Peng Pixels

One of the best advice I got as a creative is

TAKE CARE OF HUNGER FIRST.

It will protect you from see finish pricing

It will help you be more intentional about putting out excellent content

It will be your ticket to building value and finding your people.

Its hunger that’s making folk take jobs for chicken change and the ripple effect is producing below average content or products.

Take care of hunger and watch your creative business bloom.

With all my love,
Ace.

"Aesthete"
Amidst the whispers of solitude, beauty reveals its most intimate secrets.

If you're anything like me, you know the voice of silence and the wind. The sexual tension between the setting sun and the surface of water as the wind gently caresses the ripples. It can be overwhelming, the beauty and chaos that follows. It is my go to place. the sun setting to the wings of white birds flying into it.
I sit there sometimes and wish time stops for me to live here long enough to last forever.

I am an
aesthete.

This is King Abberh. You have seen him before. He's elegant and most importantly an impressionable model. Easily the best model in these parts and we will definitely work with him again.

Pengpixels. We took a break but now we are back. The Journey of self discovery is a never ending one.
I'd walk you through what photography means to me. I had to learn that (the hard way lol) talent and passion can be married but what makes it work, is showing up.
Showing up all the time is very hard but once you set your mind to it, there's no stopping you.

These were taken with a phone, and for the longest time I kept hoarding photographs because they were not taken with the "right" gear. It was quite daunting to see people post crisp photographs and wonder "why not me?"
took me a long time to be at peace with the fact that a picture is a picture and the medium used to capture that moment matters less than the moment itself. Photography is so much more than using the finest gear to take crisp and clean photos. For me it was expression. It still is. I derived myself the chance to express myself because I thought. Yep. The goal is to Do now, then think, overanalyze or whatever LATER. Still, not letting my thoughts, the matrix, the algorithm and applauses get in the way is a very hard thing to do. And honesy? We don't talk about the pressure all of this brings.

By the Grace of God I'm back. To see things differently. To express myself as best as I can. And that's all that matters.

Tones.
sometimes are magic.
red. fiery like the hell that lives inside me.
blue. the sea that escapes when I grieve.
green. because everything after the tears is growth.
i hear the world say "go"
but i don't like your tone.
tone it down.

butterflies don't hover where flowers die
if flowers bloom by sunsets
if bees sing and the sky buzzes
when fountains fly and oceans defy gravity
if smartphones were stupid belligerent men
or "worse" is a word to mean something nice...
like a scent carried by roses.
if all words were united by anything but the idea of syllables and semantics
then maybe what I feel in my heart will make sense

...but words fail me like a butterfly's heartbeat when she fails to flutter in my belly,
where flowers died
words fail me like my doubt did on nights
when you weren't there.
and they aren't that many except for that one time.
so is it an irony or paradox?
is it a figure of speech if you figure it out.
the words that fail me, I mean.

there is beauty in the african skin.
every pore of melanin
a testimony of kings

there is beauty in an african scene
every pond within
a habitat of crocodiles that never cry.

and what better to shape the frame
than a monochromagical
photograph that speaks a thousand and one words.
