God Belongs in The Bronx

This weekend I participated in a Prayer Walk as part of the event "God Belongs In The Bronx". It was my first Prayer Walk.

The group I was with walked from the West Farms Square area to Crotona Park (about 30 blocks) praying for the people of the Bronx.





We also prayed for the safety and development of the children.





We prayed for the growth of businesses and employment.





We prayed for God's power to be made manifest in the Bronx to combat poverty and homelessness.





We prayed God's anointing would deliver people from drug, alcohol, and gambling addictions.





In the afternoon there was a rally to celebrate the great things God is and will be doing in the Bronx.

HeeSun Lee, Gauge, J-Skywalker, and various artists blessed the mic.





There were even some guest speakers (including yours truly).

All in all, it was a beautiful and amazing day of ministry.

Urban Fine Art Fave - "HeeSun Lee"

EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY

During this summer I had the opportunity to photograph more events than I have ever done before. Last summer I was just at the beginning of my professional photography venture so it has been quite enjoyable both photographing and editing photos thus far.

A couple of weeks ago I photographed Rap Fest 2010. Of all the RapFest photos I have had the pleasure to make into urban fine art pieces so far, this photo below of HeeSun Lee is my favorite. I see Strength, Grace, Focus, and Tenderness.

EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY

RapFest 2010 in the Bronx on August 14th was amazing. I could sit it and write all about it but I would rather show you.

Check out some of the pics.

EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY

In 2001 and 2002 I had the privilege to videotape the RapFest concert. This year I decided to tell the story via photos.

So stay tuned as I post now and in the near future what I am calling "RapFest Treats". Check below and see some portraits from this Gospel Hip Hop Concert in the Boogie-Down Bronx called RapFest.
