London based photographer Errol’s “Do You Have an Afro” series is a must see! In his own words:

“Recently I have decided to set up an ongoing photo project portraiting Afro-headed people. I placed an ad on the Internet and some of the people who responded were invited to stand in front of my camera. The following portraits display their individuality, style and character.”

I made it just in time to catch the incredibly inspirational “HEADS UP! A Soulful Celebration of Our HAIRitage” event in Brooklyn last week.  So many fabulous natural dos’ in the audience, so overwhelming (in the best way possible). Unfortunately my camera wasn’t cooperating so I lost some lovely shots but I managed to salvage a few.

One of my favorites was of Numi & Ummkhair and their amazing halos. Serious “fro evny” (as my homie Sharri would say).
