    thank you for this powerful tribute….this could’ve easily been my son. I cried when I heard the 911 calls…actually hearing this baby scream for his life….just heavies my soul so. Again, I thank you.

  10. Zilla says:

    POWERFUL! love every unique, individual photo…your skills bring out the emotion perfectly. Love it. Wearing a Hoody as much as possible this week. xo

    You did not show any black males in this array. Put some in and then ask for comments

    • Ah Harold, i hope i am not reading this as a negative comment. Should the color of one’s skin not allow us to throw our full throttle force towards the support of Trayvon and his family? The entire point of this blog is that we are all very different in our skin, our beliefs, and our religion, yet we all want justice served in this case. The fact that it feels you are disappointed that i did not have any black males completely misses the point, and in fact fuels the undertone here that we all need to judge less, love more. I did not actually ask for any comments, however in the spirit of free speech, yours is just as welcome as any others. Finally, and it troubles me greatly that i even need to write this, the photos include friends who are White, Asian, Male, Hispanic, Female, and one very amazing loving black man named Jian. Peace. AC.
