In the beginning...
This is my first post in what may end up being my first personal journal. First and foremost, I must thank you for visiting!
As you may have read from the Bio sections of my photography websites, I’ve only been a photographer for a few years now – about 9 years to be precise. I’m originally from Nigeria. I moved to the U.S about 15 years ago to go to School at Southwest Baptist University. I’m married to a very beautiful wife and we have two beautiful children – Courtney and Myles! I will tell you more about my background later on in other posts.
In all of my years of being a photographer, I have always yearned for an opportunity to do something special with my talents. Shooting weddings is special, but I always still had this yearning that I could never explain – it’s always a feeling that keeps me digging deeper for answers.
Not long ago, I decided that I would like to go back to Nigeria and spend sometime doing pictorial documentation of issues facing my people like AIDS, Malaria, Poverty, the list is endless. With as much desire as I had for this project, I’ve not been able to get myself to go - I need to have a few thins lined up before I can embark on these trips. The thought of doing this brought me somewhat closer to filling the void that I had felt for a long time, but what has completely filled the void is being able to put my talents to work at my Church Lenexa Christian Center.

There is so much to talk about. This is officially the beginning of something special!
I pray and hope that you would come back from time to time to see what the Lord is doing in my life!
