“It didn't work out with me an your mom
But yo push come to shove
You was conceived in love”
- Will Smith (Just the Two of Us)
If you had told me my night would go like this, being out bowled by not one, but two six year olds, I would have never believed you. But here I was, Bomani Armah, in the middle of a suburban MD bowling alley.
Close-ups are used in many ways, for many reasons. In filmmaking, television production, still photography and the comic strip medium a close-up tightly frames a person or an object. Close-ups are one of the standard shots used regularly with medium shots and long shots (cinematic techniques). Close-ups display the most detail, but they do not include the broader scene. Moving in to a close-up or away from a close-up is a common type of zooming.
Wrong. As in, there's something wrong here. The smoke over the beautiful San Francisco skyline definitely stands out as wrong on this otherwise beautiful afternoon. Minutes later we discovered it was due to the Chevron refinery explosion (earlier this week). Maybe the "wrong" in your picture is obvious, or maybe it's quite subtle and takes a deeper look to notice - help your readers to understand what's "wrong" in your picture.
Happy National S'mores Day!!
I absolutely love black and white photography! Probably for the same reason most people do...it seems to evoke a different feeling and cast a magical..almost surreal awareness of the subject matter.

After finishing Imagine last week, I decided to follow the line of thought up with this slim volume about the seventeenth-century Japanese poet Basho, considered to be one of the original developers of haiku. For the last five years, I've been keeping my own haiku journal (one entry per day), and although I don't practice it in its most rigid form, I do consider these tiny poems to be one of my favorite forms of expression, so I was curious to read about Basho's work in the field.
Welcome back to the week folks. How did you spend your weekend? Mine was dotted with rehearsals for Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, cheese sampling with friends, and finally trying out one of LA's lil hip chowdown spots, A-frame.
I was recently chatting with a dear friend about their nervousness regarding how they planned to navigate a pretty big life-shift (that includes a possible move and changing careers).
apologies for the lag in posting. we've been moving...now that we are settled: here we are!
moving made me realize how much "stuff" we have, even though we "purge" throughout the year, and attempt to maintain a clutter free space (physically, mentally, spiritually, and materially). in an even greater effort to declutter and simplify our lives, during our unpacking, we are going to separate items into 3 piles: keep, give, sell.
One of the wonderful experiences of this exquisite journey is the journey of my natural hair growth. In March 2009, I did a BIG CHOP. It’s great to see how much my hair has grown since then! It’s completely chemical free and color free. I absolutely love it!
