Celebrate the life and artistic legacy of Roy DeCarava…
C.S.’s father was an accomplished artist who was supremely and fiercely principled. Because of this he would eschew much of the acclaim that other less courageous artists would accept for themselves. DeCarava demanded that he be viewed as an artist, without qualification as an African American artist, or street artist, or a documentarian.
He took his camera everywhere he went. He lived and raised his family in Bed Stuy, but was born and raised uptown in Harlem. The art world tried to marginalize him because so many of his early subjects were the residents of the neighborhoods where he lived and worked. He knew that this made his subjects and his art no less great, even as the T.I.’s tried to say otherwise.
I’m proud to say that I was a fan of Roy DeCarava’s photographs decades before I had met him. In real life he was as compelling as the images he crafted. Speaking truth to power and expressing the beauty of it all, DeCarava is in a large part the inspiration for why I do what I do.
In memory of

MUGSHOT HAIRSTYLE MODELS: QUICK CHANGE
Tuesday, April 27th, 2010
Actor Randy Quaid and his wife were arrested and jailed last week because dude skipped out on a ten stack ($10,000) tab at a resort.
I love the zany Randy Quaid that I see in the movies and it’s refreshing to see that dude stays in character even in his real life.
This debacle has reminded me to NetFlix the 1990 comedy ‘Quick Change’ where Quaid stars alongside Geena Davis and Bill Murray as their accomplice in a bank robbery and a nearly botched attempt at escaping from New York City. ‘Quick Change’ is vintage Bill Murray comedy. Every time I watch that joint I nearly kill myself from laughing. Quaid almost steals the movie too as the neurotic partner-in-crime Loomis.
