Kudos to African World Festival Crew!

I am venturing off the PR path for this post. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this year's African World Festival. From a media coverage perspective, I would have liked to have seen more. Diverse crowds in harmony, exploring cultural exhibits, amazing musical offerings-both local and national, and thriving families packed the lakefront grounds. Images that are real, but all too often missing from mainstream media.

As an image maker by profession, I was struck by how reality is often distorted by media owners. It comes down to choosing what to and what not to cover. Next year, I'd like to roam the grounds with a camera and will post these images throughout the World Wide Web-now that's using the medium! I guess I did ruminate on PR after all.
