Where do I start? I am a servant of the Most High, poet, photographer, publisher, graphic (and t-shirt) designer, event creator/host. To whom much is given, much is required. I guess I owe God a lot? He continues to amaze me, as I continue to trust in Him. I learn new things about myself CONSTANTLY.
Poetry came to me as an assignment in my Senior Composition class... and I haven't stopped yet. Let me paint this right. I HATED school. I mean, if I could have just showed up for the social club, I woulda been cool with that, and my grades reflected that-until that poetry unit. I started, and God blessed it. (Notice a trend here?) In April 2004, I released my debut book of poetry and photography: WaterMelanin. In July 2007, I released my first solo Cd entitled: Live Free and Spit Hard.
I have been a photographer for the majority of my life... I had this secret desire to play with cameras since I was young-my step father ALWAYS had one with him. After meeting Gordon Parks when I was about 15, my destiny was solidified. I mean, I was completly amazed by the things that his lens was able to capture. The contrast in his black and whites, his rugged style. I knew that this was for me! And God blessed it. I never have been ...um, well... NORMAL. And thank God, neither is my eye. I worked in a cell-I mean, studio for 8 years and 5 days, before I finally left to do bigger things.
Lately, I have really been feeling the urge to move from photography to videography and filmmaking. My first project will be a documentary about spoken word poetry.
