With each image, I'm transported back to the early 1990s, a time of growth, learning, and capturing moments that would shape my photographic path. Among the collection, a particular memory shines brightly – my first experience documenting a water survival training exercise.</span></p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Revisiting these snapshots feels like rekindling the flame of my early photographic journey in the USAF.

I embarked on an enriching journey to The National Great Blacks In Wax Museum in Baltimore, MD, to partake in the 3rd Annual History Street Fair. Armed with my camera, I was eager to capture the essence of this vibrant community event, and I was not disappointed. The fair was brimming with cultural richness, as vendors showcased an array of captivating merchandise, from original artwork and clothing to books and delectable cuisine. Amidst the lively atmosphere, visitors were treated to a thought-provoking performance by Wombwork Productions, Inc., masterfully led by Artistic Director Kay Lawal-Muhammad. The experience was nothing short of incredible, and I eagerly look forward to documenting more of Baltimore's captivating events in the future. Stay tuned for more images and stories, and be sure to join me on Instagram and Facebook to share in the magic of these moments.</span></span></p>

ONE NATION<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">(PHILADELPHIA, Pa) Oct. 21, 2015 The City of Philadelphia's decision to close schools and underfund libraries ignited a wave of citizen activism in the area. A non-profit organization, the African People's Education and Defense Fund (APEDF), emerged as a powerful force in advocating for the African community, creating programs for educational, health, and economic development. Their Uhuru Book Fair & Flea Market became a popular annual event held at the Clark Park in Philadelphia that drew people from all walks of life. The fair served as a platform for local vendors to sell their wares and for community members to come together, share ideas, and support one another. Overall, APEDF and its initiatives have worked towards creating a thriving community that values education, culture, and community-based action.</span></div>

Gray Jr. on April 19, 2015, the city of Philadelphia stood in solidarity with Baltimore, showcasing the power of unity and empathy. Organized by the Philly Coalition for Real, the <b><i>#PhillyIsBaltimore </i></b>protest took center stage at Dilworth Park in front of Philadelphia City Hall. The demonstration was a poignant display of peaceful resistance, a profound message that Philadelphia shared in Baltimore's pain and grief. After a long day at work, I felt compelled to be a part of this movement and headed down to the protest. Armed with my camera, I captured moments of raw emotion, hope, and determination, witnessing firsthand the strength of community coming together to demand justice and change. It was a humbling experience, a reminder that in times of adversity, solidarity and compassion can transcend borders and resonate across the world.</span></span><br />

The passion and dedication he has for harness horse training were evident as he meticulously tended to every detail. With my camera in hand, I captured the essence of his expertise and the strong bond he shares with these magnificent animals. Watching him work with Happy Madison was a true privilege, and spending those precious hours together at the stable created memories that I will cherish forever. My dad's commitment to his craft and the love he has for the horses are truly inspiring, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this thrilling journey with him.</span><div>

The song, along with the event "The Lift," was organized as a stand against the pervasive inner-city violence plaguing Philadelphia and its surrounding communities. </span><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Joined by other socially conscious hip hop artists like Charlie "K," Samuel Delaghetto, Fatnice, 2NU, T.Coda, Doc Hero, and DJ Slim Cutta, the event was a moving showcase of musical talent and a call to end the cycle of violence. </span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The support from the Philadelphia community was remarkable, with guest speakers like Mrs. Best and political figures including 2nd District Councilman Kenyattta Johnson, Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams, and Senator Anthony Williams showing their solidarity. "The Lift" made a significant impact, and anticipation for the 2015 event is already building. Let's come together and be a part of this meaningful movement for change and awareness.</span></span></p><p></p></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I wanted to show that "it's the eye behind the camera" that makes the photo. You have to have vision,artistic talent, and know a bit of photography.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I decided to post a few images I took with my iPhone along with a bit of tweeting using different photo apps. </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I think the smart phone camera can help to develop composition and creativity in some </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">and will never replace a DSLR when it come to professional photography.</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large; font-weight: normal;">Went out today and captured images of the insects that frequent the many types of flowers at <a href="http://www.palmyracove.org/" target="_blank">Palmyra Cove Nature Park</a>. </span></div>

The band covers a wide variety of songs from classic rock to todays current hits and can be found at many venues around South Jersey and Delaware and you can click on their name to find more show dates. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Kharmatrain" target="_blank">Kharma Train</a> includes: Lindsay Guarino, lead vocals; Ed Cleary, lead guitar; Vince Cuomo, percussions; John Keli, bass guitar and Fuzzyman, rhythm guitar. When they are in your area, attend, you will have a great time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> I have taken a few photos of the band using my iPhone and the app <a href="http://instagram.com/kennethaston" target="_blank">Instagram</a> but this night I decided to bring out the "big guns" and use my Canon 5D Mark II and used two of my favorite lenses, the <a href="http://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/lenses-flashes/standard-medium-telephoto-lenses/ef-50mm-f-12l-usm?utm_source=google&utm_medium=Product_Search&utm_campaign=Google_Product_Feed&cm_mmc=GA-_-Camera_&_Optic_Lenses-_-G_Canon_Product%20Listing%20Ads-_-14259" target="_blank">Canon 50mm "L" f/1.2</a> and <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=647011&gclid=CjwKEAjwuYOeBRCy3pLljpjDkDcSJAAhA4mt3KR6cNrU_d_QLIfyvGdv4Gmqxod0E0_fgJRdO1KTKBoCUcrw_wcB&Q=&is=USA&A=details" target="_blank">Canon 100mm 2.8 L</a>. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> The venue was <a href="http://www.thejughandleinn.com/" target="_blank">The Jug Handle Inn</a>, in Cinnaminson New Jersey, has awesome wings by the way, is were the group performed. It was bit dark and I didn't want to annoy the guest by using a flash, so I decided to use available light. I used an ISO range of 2500 to 4000 and yes I didn't always use manual settings nor did I use automatic. I was very happy with how the 50mm preformed in such low light. I also photographed the entire show using the RAW file format which was a big help when editing with <a href="https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom.html?promoid=KLXLX" target="_blank">Lightroom</a>. I was using the monochrome setting but when I imported into Lightroom, the images converted back to color, no worries, I just changed them back. I have uploaded a few here and comments are welcomed and hope to see you at the next show and thanks for viewing. </span></span><br />

There are free meals at almost every restaurant in the area, Veterans Day parades, homecoming for those returning from duty, and celebrations honoring those that didn't return. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Camden County Veterans Island, Cooper River Park was the site of a ceremony today in honor of Veterans who served in the United States Military. Veterans Day 2013 ceremony was hosted by the Camden County Board of Freeholders and included guest speaker Command Sargent Major Thomas A. Holland USAR (RET) and Master of Ceremonies, United States Air Force Chaplain, Lieutenant Colonel Floyd L. White, Director Camden County Veterans Affairs. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Awards were presented to Camden County Veterans as well. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I was invited by a high school friend to attend the <a href="http://worldwidephotowalk.com/" target="_blank">Worldwide Photowalk</a> sponsored by <a href="http://kelbytraining.com/" target="_blank">Scott Kelby</a>, <a href="http://www.canon.com/" target="_blank">Canon</a> and <a href="http://www.adobe.com/" target="_blank">Adobe</a> and various other sponsors. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">It was held at the <a href="http://worldwidephotowalk.com/walk/hammonton-nj-united-states-downtown-to-outskirts/" target="_blank">Hammonton Arts Center</a> in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammonton,_New_Jersey" target="_blank">Hammonton, NJ</a>. which is located on Rt 30 aka the White Horse Pike, I would recommend that you stop by and pay this very quaint town that is full of coffee shops, boutiques, taverns and plenty of friendly locals. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I will definitely be visiting this town again and I suggest if you're in the Southern New Jersey area and on your way to Atlantic City, stop by and pay them a visit.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Mark Mercer, has been unemployed since 2011 and after sending out 100's of resumes without any success he decided to think "outside the box". With his dogs in tow and a large "I Need a Job" sign, he set up in the city's financial district, and started his job search. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">While I was there he was approached by a woman who accepted gladly took his resume and hopefully it will lead to permanent employment. I wish him luck and now I have to get back to making my sign! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I am now back in the United States after spending years of traveling around the globe. I have decided to launch Aston Photography with the goal of providing </span></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">affordable quality commercial, portraiture, and event photography</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">. To help with my new venture, I've posted ads on Craigslist, </span></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">started a <a href="https://twitter.com/KennethAston" target="_blank">Twitter</a> account, a business <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kenastonphotography" target="_blank">Facebook</a> page, and this <a href="http://astonphotography.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Blog</a> to help promote Aston Photography</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"> A few days ago, I found some glassware at Goodwill decided to photograph the items using my newly purchased soft-box and studio strobes to show potential clients that have the skill set they seek and I am not a hobbyist. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Today I began shooting a few antique coins for a friend of mine. I had a hard time trying to light them cause there is a particular why it must be done. Most collectors are looking for the luster ring, which shows if the coin has been circulated or not. Also when photographing a Cameo you want the face to show up and the surrounding area to be almost dark. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> It took me awhile to find a light setup and then I came across <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20169658/" target="_blank">Jansjo LED</a> from Ikea, these little beauties have an articling neck, a pretty strong L.E.D. light also. Well I purchased four of them at about $10 each! I used my tripod, Canon 5D Mark II, shutter release cable, and 100mm L series lens to complete the shoot. My friend was very happy with the results and that is what really matters.</span><br />
