Nico is my cousin, so I have the pleasure of knowing this kid personally. When he was little, he was obsessed with Power Rangers. He did tae kwon do. Now he plays soccer and is in a band. He is an exceptional example of how a person can look exactly like their mother from one angle, and exactly like their father from another. He also looks remarkably like my brother Shaun, and also like my grandfather (the Simms’ have strong genes, it would seem).

I love working with Seniors and wish I was able to do it more often. Nico was so much fun, and he was totally down with doing his portraits at the graffiti wall, which I thought would fit his personality so well. He liked it, and we got to talk about what he’s doing in school for design – I went to college for graphic design, so hearing about what he was doing was really interesting. I also got to listen to his band and just generally get to know him better, which was awesome because I don’t get to see him very often.

Thanks Nico, for hanging out with me for the day!

This is one of Nico’s favorites:
