Make of these what you want, but Lawrence Hosannah and I devised them by telephone when we were across the continent from each other. We also had a lot of laughs doing these.

I hope no one is offended by the fact that Lawrence isn't wearing much. He's a bodybuilder, and this is the way bodybuilders appear in public onstage.

They are interesting though I confess...I don't "get" what the meaning might be...what you are satirizing.

Made me laugh, especially the one where he's reaching for the stars....with a mop. The young man is a good sport. I doubt that there are many mops in his future.

The blue tone in his skin is something Africans and African-Americans frequently show if they are very dark-skinned. It is reflected light from the sky. Some people have skin so dark that they have a very strong blue tinge on a sunny day.

This one guy has more talent than any half-dozen people combined usually have. He is a brilliant artist, gifted writer, great personal trainer and great bodybuilding competitor. He has designed store window displays for some of the biggest, most prestigious stores in New York City. Need K add that he is very intelligent ? He has been in TV commercials, too. He is actually not African-American. He is African-British, but came to this country at such an early age that having lived in Brooklyn many years you hear Brooklyn, not England in his voice.

Thats very interesting.

Question about the blue tinge...even though it's a "known issue" with certain skin types, is it not normally corrected?

I'm not ragging on you....I just don't know.

I don't know if it is normally corrected or even normally avoided. Personally, I am happy when the outdoor light gives it to me. That's the way some people look. Talk to any African-American and say, "He's so dark he sometimes looks blue," and the person you're talking to will give a sign of recognition because everyone in the community knows people who look like that. In camera RAW or PhotoShop one could definitely lessen or get rid of the blue. I just never have.

Thanks for that info...I'm not a pro so I had no idea.

Blue-Black is very well known.

I am pretty light-skinned in the greater scheme of things but some of my cousins are rather dark--none approaching blue.

I would never post-process to remove someones tint--it's just a part of who they are.
