Opening Night: ‘Do You Want More’ Photo Exhibit

On Saturday,  March 7th, I was gearing up for the opening of Do You Want More?! (yes, I named my show after one of my favorite albums by The Roots ), my photo exhibition at the Art of Noize Gallery in Washington DC. —I also was booked to photograph Ms. Lauryn Hill that night as well,  don’t worry…I made it to both!  

I also received a blow to my heart that day. I found out that the legendary house music DJ Sam “The Man” Burns,  a person very dear to me passed away that day. I was asked if I was going to cancel the opening of the show. My answer was, “No, he wouldn’t want me to.  He would say that the show must go on.” The exhibit was dedicated to him. 

As the doors opened, it was great seeing friends, family and new faces. I appreciate everyone who came out to see the show.  Unfortunately, that was the first and last time anyone was able to see the exhibition due to Coronavirus (Covid-19). I hope when outside opens up again,  that the exhibition will re-open. 

As luck would have it, Kevin Hinton of Kreative71  was in attendance with his camera and captured moments during the exhibition opening—thanks Kev! Thank you Adrian—for opening your gallery to me. Thank you everyone for the support!…so I guess the question still remains..
