I am not a big fan of going out during the week, but when my girl Mayaeni organized a show, there was no way that I could not be there. She gave the standing room audience everything they needed and then some! And as an extra rock songstress bonus, she had Steffanie Christi’an on stage […]

Last Friday, I photographed The Parade Company’s “Hob Nobble Gobble” black tie event. The event always has a host of local & national celebrities that guest have the chance to interact with up close & personal. I’m not usually one who is star struck but this time around, I kind of was because Doug E […]

One of the VERY 1st CDs that I EVERY purchased was Rachelle Ferrell’s self titled album “Rachelle Ferrell” back in 1992. I purchased the album because I fell in love with her voice on “No Rhyme, No Reason” by George Duke, where she was on background vocals. I was infatuated. The “Rachelle Ferrell” album didn’t […]

Last night, I did something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time, which was to attend the Detroit edition of The Moth story hour and tell a story. When I learned that the theme was food for the most recent event, I made it my business to make sure that I attended. Once […]

Last night, I braved the frigid Michigan temperatures to see my friends Fluxphonic perform at a local hip hop event. Ironically, they are not a hip hop group but that did not stop them from rocking the crowd with their brand of funk. Last night was my 1st time seeing lead singer Steffanie Christi’an in […]

Clearly I am getting old or maybe it is the fact that I am too far removed from pop music.  Since I stopped listening to popular radio I rarely know who all these young “singers/performers” are. My kids try to tell me but I have to tune it out. I cannot listen to their music. […]

Last Friday, I covered the Half Way House event for Fusicology. The show billing included Bilal, Suai, DJ Rich Medina & DJ Minx on the billing. When I heard about the event, I was excited! I LOVE Rich, Minx & I was looking forward to seeing Suai perform (my 1st time of me seeing her). […]

The calm on Celia’s face the, the sweat on her chest and the applauding audience created perfect storm in my mind… My favorite moment to capture at a concert performance is when the artist takes a step back and absorbs the audience’s vibe. I find this time to be especially intense when the crowd is […]
