Bourbon Chronicles

Thoughts on a black constitution. We need a set of rules for our entire black American population. that govern our culture and lives. We are stuck in a land that never considered us when it was created, and acts like we are a burden. Nearly everything of worth was created by a black man. Feel free to agree, discuss, and disagree with my feelings and thoughts. Keep your revolutionary violence out of this conversation, This conversation is about pushing the culture and black existence to the next level.

Some thoughts about what's been affecting me in politics, finances, and cameras. Seems this past few weeks I have been on a path of realizations. I am learning and elevating skills and mindsets. This is what grow feels like? I like it!

These four skills are the lifelines for a photographer. You can have great marketing and sales skills, but without these four skills you will not succeed. Photography is like life you get better the more you experience. Don't be afraid to fail or come up short of your vision.

I have moved back to full frame and fell back in love with photography. I need a B camera for my wife to use during events. My mind and spirit says spend the cash on another full frame. Todays art is often consumed on phones and tablets, so a full frame isn't really needed for web sized photos. It is just glorious to shoot and edit. I think it's time to enter into the world of fine art photography and large prints. Just a few rants about my life and the current dilemma I am facing.

We have come to the end of another season. I don't even know if these are needed. Y'all tuning in right? Thanks for listening and commenting. It has been a tumultuous few weeks. We have made it through a lot. Keep fighting and striving, one day we will find normalcy.

The Chauvin case is finally closed. There was a guilty verdict. I am sure there will be an appeal. How are y'all feeling? Justice was served and maybe this case is capable of setting precedence in other police wrongful death cases. This case doesn't speak to the excessive force nor bigotry that is part of police culture, but it is a welcomed outcome.

Although we all have faith that things will get better, faith without works is dead. It seems another senseless killing of a black man has happened. We seem to be targets that no one cares about. At this point most black men have ptsd and don't trust the police. We automatically have a flight or fight thought process. I give some keys to stopping this epidemic.

Are y'all as frazzled as I am. Not losing it but like datum we have to adapt to something else. Adapt or die is literally how I feel everyday since the pandemic started. I think we should take a little time and smell the beautiful scent of accomplishment. Cherish the present moment in time. We are still here fighting, learning, and succeeding. Hope you are making positive changes to set you up positively.

It is getting close to the time the world gets off restrictions. I for one am ready to plan a cheap trip. I have no clue as to where I am going. I also still have a pandemic body, so you are going to see all this flesh. Where are y'all going? Are you ready? Let's get out of our bubbles and see something NEW!

I have been struggling with getting or not getting the vaccination. I am a person that ends up dealing with most of the side effects of the medicine. I try to not even take an aspirin for a headache. I want to resume some sort of normalcy in my daily life. I want to reopen my photography business and travel. Figured if I was having some apprehension about the virus it would be a good topic to talk about.
