Rock the Spoken Word: Mr. July 2010

My friend, writing companion, and fellow Harakite/rampant mind Casarae Gibson highlighted me and my work in her monthly Blog feature “Rock the Spoken Word” for July.

Check me out:

And I encourage you to click around the rest of the site and check her out too, support her work. Like I said she’s a good writer in several capacities, including Spoken Word. In fact, her Blog has drawn some special attention from the Writer of “Love and Basketball.” She’s also trying to do it big with the Pepsi refresh project. A lady well worth paying attention to, so do so.

Stay up, One.

A Picture’s worth a Spoken Word…

and given the lack of that around here due to thus far rabid failure of Sound Off Sunday (which I’m working to correct THIS Sunday in at least some small capacity), I figure a good substitute is the least I could do.

Nah, truthfully, it had always been my intention at some point to start sharing a (self shot) photo or two here on the blog daily or at least weekly…show off my photographic side, I’m actually alright with the camera. I had actually kinda started doing it on facebook already with these two:

Today seemed like the prefect day to start on the blog though. It rained here…finally; not that I was looking forward to rain, but more as in the tropical heat wave that I’d been accustomed to my whole life was feeling great and I was enjoying it but knew it had to take a break at some point. Observation: I don’t seem to find the rain here quite as depressing as in Indiana. Likely because its MUCH less of an everyday occurrence here. Anyway, as the rain fell and the tv warned me of a flash flood, I was thinking “PHOTO SHOOT!” Water is one of my favorite subjects to shoot and I know whenever its moving or ending up in places people normally don’t plan that there’s a good photo or two to be had nearby and today was no exception. So without further adieu, a few shots for your enjoyment:
