“Roommates” It was an erotic story I wrote last Spring, When I sat down with Nala and remy the ECCENTRICsoul to plan our shoot, we decided to build a visual concept around my story. We were going to take an artistic interpretation the story with me as a writer toiling away with the story, Nala as my manifested imagination, and Remy behind the lens being the “eyes” of the male character by creating a series of dramatic images.  However, it ended up being more of a celebration of our diverse and natural Black beauty. The contrast of our lovely natural crowns, the shades of our brown...

Carolyn Grady of RhythmLife Entertainment, shared her love of this particular mix by DJ Rahdu of BamaLoveSoul. BamaLoveSoul is a Movement created to change the perception that everyone in Alabama listens to a certain type of music, BamaLoveSoul has become so much more! Its contributors have become highly regarded international taste makers, who help shed light on new artists & sounds to a community with discerning taste. Its a smooth mix of some old school soulful music of the Roots and I was curious as how it might enhance the experience of this beautiful image set.

The following is a story I was fortunate to read by Surya Devi Shofar on blog The Sex-Sensual Griot. As I read it, I was intrigued and thought that I should do a write up of my own but the more I read, the more I realized that Surya’s story says it all. So here it is. Naked Expressions of Leading Black Women! The naked unveiling of her body in her video, “Window Seat”, was Erica’s way of showing the world that she has climbed higher dimensions of her spiritual journey while making a fierce political statement that inter weaved the past and brought us a flash into the...

He’s worked with a DSLR for about 2 1/2 years and in that short time he’s done magazine editorials, two clothing line campaigns, two skin care campaigns and an underwear line… He “now teach others the little bit I know.” In those two years I guess he has learned the technical aspects of photography but the creative artistry portrayed in his works belies that relatively short period of study. And his vision is clear in both his...

So I’m at Apache Cafe and Lounge and I am talking to some of the patrons about the portal and the types of images I think we should capture. Artistic…sexy…provocative, most of the things we say are typically used for almost every other venue that focuses on creating beautiful images of women. But no matter how sexy or revealing, there is some aspect to the content that has to be considered. Now not all of what is posted to the portal will be for everyone’s taste. And I personally feel that I walk a line when I consider what I want to create for the Garden. And this is the...
