When one door closes

When one door closes...I created this collage some time ago but it just hit me that the colors and global representation reminds me of the conversation surrounding the Oscars. Interesting...

Black History (Every) Month

That time my lens captured Major General Marcia Anderson, the army’s first black female 2-Star General, and Marjorie Harvey at the Steve and Marjorie Harvey Foundation's Girls Who Rule the World mentoring camp graduation. 

It's in the details

As much as I like to say that what I do is "people photography", I also love to observe the details...

Like Mother, Like Daughter

One of the soul-shining images taken from my passion project, The Anita Claire Project. 

"She always says I remind her of her mom..." - Mia, on her mom

It's the weekend

Just when you're "up to your neck"...the weekend is upon us...
