Meet Your Messenger: “Cheatdeath” Gabe
We met Gabe bright and early one Saturday morning in April during Cesar’s photoshoot for UberRUSH. Our obvious first question to him was, “How’d you get that epic nickname?” But there’s so much more to this messenger than meets the eye. New York City, meet Gabe.
Meet Your Messenger: Cesar
We first met Cesar through fellow RUSH messenger, Carl, who connected us when we were in need of an amazing photographer. With less than a day’s preparation, Cesar masterfully orchestrated our entire UberRUSH photoshoot, and quickly injected color and life into the project. (The photo above was taken when Cesar finally let us turn the camera on him.) New York City, read here for more on Cesar.
