Coverage of SIS 2007
The image here shows SIS 2007 artists, Francesca “Zeal” Harris and Synthia Saint James—who is, by the way, the author/illustrator of Happy Happy Kwanzaa (Kids Creative Classics), posing for Leroy Hamilton at 626 Art Gallery. This event celebrating Women’s History Month included the work of our Robin Strayhorn who is featured here in the kinté space.
Leroy Hamilton happens to be the bomb and the shit—for lack of properly assimilated words—when it comes to professional photography. Look him up in the great white photography book under “the bomb” and “the shit”—and his picture will be right there under Gordon Parks. Check out his Internet home, photographybyhamilton.com. This is the man, by the way, who took the headshots of Kevin Cohee of One United Bank fame—and that is just an inkling of his star-studded list of clients, featuring Ossie Davis, Johnny Cochran and Luther Vandross. Mr. Hamilton was kind enough to post the entire contents of the camera flash memory used for covering SIS 2007 to his smugmug.com account. It’s just like I was there!
