Captain's Back & with a New Name

 

    The Captain has returned and with a New name and same purpose. . . To spread the word of Captain's Cove: Detroit. It's been a year since I posted anything here on the blog, but now I have returned to post on the blog. My New Year's Resolution for 2022 and Beyond is less planning and more doing when it comes to Canvas-Art, Photo-Art and soon Video-Art Content for YouTube, even though I won't be on Social Media too much and too often. Speaking of Social Media, there will be some changes for FaceBook, Twitter, Pintrest & Instagram. TikTok coming soon in the future as well as a Future Website, so it's going to take some time and work to Bare Fruit. These 2 Images represent me as a Canvas & Photo Artist spreading the word and getting my name out to Detroit as well as the areas that surround it in a Positive matter. Your thinking, why come up with the name "Captain's Cove" ?  The idea came when I 1st visited Kummba's Cove Art Gallery when I was with the Rogue Bard Media LLC Crew back in 2011, when I did Poetry for Nommo, did content there at times, the Cove was my home away from home and I was fascinated by the people I met whom were and still like a 2nd family to me and the Art that was in place. . . Unfortunately the Cove was shutdown in 2013 or 2014. Kummba's Cove will always be a special place in my heart and so I decided to name my new Media Gallery & Production "Captain's Cove: Detroit". Even though I'll be doing Content of my own, working with Rogue Bard more as well hopefully working with CyberStars: Detroit and if you don't know what CyberStars is, it's a Media Production with Skits and Shorts, it is created by my friend and FedEX Work-Brother, David Ragin who is also a musician . Do not forget to follow him on Social Media. These harsh times with this Nightmarish and Deadly Pandemic curse known as COVID-19 and the restrictions has gotten the best of us with people getting sick and testing positve and dying from this cursed evil, but we can't let it take control of our lives physically and mentally, we still have to Mask-Up and stay true to the 4 to 6ft rule. So, let's Stay Safe, Stay Healthly and Stay Gold.

Production Experimentals

    Back with more experimentals, from the Production part that is. The times i've spent with the Rogue Bard Media crew were fun at times, if only I could relive and go back to times, however what's done is done and I can't go back to that, even with the mistakes I made. And the photograph of me taking a photo of Wynter. Although the photo was taken by Mr. Fyl Frazee of Rogue Bard Media. All 3 of these were photoshopped by yours truly, due to my experimental and creative genius. 1st two are painted with Paint Daubs and Accented Strokes and the 3rd and final is poster-like. More Experimentals coming soon. For more info on Rogue Bard Media LLC, visit their website at RogueBardMedia.com

Blast from the Past - Deathwatch. . . Again.

    I'm back and I've done some digging into my past and found stills of the Rogue Bard feature, Deathwatch which we did back in the William D. Ford years. Where students of the William D. Ford Career Tech Center, I was one of them, whom was boosting his photography, teaming up with Rogue Bard Media LLC. 1st is Jimmy(Don Dryuor) on the Microphone from the Radio Station, then both Jimmy and Marty being interviewed by the radio D.J (forgot the name but was played by Kamal Smith). These guys along with other students, including me did a great job with the acting, with getting the lines right and I did a great job with another photographer with the stills. Wish we had a reunion looking back on this and me and the bards put our issues in the past. Anywho, check out Kamal Smith on Because We're Men every sunday at 5:00pm on MyTV-20 Detroit, and if you want more the bards go to their webpage at www.RogueBardMedia.com. More post coming soon.

2013: The Year in Review - Part #1

 

 

  2013 has been pretty wild, but regrettingly disappointing, these stills tell a different story.

January, myself and the Rogue Bard crew did  production of Can't Get No Play, which was awesome. Next was the Portrait Photoshoot of the Producer of Rogue Bard Media, Mr. Phil Frazze which wasn't too shabby. However, on October 6th 2013, me and Phil had a heated argument on FaceBook, I ruined a day of production for him and I didn't even had the right to take responsiblity, wish I could, but couldn't. I blew it and was full of it. For that, I blamed and lost one of my best friends for false reasons.

I asked myself "What have I done ?" This isn't the 1st time I made mistakes and they won't be the last. Enough of the negatives, on to the Positives, next was the Spring where this Pinkish, Violet Blossom tree made decent results, more of 2013 in review continues, enjoy.

More Behind the Scenes

   Summer is alrady here and we starting off with more Behind the Scenes stills from my adventures with Rogue Bard Media, 1st is from this past spring when came up with an idea to shoot a short of his version of the Legend of Zelda starring his two adorable children and Dan as the Ogre or Troll. I've could've been in it as a warlord, but maybe someday soon. 2nd is from Detroit when we was shooting a scene from Can't Get No Play where my character goes to the Airport to meet the woman of his dream. More Stills and projects from Rogue Bard and myself coming soon. Enjoy !

Workin the Carwash

    What it do, Bloggers ? Back for another post, like this one video short me and the Rogue Bard Crew have come up. It's called workin in the Car Wash. Where I try to wash my car(Actually it's Fyl's Car), then a robber or Mugger(Dan Dowell) points a gun at me, but I strike back, well watch this video and you'll see what i'm talking about. For more shorts, check out the website at www.RogueBardMedia.com or visit their FaceBook or YouTube page. More posts coming soon.

Behind the Scenes with Rogue Bard Media

   Good day to you, Bloggers out there ! Here some Behind the Scene stills with Rogue Bard Media at the Coin-Op Car Wash on Wayne Road in Westland, MI. I know they look over-exposed, but these were stills I wanted to take. This was for a Fight Scene that myself and Danno Dowell did. The rest of the stills were taken by Krystal Frazze. Hopefully the actual video will be done in due time, in the meantime, sit back and enjoy. More Post coming soon.

It was just a Hiatus.

  Hello, Bloggers. . . The Captain is Back and is wish you all a Happy Easter. Sorry to keep you waiting, but i'd decided to give up posting for lent - giving something up of equal value. Although this month is about to reach it's climax, I have some news. Myself and Rogue Bard Media are putting together a documentary on one important question, does Jesus love the LGBT(Lesbians, Gays, Bi-Sexuals and Transgenders) ? We are running a Kickstarter Campaign in order to get this movie started, so we need your generous donations in order to get this started. If you do that, then we'll be so happy to get the working. Some Behind the Scenes stills will also be part of this, as well as some funny videos as well. Also, more stills from Detroit Essence will be coming soon as well as more projects from the Rogue Bard Crew. Plus, i'll be coming up with my own Painting Show coming in end of summer/beginning of Autumn. Usually, you would the Best of the Joy of Painting and watch Bob Ross perform his talents with Oil Paint and his artworks look real and fascinating. But I'll be using Acrylic Paint, we'll see how this plays out for me. More post coming soon, so enjoy. Leave me some question and i'll get back to you with some answers.

Blast of the Past - Part #2: DeathWatch Trailer - Rick

      Here's another blast from the Past during my escapdes with Rogue Bard Media, this is a character trailer from 2012 movie created by Rogue Bard Media and students of William D. Ford Career Technical Center, Deathwatch ! I play Rick - the Token Black Guy who puts %100 effort into his work, but gets treated like crap by his employers, Marty and Jimmy (played by Don Druyor and Devon Winters). He's shows the new guy, Carl (played by Cale LaBean) all the tips on how to deal with the Paranormal activities to gain fame. Fyl said that this was going to be the worst movie ever, but I really recommend that you should see this movie for yourself to see what you think. For more on DeathWatch, visit the Rogue Bard Media Website at www.RogueBardMedia.com

Walker 2012 - Blast from the Past: Part #1

    A Blast from the Past, last year Rogue Bard Media and myself done a project on what we think of Joseph Kony and the invisible children campaign. However, the real Joseph Kony is still on the loose in the lower levels of Uganda and must be stopped from recruiting more innocent children into his sinister army, for more info, please visit the website at www.InvisbleChidrenInc.com and find out on how you can help bring this terrorist scum to justice. For more info on other project by myself and the Rogue Bard crew, visit www.RogueBardMedia.com

        Hello, Bloggers. . . The Captain has returned and with some exciting news, just got done shooting senior stills of a young girl throughout the Plymouth-Canton areas. Brian Williams is still thinking about hiring me for weddings for Detroit Essence. Oh, i'm so excited ! But i'm still going to look for more work for the holiday season. I'm going to also try freelance photography for awhile to keep ends meat. So, pray for me. There will be new post involving my Paintings and hopefully my Photography.

Can't Get No Play Teaser

  Sorry to keep you waiting, this is the Teaser to the Internet Series, Can't Get No Play. I play Dave, your everyday high school student who has eyes on the GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS !!! However, he is caught between a rock and a hard place when his mind is focused on two in particular. One who plays a computer game with him (played by Shannon Salisbury) and another female he meets on the internet (played by Samantha Chau) This is season 1, were still trying to finish up, but it's going to take more than a while. Cast include: Michael Williams, Josh Gill & Fyl Frazze as the Devil. Hope you check it out soon.

Good News

 The Captain has returned and with some exciting news, well two to be exact. 1st, thanks to my Social Worker, I'll be doing some Photography work for Brian Williams at Detroit Esscence of Photography which is located on 21700 Greenfield in Oak Park, MI 48237. Although this will be a TWE (Trial Work Expierence), but at least something good will come out of it. 2nd, I'll be making my PAHfest debut along with the Rogue Bard Media crew sometime around this season of Summer. I'm looking forward into these events. More post coming soon. . .

My Very First Copyright

     This bring back memories, when I first got into William D. Ford I was a mere nobody, didn't know nothing about Photography whatsoever, however I did try, but kept messing up, until this shot of Dave "Jibber" Sobecki proved to be the difference maker. Mr. A (Mr. Louis Amadio) whom was my instructor at the time said that this was my A-Shot. Not although all works of Art don't have to be perfect, but people would continue to comment about it (Positive & Negative). The next year, Fyl Frazze had came up with the Idea of Watermarking, you when the Rogue Bard Media crew took photos of their work, they would always Watermark their photos with the Rogue Bard Media symbol as a copyright. When I started this blog last year, I tried posted my work blank, but Fyl once again gave me the idea of Watermark, show I took under consideration to allow him to help me Watermark what photos I took to post in this blog. This is my very 1st Studio Still for this blog - A head & sholder photograph of Dave "Jibber" Sobecki ! (Forgot to tell you, he's also a photographer as well.)

More Awakenings Favorites

      I'm back from another hiatus, must've been a couple of days. Oh well, here some more photos from Awakenings Movement that are my favorites and made me into a decent Photographer as someone I know said. 1st photo was one woman looking around, wondering what Awakenings is all about, and at last finally understands. 2nd Photo, well, this is my second time posting this, but this copyright tells the story, the other one was copyrighted by Rogue Bard Media.

Awakenings Movement Favorite

     Here's another favorite photo I took at Awakenings Movements. Although I did another one like this, but asked Danielle to sit on the rear of the windows and look outside to even it up, but for this one, the subject was unaware that I was getting a photograph of him which is one of my best photos along with the woman praying on stage at Kuumba's Cove on the first post of this blog. If you wish to come out to the Big-D (Downtown Detroit) to see what Awakenings Movement is all about, head on down to the Detroit School of Arts on 123 Seldon in Detroit, Michigan so you can get your church on and there you'll meet Diallo Smith, who is the Architect, brains behind the Awakenings Movement, also you meet up with Jameel Smith, who is the brains behind Kid Motion. If you feel that you are in need of refreshment, head down to Kuumba's Cafe where Daune Smith can hook you up.  I thank Rogue Bard Media for Watermarking with their logo.

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.
