Camoflauge (R.I.P.) September 5th, 2002 HVP Savannah, GA A white girl with a big camera, walking through Savannah’s impoverished HVP housing projects, was more than just a novelty. I felt like a zoo exhibit during this photo shoot - with no fences. By the time we finished this shoot in the projects, quite an audience had gathered. A group of people of all ages mobbed Camoflauge, Savannah’s hometown hero, wanting hugs or asking him for money. As for me, the poking and ass-grabbing didn’t stop until Camoflauge flung his arm around my shoulder and told them to leave me alone. They respected him. Sadly, Camoflauge was shot and killed about eight months after this photo was taken. It’s always sad to see someone with so much potential lose the opportunity to reach their peak. He had the talent, the charisma, and the ambition to make it big. “Everyone knew it was going to happen,” he told the Savannah daily newspaper in 2002, of his impending fame.
