Greetings!!
I had the PLEASURE of participating in the Women of A New Tribe photo shoot this weekend. Jerry Taliaferro is the main man behind the scenes. The exhibit is about featuring the beauty of women of color. Beauty that is clear to the eye and beauty that must be searched for on a deeper level.
I went to the shoot nervous and anxious. Jerry made me feel as if I had known him for years. He made conversation and it made me so comfortable to where I wasn't nervous at all. It was a pleasant experience; to be able to see what I can do and to witness a man doing what he loves for a living and doing it well. He met me where I was and made things work for me.
The theme of the exhibition is focused on how you want to be remembered. A successful photo is said the be one where someone who knows you looks at it, having no words or caption, and says, "Yes, this is definitely a representation of (Morgan)."
(Above is one of the hundreds of photos from the exhibit).
The exhibit premiers in January in the SU Art Gallery. I will have graduated at that point, but I hope my circumstance allows me to come back and see what photo was chosen that best represents me.
Cheers to another productive week!
