"It is not common for photographers to capture the images of Black Women skillfully for print media. Rare is the portrayal of Black masculinity in a pure form not surrounded by pretense, or the repulsive tendency to feminize. This study of a man, a Black man in a pure form of intensity as a beautiful form, an intelligent face allows me to look and see a mother's touch, and a father's introspective insight into his son.
All sons are sent into the world as gifts or parasites. But every son sent into the world knows a period of time of being cherished, and here in this portrait of a Man is the reflection of not only a pensive beauty with and of a man, but the reflection of being cared for into his adulthood as a gift you, the photographer captured thoughtfully, Peter Salama." ~ Gregory E. Woods 5.31.13
