“I can’t be a pessimist because I’m alive.

“I can’t be a pessimist because I’m alive. To be a pessimist means that you have agreed that human life is an academic matter, so I’m forced to be an optimist; I’m forced to believe that we can survive whatever we must survive, but the future of the Negro in this country is precisely as bright or as dark as the future of the country. It is entirely up to the American people whether or not they are going to face and deal with and embrace the stranger whom they maligned so long. What white people have to do, is try to find out in their own hearts why it was necessary to have a nigger in the first place, because I’m not a nigger, I’m a man, but if you think I’m a nigger, it means you need it. Why? That’s the question you have got to ask yourself - the white population has got to ask itself - north and south, because it’s one country for a Negro. There’s no difference between the north and south. There’s just a difference in the way they castrate you, but the fact of the castration is the American fact.” - James Baldwin/1963.

This was said 57 years ago people and I’m still a very fearful black man and fearful father of a black son. That is a fact. 😢

It’s an auspicious occasion anytime I read Conversations with James Baldwin, so I decided to dress for the occasion this time. Why not? .

Pause 05/17/2020.
Sometimes sleep can be so elusive. So I woke and ended up reading of a friend’s 20 day and counting struggle with Covid19 and was yet again reminded that we still have a way to go people. Stay safe. .

Pause 05/07/2020
If ever you’re looking for me you can always find me in my head. * There’s so much you hear in the still of the night.
* I realized that every time I pray I remember my mother.
* Blue light is really more white than blue, at least to my eyes.
* Everyone is an artist, but only some of us really are.
* This life is like a movie. This movie is just like life.
* What word would really describe the sound of a passing car at night? -

Pause 04/27/2020
It’s another Monday morning during a pandemic. Not the typical Monday morning we were used too, waking up to get dressed and leave for work. Having dread it’s arrival all of the previous Sunday and then complaining about having the Monday blues. This is another Monday morning during a pandemic and I’m sure many of us are yearning for the way it used to be. Yearning for a return to normalcy. Whatever that may be. But for this Monday we accept the things we cannot change, and wake up and for some, like me, actually go to work in my living room, exercise at some point, eat breakfast, live with my loved ones and be eternally grateful that I am still able to do all these things and more in good health. .

Sometimes I imagine myself in a position of power and here I am looking down on this current administration thinking wtf... #AdvancedSelfie #nycphotographer #meninphotos #portrait #lifestyle #classic #hope #liveauthentic #Covid-19 #Pause #staysafe #stayathome #photooftheday #bookme #selflove #unapologetic #blessed #rawlejackman #faith #hardwork #prayer #neverstop #portraitphotography #portraitpage #nyc #portraiture #fineart #excellence

Pause 04/21/2020
Not screaming anymore, for now. But seriously and continually amazed at how vastly ignorant and easily led, many in this very modern society can be. Today’s headline: “Kentucky sees highest spike in coronavirus cases after protest”... ummm duhhhhhh, this is not fake news buddy. Covid19 is quite real.

If ever you wondered what the artist inside me looks like when he’s screaming to break free of societal norms...😉

A foray into the amazingly enlightening world of self-portraiture. Not for the faint of heart. If you doubt me, then try one. .

Pause 04/17/2020
Working from home makes you ask why is it necessary to spend an entire day at an office, when so much can be done without being there? Strange societal construct. Let’s see if this would be among the many things we change coming out of this. How much of your job requires you to be physically there? And how much of it is reactionary? .
