Alright.

There's a whole bunch going on around us these days with absolute craziness. 

People are fighting amongst each other regarding politics, policies, ideas....

Favorite color is blue versus green...

Black & white...

Rich & poor..

Religion...

Democrat, Republican..

North, south...east & west...

Lets be honest folk, there's a vast amount of difference with opinion & that's OK 

for we're entitled 2 such.

It's yours 2 hold.

Whatever the case despite it all, everything is "ALRIGHT".

Yep!

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Invaluable.

Out with old, in with the new. 

A whole bunch has transpired over the past few years with plenty 2 be happily remembered. 

It's kinda tough getting over how fast time slips on by without any notice which has given me more of a reason 2 make the most of every single situation. 

Tomorrow is never promised 2 anyone & there's absolutely no room for thoughts of regret. 

Every moment becomes an invaluable learning experience specifically detailed 2 make you much more. 

With that in mind, looking forward 2 what's in store makes everything so much more exciting....

Are you ready? 

I am...now lets go get this!

Peace!...with 2 fingers;) 

You.

We all have the responsibility 

2 show accountability. 

(Ya know?)

It’s never the person who commits the actual crime but rather the fault of someone else.

I suppose it’s easier 2 blame others for your own issue instead of self.

That way, there’s never a need 2 face it. 

Well, @ the end of the day, no matter how often the finger is pointed, it always begin & end with “YOU”.

Yep!….

Peace!…with 2 fingers;)

Public Service Announcement;)

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Mama.

Can never say enough wonderful things about my "Mama" Catherine.

Raising 5 on very little (& I truly mean little), 

she's been able 2 do where many fail...

give love.

Lookin' back over the years, it's an awesome wonder 2 see where we all have come.

All thanks 2 her...

Today she continues 2 stand tall & follow the principles passed down.

(Now that's an example)..

Thanks "Mama"....Love you.

Yep!

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

World.

It's hard 2 believe that it's been nearly 3 years & countin' since Lady Tammy & myself have joined forces. 

The experiences shared along the way have been both fulfilling & challenging as we tackle the "WORLD". 

If you've followed along, you would've noticed the joy along with the sadness....Ugghh!!

Despite it all, here we are continuing 2 still stand with an added hint of wisdom & definite growth. 

Now as each day passes, we prepare for the unexpected while @ the same time evolving into something much more. 

What that is we're unsure but man is it an experience....

Yep!

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

More Than.

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

All.

Since moving 2 the state of Georgia a few months ago, things have slowed down a great deal which has given me the much needed time 2 regroup & gather thoughts. 

Life is so very constant & can be a bit overwhelming leaving
 little time 2 embrace the awesomeness.

In this case, it's the wonderful experiences & memories with the nucleus of family.

It's like reading a book... 

If you're 2 busy tryin' 2 get through it, you tend 2 lose the enjoyment and most important principles. 

That's why it's so important 2 gather thoughts & recollect the beauty of it all.

It's as simple as a trip 2 the local mall for a shoppin' spree for son Khalid's 11th birthday.

Once again, with photography & some cool video, memories become so much more. 

Something that'll never go away.

So why go for just a lil' bit when you can actually have it "ALL"?

Yep!....

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Pain.

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Ordinary.

 

In this world, people are quick 2 
call what they do as new 

but nothing really more but a different name 

on the same shelf.

Truth is not what we decide it 2 be 

but rather what's alive & lives inside.

So tell me....what makes you any different 

from the next?

There's a call 2 life so why even wonder?...

for the GOD inside me just won't let me be...

"ORDINARY".....

Yep!...

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Waiting.

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Unconditionally.

Different.

Lookin' back over the years I've dealt with the insecurities of self. 

Runnin' from the sun & repeatedly boxin' my very own shadows. 

At times I've wondered... "Dayum!...What was I really thinkin'?"

Despite the overly inflated & petty cosmetic issues of teeth, smile, hair, etc,

I've come 2 realize that's who I am 

& there's no other me.

Uniquely & specially made from head 2 toe....Yes!!!

Someday we'll eventually grow old 

& still I'll be beautiful.

With no further need 2 hide my head in a paper bag, 

now you can really see me.

Yep!...
I'm"DIFFERENT."

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Summer.

Today is my younger brother's 38th birthday. 

It's tough 2 believe it's been so long since refusing 2 have him tag along cause it was a headache. 

Now with a family of his own & totally independent, I've nothing more 2 say 

but dayum I'm so proud to have such a great guy as a brother & not just because it's his birthday.

Anyways...

We decided 2 make a run across the city for a birthday visit including bonfire action & barbeque 

(of course)...

...something we're known 2 do nearly every "SUMMER".

Great times.

Yep!....

Peace!....with 2 fingers;)

The Heart.

This is the true signature of a place where creativity took root. Without the gift of an artist, beauty of expression will never have it’s place.

Rogers Park….

Yep!

Peace!…with 2 fingers;)

Drop.

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Beautiful.

Taking an early morning stroll down Peachtree Lake Drive, a stranger walked by, stopped, stared & smiled....

"You guys are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!"....

huh?...

Ponderin' over the idea for a minute, finally we responded...

Yep! ;)

(hmmmm).....

Skin.

No time 2 wrongfully place judgement on others due 2 race, sex or creed. 

Everything's so much more bigger than yesterday so move with it. 

Lovin' & appreciation of self is the 

call for the day. 

Think of it this way.....if you fail 2 love who you are inside & out,

what makes you think anyone else ever would?....

Lookin' @ the much bigger picture you realize

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Wishin'.

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Hammered & Nailed.

When there’s me, there’s usually a camera in hand. 

That’s just the way it’s been for years & if you have yet 2 notice, everything is captured in one way or another.

Anywho….I recently came across an online photo contest for creative artistry, submitted the themed pic “Hammer & Nails”….& nearly won the dayum thing!

The interesting part about all this is, I’ve never even prepared & literally allowed the “force” 2 lead the way on this project.

Similar 2 that whole Luke Skywalker & Yoda thing. lmao!

Hmmm…lets see what happens next time.

I’ll keep you posted….

Yep!…

Peace!….with 2 fingers;)

Reel.

Can't believe it's been nearly 4 years & countin' since starting this whole Weddington Adventures videography / photography venture.
There's been a plenty of memories both good & bad but yet still gracefully captured throughout my collection of videos / photos. 

Throughout this process, I've been able 2 contribute my abilities with those in need of creative services....Whether a graduation, prom, wedding, reception, small business, special events or anything that requires something a bit different... (Check out my "REEL" below.)

Lookin' back, there's difficulty comprehending how I even ended up @ this point. 

Not that I'm completely & successfully accomplished as an artist or anything but still, I truly am one. 

(An artist) & by every definition of the word. 

"Peace!....with 2 fingers"?....

Yeah, who would've ever thought. 

It still brings about a chuckle from time 2 time on just how something so randomly simple could end up being so catchy & rememberable. 

With social networking & some creative juice, you could reach millions around the world....

Australia?, Turkey?, London?, Africa?....

(yeah right!)

Whatever the case, it sticks & it works....
Yep!
Now....will someone please hire me?
(lol)

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Perish or Stand.

Peace!....with 2 fingers;)

Porchin'

Only imagined this in an off the wall, unforseeable dream where there's rockin' chairs a rockin', plants a churnin' & teeth a showin'. 

(totally came off the top of the dome with that one...lol)

We are a "Porchin!!!'"....Yep!

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Locked & Loaded.

This is my weapon of choice.
A highly powered, crisped & fully adjustable DSLR….

(with a whole lotta creativity.)

What else do you need?

Peace!…with 2 fingers;)
