I am honored to have had the opportunity to spend an afternoon just watching and listening. Iâ€™m blessed to have had the chance to freeze this moment in time. We never know how long we have on this earth. Make everyday count. Live it to is very fullest. Itâ€™s free to be nice! . . . . .

Shout to my longtime friend (and megaton bomb azz professional photographer himself) ML Sanders aka @MLSandersFotos for hipping me to the news on this; albeit sad news. Rest In Power, Grand Elder. Regards and condolences to the entire Wu-Tang Clan and affiliates family.
