Street Light [Part I]

jPHONE

New York City is definitely a city of lights and action. Regardless of how late or early in the morning it is, you will always find lights.

With my jPhone in hand here is a little of the street life on Street Lights in the NYC.

"The Way"

As I was doing location scouting for a photo shoot in Trinidad, I saw this frame of an abandonded chapel which I found very interesting. I took this photo from the inside looking out. I call it "The Way".

Although narrow, it leads toward illumination. I see the tree (of life) ahead. I ackowledge the door broken off to the side as if access was granted to me by an incredible force. I see the top of the doorway is divided from the top down.

When I look at this I can't help but think about God and what He has done in my life. He makes a way because Jesus is "The Way".

Steel Pan

The steel pan is the only acoustic (non-electric) instrument invented in the twentieth century. It was invented on the island of Trinidad

It is the national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago, and is still strongly associated with Calypso and other Caribbean music styles.

"The First Crack Epidemic" - Tales From The Hood (JDP)

Welcome to another Tales From The Hood.

Feast your eyes on "The First Crack Epidemic". Unsuspecting children were mesmerized by this machine of madness. The quarter dispenser was the exact height for a child's eyes. Below this colorful heaven was a spiral staircase where anticipation and excitement were stoked like a fireplace until the crack reached the dispenser.

Even today, adults have issues walking by this machine without going through withdrawal symptoms. Shakes suddenly occur without warning.

This is made worst for parents whose children have become addicted. After they have paid the cashier for their items, parents must walk down that long Temptaion Aisle before they reach salvation outdoors. Children wave their hands asking for 25 cents. The first word children learn after "mommy" and "daddy" is "quarter".

As this is happening, the whole supermarket moves in slow motion. Asthma pumps are utilized. Getaway cars are previously reved up.

Please be careful if you ever come across this tool of terror.

Thank you once again for attending another Tales From The Hood.
