Young Gordon Parks?

No where close. Well I'm not sure many of you know this but I've always had a thing for photography. Not so a knack for taking the pictures, rather just being in awe and staring at photos for hours and hours. I've been around photography since an early age, because my uncle Lonnie was a Sports photographer and always would bring back prints of his work from the days of shooting people like Bo Jackson, Ron Harper, Michael Jordan, Deion Sanders the list goes on and on. However my mother not really what you would call a photographer per say took a lot of pictures and always stored them in Photo albums so as I kid I spend a lot of time looking at pictures of family members and friends and just visualizing what that time frame was like and what was going on in those pictures.

Well in October 2007 I was fortunate enough to go with my uncle on a trip to shoot Lebron James and Serena Williams for articles of his companies Magazine(Black Enterprise). Being on the set I didn't realize how serious taking pictures was and how little time you have to get perfection executed. During those 4 days I realized I loved taking pictures myself and I would eventually take a shot at it. Although him and I don't get along, I respect his craft and Hope that maybe someday I can be nice like him with a camera.

I purchased my first "Real" digital Camera Last week nothing special A Canon Power shot to get me started and hopefully once I master this, I will move on to an SLR Canon Rebel perhaps well here are a few of my shots and hopefully you guys like.
