Some of the photographs are quite unique and bold; they leave a story to be told. The baby that you see is my grand-nephew who was born on Valentine's Day. He's a cutie, is he not? I guess Aunt Sharon will just have to get her own baby boy and it sure enough will not be Homeboy. Too old, simply too old!

I will focus on one photographer at a time, and use at least 10 photos that was taken by him or her. I will also give their bios and website addresses.

As soon as I shoot 2 rolls from my cameras and get them developed, I will have them scanned and forwarded to the desktop and you will see the beginnings of progress or at least I hope. Any progress is better than none.

Take good care and always remember to smile for the camera! A picture tells a thousand words! Why not have one taken today and have those thousand words turn into dollahs! Holla!

Some of the photographers in this post are: Carolyn E. Wright, Cary Weems, and Bev. Pettit. I was especially impressed with the photography of Bev. Pettit because she had spent her years in different parts of the country and even outside of. Along with the photographers art photos, I will include some photos that I have in my own personal collection. Guess what? Today not only did I use my automatic, but I went ahead and got the two batteries necesary to use my manual Minolta 35 mm. I felt like a photographer in the GET-TOE! I guess I looked unusual; it did not matter because I took pictures of persons at the college, and at the corner store. Tomorrow will be day two: out at the main campus to take care of the school business that I failed to take care of today-and there is a probability 0f getting some added income whether it is college work study, a twenty hour week position or a temporary position. In any event, God has to take the lead in these matters because all I want to do right now is to recite my poetry for cd's and sell them, have my poetry published and wala! homefree......until pier 3, poetry from the projects, the next thing. but first things first..red rose, crimson beauty is in my blood. In the meantime, enjoy these photos. next week, I will feature one photographer only. WE ARE ARTISTS!

message: right now the computer does not want to download any photos, i will return soon so don't despair...we will look at some photos.

photographie by me

if you were to glance into the photos in this post, there is a smile or something positive in all of them. look at this photo of the path lined with trees and a few flowers. something positive for our mind and soul; for our hearts. I can see myself taking a brisk walk down that path with meditating thoughts. so soothing; so relaxing. why not put yourself there for a few minutes. then take a look at the other photos and you will see beauty contained in all of them. i am going to get my 35mm out and start taking photos especially when i go to atlanta. stay tuned my friends for further updates. love you all! pics and poetry!!!
