In the last year the Getty Flickr collection has encountered some major growth in terms of number of contributors & image content. I see this growth as a good & bad situation. It’s good when my monthly royalty checks are deposited & bad when I have to wait for months to have newly submitted images […]

Erykah Badu’s latest album “New Amerykah, Part 2: Return of the Ankh” is finally here & I’m all in! Of the 12 tracks, I am cracked out 11. I’m sorry, but I just cannot get into “Jump In the Air and Stay There.” Lil Wayne is way too annoying and roach like in appearance! Anyway, […]

This evening I visited the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History for the Black Women Rock event, which was hosted by Detroit’s foxy poet Jessica Care Moore. While enjoying the sites & sounds, I snapped a few images of FluxPhonic during their 1st performance. You may recall me photographing Fluxphonic’s promo shots a […]

I find photographing some blue & or purple flowers to be challenging because my camera seems to not be able to render the actual color for some reason. Luckily, this can be corrected with a few quick moves in Adobe Lightroom. This iris variety like my snow crocuses indicates the start of spring for me. […]

It’s officially spring at my house once I see my crocuses in bloom & today was that day. I get such joy from seeing these bright petals blowing in the breeze. It’s my sign for great blooms to come from the gardens that surround my home. Soon, it will be time to start cleaning up […]

I’ve been addicted to avocados for the last 13 years, ever since Suite Suzy got me cracked out on them. It’s one of the best fruits in the world if you ask me. I eat them with: With eggs In fresh salads On sandwiches With aged gouda cheese & balsamic vinegar With pomegranate arils Beans […]

With the new season comes the need for a new self portrait. Actually, I usually don’t need a reason to photograph myself. Blame it on my narcissism issues.

Right now, she’s my baby. Tomorrow, she’s my baby. Forever she is mine to care for, love, nurture & hold. I value her playfulness, inquisitiveness & yes sometimes her wild child craziness. She is my daughter. A perfect being in my eye. The spitting images of love between my wife and I. What more can […]

Just for shits & giggles, I’d like to share with you how I spent my St. Patrick’s day: I ate 2 bowls of Lucky Charms for breakfast, which was follow by a massive green dump I tried to figure why Negroes get so excited about St. Patrick’s day but came up with nothing credible I […]
