Family Reunion 2009

When Tyler Perry produced the film, Family Reunion, I had just lost my mother. At the time I didn't think it was a wise idea to go see the film. Being that I was in such a new place emotionally. However, being a student and a fan of the film industry I managed to gather the courage to make my way to the theatre. I'm glad I did. The film helped restore my family focus. The subtractions and additions help mold who we are. Family Reunion, reminded me that with and in every great loss there is a greater lesson. My mother always taught my sister and I to clear a path for those closest to us. So I figured why not focus on my family, the next generation. My senior year of college I produced a project entitled, The Innocence of Life, it was intense. It highlighted the frailty of life and how you should respect each moment. In 2009 I vowed to myself and my craft to live in more of those innocent moments. So if you catch me on an off day I may literally act like a kid. It took a film to remind me of the simple things in life. If I had to have a family reunion every year based on the the simple lessons in these photos, I vote that we have one every year.

Zelma used to tell me when I was little, "Son when you're down on your luck the blessing, prayers, and promise of a real family will resurrect a dead man". I understand now. I hope you enjoy viewing our memorable moments as much as we did living in them.

I hope the photos tell you the story of how two people made a decision to stay together, and make something great happen by investing in their children. Over 60 years later we're all products of that great choice. Thank you Pop & Mom Holly! We couldn't have done it without you.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my blog to get additional info.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Nowadays, I feel good, I begin to get real money.
It gets down to choose a correct companion who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the income with me.

You can ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:

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...

A Day At Gus's

A Day At Gus's It's not everyday that we get to experience great food let alone a great atmosphere to eat in. I'm a southern guy so you know I like good food and even better service.  Gus's is that spot for me. I frequently sit down with the owner Gus and he doesn't hold back on his views of the world or on how to run a successful small business.  Following our last conversation I decided to return the favor by grabbing a few still photos of the original Gus's location.  It will be torn down soon.  Gus is being rewarded with a new location in 2008 for a job well done for 27 years of great service.  www.gusspizza.com 

The Money Shot

The "Money Shot". It's not the type of shot where you look to get paid. It's the one that tells the largest story with the least amount of words. Today as I drove through Pen Lucy park, I saw this homeless lady at the stop light. I've driven through here daily for years and today was the first time I'd ever seen this lady. She was as worn as the soles of her shoes. She appeared to have the conscious mind of a 6 year old child. I only had about 20 seconds to capture the moment. It tends to be that way driving through the district where most of the show " The Wire " was filmed. Needless to say I was able to salvage what I referred to above as, " The Money Shot". After countless hours of studying the late great visual artist, Gordon Parks life stills, I've come to the conclusion that life stills are and should be timeless. They hold the frailties of life tight enough to crush them and soft enough to doctor them back to maximum h...
