BIG-ROD's albums

I'm a CADD [Computer-Aided Drafting and Design] professional. Basically what I do is draft/design engineering drawings as a consultant for different engineering firms.

If I had a time machine and had only one place to choose it would be the HARLEM RENAISSANCE era of the 1920s and up to meet the Black artists (musicians, painters, writers, etc.) of the day, the underground Black Same Gender Loving (SGL) scene, and just the ordinary bruthaz and sistahs of the day.

Creatively, I love to capture still moments in life as a photographer, doing graphic design work, and I'm a producer at Brooklyn Cable Access Television [BCAT] working on a select number of progressive television shows.

Countries I want to visit in the future include the continent of AFRICA (Ghana, Kenya/Tanzania, Egypt and South Africa), BARBADOS, BRAZIL, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, CUBA, INDIA and ENGLAND.

No doubt that I'd be taking mad pictures at those places because of my LOVE for photography and of African people and other people of color and culture!

I just ordered a Tokina 12-24mm f/4 wide angle zoom lens because I got inspired by some pictures I saw in the winter 2007 issue of Nikon World that a good friend (thanks Neal) gave me. It's my first (and last time, LOL!) time buying a lens that is not a Nikon so we'll see how it goes. My future and last lens purchase (by Christmas) that I need is the Nikon 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED Autofocus VR Zoom Lens.
