnering with contemporaries who challenge the status quo. Every step of the way, he is sharing the journey in real time, with a public that is hungry for a truth well told.http://jonathanmannion.com/IG: @jonathanmannion

This week, Bob Dylan wins the Nobel Prize for literature and it inspires a discussion around boundaries as they pertain to art and creative pursuits.

Is shooting wildlife somehow “better” than shooting weddings? Also, how much does creative efficiency figure into your own creative process? Are you looking for the shortest line between to points or do you prefer the more scenic route? Jonathan Mannion is our Photographer of the Week.
