Hello December 2013!!!! Wow we have entered the last month of 2013 and will be going into a new year as of next month. Being that this entire blog theme is about FASHION, ART & PHOTOGRAPHY, I thought it would be best to share a project that I have been working on for the past four years called "Sundays Best."

                Sundays Best has everything that deals with Fashion, Art and Photography.

                                                  Check this out!!!

Sundays Best
April 2013

I photograph portraits of my family, friends and community before and after going to church. They are portrayed at the church, in parks, outside at local areas, and homes. "Sundays Best" refers to the purity and cleanliness in the house of the lord. In my faith, when entering a place of worship, we present to God our finest inside and out.

The subject's personal sense of style and fashion is shown. Ladies usually wear dresses, skirts with a nice blazer, hats and high heels. The men wear suits, collar shirts, bowties, or ties. Children wear slacks, hats, dresses, sneakers or dress shoes.

When photographing I strive to make beautiful pictures, and want to capture the emotion of the person being photographed. Everyone has a testimony of their own to share, through body language and emotion. I use a 4x5 View Camera and 6x7 Pentax with color film, to portray as much detail as possible. A book of digital images accompanied the exhibition. Sundays Best is, what motivates my family and friends to get dressed for church, and the many ways that church inspires them to want to return every Sunday morning.
