Urban Warrior: Anthony Collins (aka Thosh)

Anthony (aka Thosh) Collins (Pima/Osage/Seneca-Cayuga) is a photographer based out of Los Angeles who tells Urban Native Girl Stuff the ten things he can't live without. Check out the latest issue of Life & Style Magazine to see his photos with New Moon wolf pack hunk Alex Meraz.

1. Feathers
I can't live without that eagle medicine that keeps me grounded in LA. Can't be an Urban Warrior if I ain't got any feathers watching over me.
2. Han Cholo ninja star necklace
Because it's fly and only a hundred of them were made, which reminds me its missing since my last trip, ha!

3. Canon EOS 5d-40D
My livelihood depends on it. No camera, no eat.

4. Thailand Plaza
This is the place in the city where you'll find me at on the regular. It is in Thai Town in East Hollywood. I just gotta get that Pad Si Ew fix!
5. Fitted New Era's
I just gotta have 'em because they're fly like that.



6. Macbook Pro
This is the other robot I can't live without. The Canon 5D-40D go hand in hand with Macbook there all robotic chumz ya know.

7. My music
Records, mp3's, lives streams online, its gets me through my day. You'll find my TV sitting in the corner unplugged if its not packed away in the closet. Some of my favorite streams are http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/benjib/ and http://www.samurai.fm/ampsoulgeneration/index.php.
8. Lighting system (Photoflex or Profoto)
I can't live without a lighting system. I mean I guess I could if I wanted to, I'm good at bending natural light buts its the idea of having control of the lighting and making it do what you want whenever you want. Yeaaayuuuuh! Ya'll find me in bed with Photoflex or Profoto.

9. Ben Sherman Sneaks

I like to track around the city in them because they're mad comfy and can pass for sporty and dressy/casual at the same time.

10. iPhone and LG Venus phone
I can't do without those two. They're a part of my nervous system now got them apps where any incoming message just gets uploaded to my short term memory. 

Inspired by Toronto Life's 'City Survivor' pages, UNGS is selecting Indigenous individuals from all over who represent what it is to be a Native person living in today's modern world and how we decide to navigate it.
