Images from the book signing event Hiding in Hip-Hop fundraiser for the Ali Forney Center whose mission is to help homeless LGBT youth be safe and become independent as they move from adolescence to adulthood. To learn more about the Ali Forney Center, visit www.aliforneycenter.org.

Just to be a lil' different and still somewhat creative, I photographed this event in black and white. Enjoy!

 

   
The event, held on May 21 st, was sponsored by Nubian Dreams,  N Harlem Boutique and the author Terrence Dean.

Oppulence ?
The fact that this boutique had a chandelier in it, says it all.




A photo I just couldn't resist taking.










Terence Dean reading his book.




Smiles all around. There were lots of good vibes at this event.





The legendary party promoter James Saunders was one of the producers of this event.

The shoot would not have been complete without a self-portrait of myself! Where there's a mirror, there's a way! :-)
