This Is Jessica
Posted by Amon | Filed under Photography
This weekend I found myself back in Orlando kicking with old friends. One of my main objectives for the visit was to practice my photography for a shoot that I coincidentally had earlier today. As luck would have it, I had a chance to catch up with Cara, Ryan, and of course Jessica for impromptu shoots. Thanks guys! Here is Jessica’s:
Hey Molly
Posted by Amon | Filed under Photography
My neighbor has a dog name Molly. Every now again when Molly sees me she will barks like I owe her money. I don’t. Yesterday she was stuck outside. So I decided to take some pictures of her.
Fix Ya Face (The Montage)

Fix Ya Face is a collection of photography that I’ve been working on for about a year or so. It’s a small tribute to the art of being somewhat bothered.
Right There

Right There
I’ve learned to savor the good times in day to day tragedy
And each step is a start to a never ending story
Each day is a page, chaptered by age
Time is mission
Each tick is a decision
Every tock is sign that yes, I’m still living
On a watch where experience is a notch
In a cipher on the block
And my heart is the beat
And it don’t stop and it don’t quit
And like The Roots use to say “We Are The Ultimate”
So I’ma get my 40 Acres and a Mule
And if I was a graffiti artist
It’ll be my 40 trains and a Muse
Either way
This written writer is riding
Life’s roller coaster screaming to go higher
And you and I know, every goal has a fuse
And action is the fire
And it was that active intellect
That got me out the projects
Of South Jamaica Queens with not one regret
So, I’ll be back to collect my Moms from Linden & Merrick
Even though
I’d rather Do It
Than Say It
Rather
Conceive It,
Plan It,
Execute It
And then Convey It
But sometimes life is a shot in the dark
So I’ma shoot a flare
And when opportunity shows it face
I’ll Be Standing Right There

My First Trip To Panamá
Posted by Amon | Filed under On The Road, Photography
A few weeks ago I took a vacation to the incredible country of Panamá. With a group of about 60 people, I got a chance to really see what Panamá was all about. I ate good, laughed hard, explored, took over 1,500 photographs, and met some good people I’ll probably know for the rest of my life.
With a fraction of the images I created one of the longest photo montages…ever:

The Sneetches

The Sneetches has always been one of my favorite books by Dr. Seuss. I didn’t know they animated it!

Truth be told, I wanted to be Sylvester McMonkey McBean when I grew up. Get your money man.

I’ve been a fan of Marc Ecko since about ‘94. This a was a cool story.
Thinking

A few weeks ago I heard a song called Can’t Be Beat by Quiet Village and it got me to thinking.
The Amazing Lyrebird of Australia

I’d pay 3 stacks plus an additional dollar for a bird like this.
