The Big Three


This week has been bananas! My daughters were sick and my son decided that he wanted to make an early arrival, lol.  Where am I going with this one? Stay with me and I'll show you. It's my career and my passion to document the events of the world and those of my clients but it's a pure joy to capture the most important moments of my children's lives.  It's also important to teach them how to capture and appreciate one another's milestones.  

On Wednesday October 8, 2008 my son was born and my 5 year old and 3 year old had cameras in their hands.  I want them to always be there to share the important moments in life with each other.  

It's more evident now than ever in these crazy economic times how important it is to raise your children to be strong leaders, loving, kind and resourceful.  As I get older I'm understanding that a stable family helps build a stable economy.  Some how, somewhere people have forgotten that the origin of success in America was built on the backs of the family unit.  I posted a blog in June 2008 about a produce farm in my community, Hubers Farm.  Huber's has thrived for over 60 years. The farm has been nurtured by one family. They've learned how to survive together. They've seen droughts, workers come and go among other things. 

America has seen Slaves, Jews, Italians, Hispanics and Whites build this country by way of strong family units.  Even in this wild election year every candidate has displayed a strong sense of family loyalty.
  
So with all of that being said, I'd like to introduce to you, my little McQueen's "The Big Three".

The Measure of a Man.........

the details are below the photos it's a must read story for the men.... The title of this blog maybe familiar to some, it's that of the autobiography of actor Sidney Poitier.  When you mention his name the words courage, great, intelligent, daring, brilliant and faithful may come to mind.  I've got a new name that replaces those words, Von Johnson.   My friend. My brother.  My cousin.  My new HERO. How and what does that have to do with the title? Yesterday, I observed what it means to live the final portion of your wedding vows,  "till death do us part"...... I can't even put it into words how I felt yesterday.  The only word that comes close is "helpless".   It was one of the rare moments in life where you want to take someone else's pain and throw it down the river and start fresh. I learned what the measure of a man is all about.   Can you live on life's edge and handle all it dishes out?  Can you stand in the toughest moments of opposit

The Players That You Never Knew

With the opening Friday Night of the 2014 high school football season on the horizon, every barbershop in every small-town in America is probably buzzing with the conversation of who are greatest high school football players of all time.  It's a valid question considering the pool of talent that passes through most small towns.  People often wonder where these guys end up long after their playing days are over.  I've often asked the same question about many of my ex-teammates. Two in particular, Darius Brewnington and Kenny Shaw. If you were an athlete in the early 1990's they were arguably considered two of the most influential athletes in North Carolina's rich high school football history.  Unfortunately, like many other high profile athletes life happens.  However, even with the growing pains of life every man has his day of redemption.  With Darius and Kenny being former teammates of mine I wanted to see for myself who they are 20 years removed from fame. So t

Pete's Road Trip

Two weeks ago my friend Pete decided to take a road trip without me. If you're like me, you're probably thinking some friend right? I guess it goes to show you that like most friendships, we too were total opposites. In our teen years, Pete was always there for my major sports accomplishments. For example, when we went to team camp at High Point University he and I won the 2 on 2 competition for the first time, together. A few years later we won the North Carolina State 3-A Basketball Title, and in my sophomore year of college he was in the stands when I scored my first collegiate touchdown. He and our mutual friend Johnny were going nuts. I celebrated so hard that Lamont Burns had to slap me so that we could kick the extra point. Pete was like a little brother to me. So like any other sibling relationship, I would have never told him that he was my motivation for my many athletic accomplishments. It's a part of the unspoken sibling code, worry your brothers, sis
