Portrait of Fahamu Pecou
Today I’m celebrating my friend Dr Fahamu Pecou. We’ve been friends for long enough that neither of us can remember how we met. I’ve taken his picture on a variety of occasions and some for him to paint from. When I did a solo pop up show called Southern Danq, Fahamu curated it for me.
He was awarded the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres at the French consultant earlier in the month here in Atlanta. That makes him a knight and the first knight I’ve ever photographed. I went over with my equipment to his studio to take his portrait and do him justice with his new medal. It’s these moments that should be celebrated and documented.
