I remember when I used to attend ArtMonday’s at Atlanta’s Apache Cafe as simply a photographer and artist. I’d walk in from a hard workday of a grind that was not mind doing work that, while it was substantive, it was also soulless to me and would leave me drained. So when I would get here it was like a baptism for my soul; a creative baptism in a communion of artists, photographers, models, DJs a...

We took a moment. In the midst of working on images for a forthcoming feature and the promo images for our AfroSocial event in Atlanta, I had the fortune to see earthSista Phoenyx stand by the window in the studio down the hall in between sets… and I was inspired. Lightly draped in gold leaf pain, lovingly applied by the artist Ashaunti, her beautiful figure was delicately accentuated in silhouett...

Last Sunday we returned to the lake. It was our annual Fall Nature Stroll where the earthSistas and earthBrothas host a group of photographers and cultivators on an excursion through nature. The Cultivators are the purveyors of the “culture that cultivates an Afrosensual Aesthetic.” It was such an inspired morning that it led to reflections of moments on another Nature Stroll… Zeus DaShaman is Cul...

When earthSista RaeOfLite stepped from the sun-drenched wooden gazebo that stretched across a small lake to bridge that reached back to land, she ducked down into all of the over growth and found a small babbling brook to wade in. Under the shade of brush and branch, the breeze was cool and the water was refreshing. The natural melody of the trickling of the tiny stream was soothing. And with life...

Years ago… a story was told of earthBrotha Masai asking a earthSista Lotus to twist his locs. It was an early morning when they would go to that room in the back of the house that nobody went to and steal a moment of authentic intimacy. Years ago we captured that moment leaving so many pieces of it on the cutting room floor. Today we revisit those pieces. Again this is a revisit of the collection ...

This was Nambi’s spot. Following her initial nature stroll, the nubian beauty had a notion of an ideal spot to revisit the wild. And on a momentary interlude at the spot she’d discovered, she blazed a trail through an, until then, undiscovered wilderness filled with lush organic beauty, bubbling brooks and inspiration. Light cast through the openings left by the leaves and tree limbs and wind. Na...

Patchouli oil botanicals and dark temptation incense spice the air as YEME and TREE posed and played. Neon blue and yellow lights danced off the firetruck red couch and the brick walls to find space on the body parts not hidden behind hands that grabbed chests, breasts, ass and cock. Fingers thirsty for touch. Eyes tempting tongues hungry for taste. It’s not the time yet. It’s the mome...
