I know it’s forbidden to post about religion or any God’s served, but if we didn’t write about what we feel, think, or experience blogging would be purposeless. So, we’re all given gifts & it would be a shame not to utilize them right? Right. Well, last month I was inspired or enlightened by God to sing a Gospel song, I mean I was raised up in church. This weekend I sing in front of a bunch of people for the first time since 2009. Me? Sing? In church? Where they won’t lie and tell me I sound great when I really sound terrible like my friends would? Yes. Sing. 

I’m so self-conscious & bashful when it comes to vocalizing… but I have so much confidence and excitement to use this gift in a different light. The beautiful thing about it is my mother is playing the keys alongside me. I’ve always wanted to work with my parents musically. Another, is that I never stressed about writing any lyrics down, they spilled out my mouth in an instant melody. And, I’ve been blessed by the words, I hope someone else is blessed Sunday.

Gifts, give and receive.

For I am ever learning the routes of shooting photography, my portfolio (website) is a work in progress (and always changing,) though I am pleased to share it with you. I began shooting at the tail end of 2009 I believe, and have gained so much knowledge and unique perspectives to photographing. Hopefully mag placements and other ops develop as I improve and display.

I plan on doing more concept photographs to force myself to think and be more artful behind the lens: The Black Tones Collection, Portraiture: Portraits & Profiles and King She Collection are projects I’ve started.

Cheers appreciate it, the recent photos uploaded were taken on a minolta x-700 & photoshop.

The thing today is more women are mixing men’s wear into their own womanly styles,I think that’s one of the greatest things to have ever happened to clothing-fashion, mainstream “beauty” norms and physical appearance.

Right on.
