Lady luck has really been on my side recently in terms of my photography hustle. From the new clients that I picked up recently to media gigs that I will be covering over the next several weeks & the stock image sale to Reader’s Digest just the other day.
Just when I was wondering what was next, I got an email from Getty Images Flickr Collection inviting me to submit 5 more images.
“As you know, our editors have been hard at work for months searching through the Flickrverse and selecting thousands of images for the Flickr collection on Getty Images. They’re still at it, but here’s your chance to lend a hand and help us add even more great photos!
Nobody knows your images better than you, so we’d like you to select five of your favorite images from your photostream and send them along to us, and we’ll take your advice and add them to the Flickr collection.”
This message really put a cherry on top of my day. Now the hard part will be selecting the 5 images to add to the collection. I have an Idea but we’ll see how it all pans out.
I must say that becoming a member of the Flickr community has been one of the best decisions I made since I started to develop this hobby into a passion.
On a real note, I cannot wait till Ebony & Jet contact me to photography!
Stay tuned!!!!!!

Mocha Siren – Thx boo, I surely appreciate the support! I know Im trying to make this shit happen!
Toni – You just made me choke on this stale ginger snap. Damn you. LOL!!!
Your boo is waiting for you. When you least expect it, Mr Right is going to walk into the store & the rest will be history.
Since I am somewhat of a profit, I see that your boo will have good hair, love books and has never sewn a button.
He will be a vegetarian who loves piña colada & Tyler Perry movies. He will have an earth sign & that will be perfect to keep you grounded.
Keep your eyes open boo.

That’s good stuff man. Seriously, stick with it as you have. I’ve thought about picking up photography as a hobby. No joke I have been thinking about it for a while. I don’t know, but I think my motivation has been heavily influenced by porn.
LOL
Yo look at my man D-Nice and see what he’s doing these days?
Good shit!
