QUOTATIONS OF "BLACK"

"Whenever I use BLACK it relates to some history of Africans in that particular place. It’s the idea of the color BLACK as a metaphor, or as a representation of African-Americans. It’s the notion of BLACK- BLACKNESS - and all its other meanings in relation to the history of race..."

- Fred Wilson



"Most of my fortitude to continue doing the work comes from the moral outrage I feel about the injustices that Black people endure disproportionately daily."

- N. Abdul-Wakil



"In the end, what matters is not skin shade but pan-African consciousness. Loving your complexion, your nose, lips, hair length and texture, no matter what the politics or trends decide, and simply be. That's the problem with us (African folks). We're still learning how to love ourselves. So used to glorifying others and putting others first..."

Fashion REVOLUTION Pictures
The 20th Annual House of Latex Ball (2010)
At The Roseland Ballrooom (NYC)


Hey African FAM,

I finally got around to picking and editing some pics from the 20th Annual House of Latex Ball @ the Roseland Ballroom in New York City on Saturday, August 21th, 2010.

It was a tough shoot as I was far from the stage and located on the balcony/mezzanine (aka less light) though I was lucky to sneak upstairs using a friend's pink wrist band (who left for the evening - THANKS, "D"!), however I had a nice angle overlooking the stage...

With His "Shade" Shield Wrist Bands On - LOL!
If You're At A Ball Scene You Unfortunately
May Need Them To Block "Shade"!



































I Don't Particularly Like Showcases Like This
As It Is A Painful Reminder Of Slavery In My Mind,
But It's Someone's Artist Statement...


It Barely Makes It Onto Nubian Knights Network




Beautiful Chocolate Leopard Bruthaz! LOL!




These Three Bruthaz Asked Me If I Could Take Their Pictures
And I Obliged. These Guys Look Funky Fresh With Their Look.
I Really Like This Pic...
Now If Only I Had Their E-mail Addy To Get Them This Picture




One Can Never Go Wrong Snapping Pics Of Beautiful Bruthaz..



















I Was Getting Ready To Wrap Shooting For the Night.
Using The Bathroom Before I Left,
A Few People Were Getting Their Outfit Ready For The Show.

I Took This Pic Of One Guy Getting Ready.







Vogue, Baby, Vogue!
