“A Free Degree in Anthropology” Lauri Lyons November 19, 2009

Work is still getting its pound of flesh, so I will keep it brief, Lauri Lyons is the first African American female to be represented by Getty Images; with this I have already spoken volumes.

All People are Beautiful November 6, 2009

This is something I have always believed, and I am not talking beauty on the inside, I am talking aesthetics, facially, some people you have to look a little harder than others, some times you find it in fleeting expressions, other  times it is a permanent fixture.

I found Facity which confirms my theory in part, to [...]

Howard Bingham – Technical Knock Out May 28, 2007

I loved Bingham’s work with out knowing who he was, I collected pictures of Mohammed Ali on a web site a while back, little did I know they were taken by the same photographer.
He was kicked out of school and told to pursue another career apart from photography, like the Greatest Ali, sheer determination always [...]

Steven Katzman- Darkroom Don March 19, 2007

Photography has always been one of my great loves, but I have always thought it is one of those arts, that you can easily get by with very little talent, many photographers know nothing about dark room techniques. I feel the same way about digital photography, though it does require just as much skill to [...]

Thierry Le Goues – Soul Amazones March 11, 2007

Whilst perusing my blog stats, I found a search item “beautiful nudes”, which reminded me of a coffee table book I own titled “Soul”(least I think I do, I have not seen it for a while) with the most beautiful nude pictures of black women including Alek Wek, Naomi Campbell and Iman, exquisite high contrast photographs which were [...]

Marc Baptiste – Delicious! March 1, 2007

 
When I grow up I want to be a fashion photographer, okay I’m all grown and I am not a fashion photographer but if I was I would want to be Marc Baptiste, because then I would have taken my favorite picture of Lauren Hill (below). In all honesty Marc is not my favorite photographer, [...]

Jules Arthur – Hypnotic Splendor February 26, 2007

 
Sisters
I can tell how much I like an artist, by the amount of time I spend on their site, in Jules’s case too long, besides his work the site itself is fierce, a beautiful platform to showcase his work, I love elegant design.
His work is hypnotic splendor, his subjects draw you in with their eyes reading your soul and telling [...]

Saul Zanolari – The Wizard February 13, 2007

Marc 2006
Should I be scared, amused or simply enchanted, I am confused and amazed, I guess that is good? right.
Caricatured images which apparently start off as photographs, even his family do not escape his masterful skill. I can imagine his friends arguing over who he should rework next. I think Ru Paul got off lightly.
Future London exhibition  [...]

Contemporary African Art Collection January 27, 2007

It is cold outside, so instead of getting off my butt and doing the weekly shop, I sent my unwilling partner to get some bread the staple of any healthy diet, well the other option was to help me clear out a bedroom which currently looks like a store, faced with those options, the shop [...]

Seydou Keita The Best Start January 21, 2007

… will be one of my favorite artist none other than self taught African photographer Seydou Keita,

firstly because photography is largely seen as a puruit of the western world, we are always bombarded with images of poverty and under development, one aspect of Africa which is often reproduced by white photographers. Africa’s rich culture and the love for displays [...]
