i continue to compete within a white supremest framework.
i haven't had a lot of success but many of the black photographers who i started out with have given up.
i will leave a body of work when i die.
I believe changing your venue might help out with that brother James. Perhaps the Philly crowd isn't into art? However I see many street vendors on 125th street (Harlem) selling art. I've know black art stores in Baltimore. I don't fault you for going to white galleries to sell (you have to eat), but I think more black people would be interested in your work than you think. I've seen your work, and I think it is quite good!
