Photography

I love photos. Those who know me well, can tell you always be camera ready around me. I am known for snapping a pic of you when you least expect it. I love candid photos. Where you not necessarily looking at the camera and prepared for the picture.

Here are a few of my favorite photographers.

I recently learned that D-nice, the rapper, is now a photographer. D-nice is know for his hit "My name is D-nice." He is engaged to actress, Melinda Williams. She is best known for her role as Bird in Soul Food the series.

Both photos by D-nice

I spend a lot of time on his website. I love the passion he puts into his art. He catches the emotion and spirit of his subjects in his photos. Below are some of my favorite photos by him.









This picture of Mary J. in South Africa is one of my favorites because it's an action photo and how the spot light is shown.





The brooklyn bridge photo is beautiful. It's not taken on a clear night, but on a cloudy one. The bridge and lights make this photo.







Another favorite is Ross Knight. He has become very popular over the last year. His work is truely beautiful. He catches every detail, his subjects personality and emotions. Ross' work is amazing. He has a true talent. I think I've stalked his website for the last year. I am considering taking one of his workshops. Can you tell I like his work!?!

You may have seen his work last year when the photo slideshow of Robert's proposal to Keisha in Atlanta was forward to thousands through email. The couple has been featured on Oprah's and Essence websites. Check out their website. They are the cutest couple and had a beautiful proposal. They are getting married in October 2008.

Ross is engaged to Brandi. They are getting married in March. Check out his proposal. It was really sweet and simple.

The Wedding Industry

Today while chatting with my girls we began discussing the wedding industry. The hoopla and money associate with a wedding. During this conversation I stated that how happy I am I didn’t stick with the original budget we had for our wedding. How I would be mad if I had spent that much now that I am married. Some times I feel like I am anti-weddings. It might be from being on The Knot (TK) since this past July. Or seeing couples, especially the women, put so much work, time and focus into their wedding and its over in a snap! Some spend a year or more planning their wedding. Researching, looking, buying and stressing over every detail of it and the day is over before you know it. I am NOT saying don’t do what YOU want, but do NOT get caught up in the hype! I mean seriously, would you put this much time in planning a party? A get together? A retirement party? Nope... so why your wedding? It's technically a party. It is a celebration of your union. Definition of wedding (1) a marriage...

Tornado in ATL

Friday night a tornado hit downtown Atlanta. I still can not believe it. It is amazing to see the damage it caused. I was born and raised in this city! This is the stuff I watch on the news not a few blocks from my house! I was moments from being caught in it. Thank God I was running behind for once in my life. I am normally very on time but wasn’t Friday night. I was and left a few minutes behind. There is major damage less than a mile from my house. I love living downtown, but the other day I wasn’t so in love with the idea! Thankfully no one I know was injured or had major damage to their homes. One of my favorite bars, the Harlem Bar is closed. It is on Edgewood. The tornado did some serious damage to that area. I am thankful that few were injured and no one was killed. It’s amazing that now one was since it hit in a very populated area. Thank God it was 9:30pm and not rush hour!

Inappropriate Questions

I am the queen of asking questions. I ask because I rather ask than assume, but I try not to ask inappropriate questions. If only others would do so too! Here are some I get and/or hear. “What grade are you in?” Um stupid motherf’er I am GROWN! Notice the diamonds on my left hand and my wedding band. The nice business casual clothes! This is a question I get atleast once a month from some random stupid person that don’t know me and they usually get a rude response. I mean if you are observant enough to look at me and think I’m that young you need to really be observant! And I’m a sistah, yes with a H! Yall know black don’t crack! “When are you due?” This one always makes me laugh when someone ask a woman who has a muffin top stomach and is NOT pregnant! I know it’s funny to me since I don’t get that question, but still how ignorant is that! “When are you having kids?” Um lets see, never! Why are you all in our sex life? I mean really! I am going to start saying, “We ...
