Love is a Partnership

Love partnership

So I'm back from my line brother's wedding, catching up on work, stuff to do at the internship as well as reflecting on the past weekend's events in Gainesville. When our line of 14 brothers crossed in 2006, a little over half of us had significant others- maybe that should have been an indication that one of us would get married this soon. Well that and the over a dozen recent weddings in the chapter already. Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Roe. [more pix to come]

Dr. Sol.

Dr. Sol

A friend has an advice column in the New Ghanaian newspaper I work for. His pseudonym is Dr. Sol (for Solomon) and yes, he thinks he's too cool for tv.

Momma's Boy

To those of us who've survived the first marriage, triumphed through life's challenges with our first love, and are not ashamed to celebrate May 10th every year.

Wedding Blues

The Bride

The bride is beautiful, naturally, and her wedding was the first I'd attended that was held at an Army Base (Ft. Belvoir in VA). The food was delicious and the ceremony pretty quaint for black folk - memorable nevertheless. Usually you notice these things but it took me a few looks to realize that she had no jewelry on except her ring.

Best Dressed

Kids are best dressed at Weddings

Weddings are wonderful, joyous occasions and mark the commencement of a new, hopefully wonderful life together of a married couple. There are usually good food and decent music but more importantly, very well dressed kids.

Out The Box

Out The Box IV

Eddie aka Captain Ekuban, a fashion designer/painter, came by the studio and we used a glassless frame as a prop. The shoot was during a much needed break, after spending most of the day editing for the September edition of The New Ghanaian newspaper. Itake photos est. 1985, we back. [more pix here]

Queen Mother

Queen Mother

I attended an Ashanti Association Dance last weekend and I was pleasantly reminded of how beautiful Kente is. There were so many patterns and styles that I could not help but feel proud to know how intrinsically Ghanaian they were...only for the search for my own Kente cloth to prove fruitless. Sigh.
