Street-Life Stills (Part #2)

What's going on, Folks ?! Happy Friday, Happy "Late" Friday, I'd just went to a Job Fair at MichiganWorks and had an interview and applying for jobs so i'm gonna hope, pray and believe something good will come out of it, I hope I'll get that Big-Break. In the meantime, here's Part #2 of the Street-Life Photo Stills I took outside Kuumba's Cove, which is located on 227 Iron Street, East of Jefferson St. In Downtown Detroit.

Street-Life Stills

         The Captain has returned and with a blast from the past blog, cause I had to delete it because of address issues, Street-Life Stils from outside Kuumba's Cove on 227 Iron Street east of Jefferson Road in Downtown Detroit. 1st one that says Who is Detroit ? I've been wondering that question and I know all of you wonder as well. Detroit is a city that has had it's up's and down's, twist and turns for over decades, but now we are becoming one with the city , we want to help make Detroit the future (like voice actor Sonny Strait said at Youmacon last year) We Are Detroit !!! And it's seems Motor City is becoming more popular in the city than both Greektown and MGM, although I wanted to go all 3 casinos, but MGM closed down or is it still open ? I don't know. Anywho, More Street-Life Stills coming up, so enjoy.

Last Post of the Year

    Well, 2011 was a pretty decent year, although things didn't go well as I wanted to be. But I still finished the Digital Media Production program at William D. Ford Career Techinical Center, hung out with the Rogue Bard Media team for Awakenings Movement, Chico's Blues and Muse & other projects Rogue Bard has done or put on the backburner, but I still would like to thank them, cause if it hadn't been for them, then i'd be walking a dead end path, however things will change for the better in 2012, cause I made a promise on FaceBook that 2012 will be the year the Captain gets his just due by making a living no matter what it takes.
    I'm going to keep struggling, fighting, praying, running until I get that Big Break that I oh so want. Hope you all out there pray for me as well. And by the way, this is my last post of the year, 2011, i'll be back with many more coming next year and hopefully, no, god be willing that the my day in the sun will shine on me. I want to also say thank you to the people at Awakenings Movement for giving me the opportunity to take some decent photos for them.

Photograph taken by Fyl Frazze, creator of the Rogue Bard Media Production who is currently working on a video that is coming soon, so patience is that of a virtue. Also, a man who is really my age - Deonte Osayande was on hand as well as a lovely woman by the name of Jayne Marie Smith was on hand as well, although she and I, along with Fyl had a decent conversation after the Open Mic Night was coming to a close, hope to see a lot more of her. Kuumba's Cove is a place of poetry, but a place of Art, so if there are any local artist from inside or outside the metro Detroit area and you wish to display your art at this gallery, stop by and talk to the lovely Daune Smith, who is the co-creator of Kuumba's Cove.
    The location is 227 Iron Street east of Jefferson in Detroit, Michigan, I hope you visit this fascinating art gallery and see the artworks that were displayed by some of the best talented artists in and out Detroit and like I said if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please see Daune and she'll take it from there, but in the meantime, hope enjoy the photos from this two-part blog and i'll get back to you from there.

Christmas at Kuumba's Cove (Part #1)

What up, Metro Detroiters ! I'm back to present to you another post for today. Last Friday Night, for those who weren't there that night, it was announced by the creator of Kuumba's Cove, Diallo Smith that we have a one night only poetry night featuring the most talented and wacky poets around the city of Detroit, including your's truly, I rocked the house that night with poems that I written and a preview of a poem i'm working on called Tomorrow People, it's about my perspective on what's happen then and now. there'll are five chapters to the story, one will be about reality drama, some will be about the life and times of Detroit, events that changed history and many more. Right now, this is Part #1 of this blog where it's from the host, Diallo Smith with the introductions and one man who is the 3rd photograph, I forgot his name, but the open mic poets were none other than the infamous Cesear Torreano, you can catch him every thursday night from 9:00pm - 12:00am as he is the host of Nandi's Knowledge Cafe. The Lovely but talented Fara Moan was on hand, as well as my church going friend, Lucky whom I see sundays for Awakenings Movement which is at the Detroit School of Arts on 123 & Seldon in Detroit, MI. The other two, I seem to forget their names, but i'll remember their names sooner or later, but anyway enjoy Part #1 of these photos and part #2 coming soon.

Suggestions & Promises

      Ever since I've been taking pictures, for a couple of months i've been hearing some suggestions about creating a photobook or a calendar. Well, my friends, i'm going to make those dreams come true. However, some of my photos will be set up in a future gallery that will be explained in for a few years or longer, along with my paintings as well. Also, Poetry at Kuumba's Cove is back & next month on Friday December the 16th, the cove will have some of the best poets from the city of Detroit, i'm hoping i'll be there so I can spit out my Peace on the Mic.
      It's been forever since I been on that stage. Hopefully, Diallo Smith or Daune Smith will host this event
The location is 227 Iron Street East of Jefferson in Downtown Detroit, Michigan. Anywho, i'm looking forward to showing each and every one of you my best stuff. More will be coming soon, you know what to do if have any questions, comments and concerns.
