{Personal Post} PHOTOS: "Ice Cold : An Exhibition of Hip-Hop Jewelry" | New York, NY


This is a two part series.  I was excited to check out the exhibition for Hip-Hop Jewelry simply of my love for the culture.  Artists' and/or their estates donated several of their items to be on display at the exhibit.  Hip-hop sounds blaring.  It was a packed house.  Check it out through my lens...
