sharesef: Silent March Against Stop and Frisk on Flickr.On this Father’s day, more than 298 organizations and citizens (including the NYCLU) took part in the Silent March Against NYPD’s Stop and Frisk Policy. I was there and was amazed by the amount of people who showed up. It felt great knowing that so many people understood how the NYPD’s practices need to be thoroughly assessed and reformed.  You can tell based on the photographs that I took - this practice has impacted everyone. Some people who I spoke with estimate that the march contained tens of thousands of people, if not hundreds, to represent the more than 600,000 people affected by the practice. Participants traveled from Harlem, beginning at 110th street on Central Park North to the high 70’s on Fifth Avenue - close to Gracie Mansion. It was interesting seeing the onlookers especially when we walked along the museum mile. Marchers were mostly silent. Some were not aware of the current news surrounding Stop and Frisk’s startling statistics. I was tweeting and photographing a lot. I think I took around 300 photos? However, I whittled the amount down to 96. There’s more to come. I shot 3 rolls on my 7e. I just need to go and get them developed. Take a look and see more here. Check out NYCLU’s Facebook page for more information and photos. © Sharese Ann Frederick

Radiant Child by Poster Boy NYC on Flickr. Via Flickr: R.I.P. Jean-Michel Basquiat The prince would smash his head against the bars hoping that someone would hear the sound and find him. The crown made the most beautiful sound that anyone ever heard. You could hear the ringing for miles. It was so beautiful, that people wanted to grab the air. They never found the prince. He never got out of the room. But the sound he made filled everything up with beauty.

sharesef: Rough Idea for an Infographic Assignment on Flickr. For Illustration class, we are supposed to create an infographics piece outlining statistical information. I chose to stick with some of the tree facts section on MillionTreesNYC’s site. Though, I have a feeling that the numbers are different since some were pulled from a 2007 report linked here www.milliontreesnyc.org/html/urban_forest/urban_forest_fa… (at the bottom). An update will be coming sometime in the future. © Sharese Ann Frederick
sharesef: February2012003 on Flickr. Aside from doing some freelance design work for ZestNow.com, I decided to dust off my Canon 7e and shoot some film. I take the camera with me as I would with my other digital cameras - looking for that photographic moment. It’s interesting shooting without “chimping” afterwards. As odd as it sounds, shooting film makes me think a lot more about how I am composing a shot. Now I just need to find a better place to develop my rolls. Got any suggestions?
