I have 272 fans and 208 plays.  Do the math.  That means that other artists on the site and . . . → Read More: It Irks Me…

Share

 

 

 

I find it interesting to know what people were thinking about when they created what they created.  What was the thought process or the creation process like?  What did it start with and how did it evolve?

A Letter to Jeffrey

Jeffrey, we are both learning. 

There’s this “recession,” but women still get their hair done, nails done, go shopping…  It’s called a recession because now white people are being affected more and more.  But, for the average person who lives paycheck to paycheck anyway, there’s nothing different.  Cost of food and gas always go up, . . . → Read More: A Letter to Jeffrey

My son and I could go out and take a walk, each with camera in hand.  He will come back with some fantastic shots.  We see the same things, but differently.  He’s got that photographer’s eye. 

He’s the official photographer for several events and is definitely one of my own personal photographers.  I hope that . . . → Read More: My son the photographer

Unfortunately Racism is Still Very Much Alive in 2009

Two weeks ago outside Philadelphia, sixty-five children from a summer camp tried to go swimming at a club their camp had a contract to use. Evidently, the club didn’t know the kids were largely Black.
