23 Camille Moseley-Pasley
Similar to our
August - October 2005
issue, this edition features
four creative persons.
Like champion race
drivers sharing their
driving skills with an
average commuter, these
gifted photographers
share their secrets
in capturing
perfect moments.
We feature New York-based
Mireille Liong-A-Kong, and
Washington-based Bruce McNeil,
Jason Miccolo Johnson, and Camille
Mosley-Pasley. Johnson and
Mosely-Pasley have shot images
that have graced our covers.
Unlike singers and dancers,
photographers are too
often overlooked as contributors
to African culture and identities.
Port of Harlem is very proud to
continue our tradition of
highlighting aspects of our
lives that many, including
ourselves, so often fail to
embrace or even appreciate.
We hope to see you at
the next photography exhibit!
