Black photographers, keep going!!! Please. The "photo world" has many problems, and although we need opportunities, they are not the reason we work. Stay grounded and support each-other. We always have and we always will overcome, on our own terms!

white photographers have the opportunity to rise to the occasion or fail, but know either way their friends will hire them again. Black photographers have to knock it out the park every-time. Very often, much of our success is based on survival.

As a “street photographer” you have to be fine with people looking at you crazy. As a “Black street photographer” you have to be fine with people looking at you extra crazy, and pray your camera isn’t mistaken for a gun.

folks will send millions of emails about photos but then get silent when I send over the invoice. most black photographers I know are building from the ground up and don't have time or luxury with these kinds of games.

the journey has been so real. i really did not start with much - a sink and a pocket full of dreams. a decade and 3 darkrooms later and my dreams are only getting bigger. god is good but faith without work is dead.

For me, black and white photography is the perfect medium. By stripping the color away I'm simply inviting the viewer in, giving you a chance to imagine. Color gets in the way, it's too familiar.

A lot of photographers these days but not many authors. One of the reasons why I hate the term street photography, like it’s some sport. Why make work and not express yourself. Simply operating a tool sounds like a 9-5 job
