Kenneth B. Walker Residential Home for Boys
Greetings All,
I hope all is well and you all are enjoying a good week so far. It's been a while since I did a blog due to school and work. Today I will discuss a recent project and I hope that the video will be an uplifting and positive story for someone out there.
A few weeks ago, A friend of mine who I've known for a few years, ask me to do a project for her place of employment. I was honored that she recommended me to capture a brief day in the life of The Kenneth B. Walker Residental Home Inc. in Columbus GA.
Kenneth B. Walker Residential Home, Inc. is a nonprofit, 501(c) 3 organization based in the heart of Columbus, Georgia. Since 2003, KBW Residential Home has been serving the youth of Columbus and surrounding areas, servicing males 6-18 years old who have suffered abuse, neglect or been incarcerated. To date, KBW has served over 500 males in the state of Georgia. KBW is CARF accredited in both group home care and counseling.
It was an awesome and positive experience to be welcomed with open arms, meet and work with the staff of The KBW Residental Inc.
I would like to thank the staff of The KBW Residental Inc. for allowing me the honor to cover their project.
Please check out the video and I hope you enjoy. Also Please feel free to subscribe to my blog for new blog entries.

Individuality Isn't for Lazy People
Good Morning,
I hope you all are doing well on this Wednesday. This blog will highlight the cons of relying on someone else to make your dreams come true.
Just recently, YouTube has changed its policies on monetization and now it's affecting a lot of people who were collecting a check from them. Now that a lot of YouTubers are not making the money from YouTube like they use too, this brings me to the question: Why would you heavily rely on someone else to take care of you when you are responsible for yourself?
How are you a boss if your business is sharing Facebook's or YouTube's domain?
Outside of your spending habits today, are you providing a long-term investment in yourself?
Where's your website?
The reality is if FB decides to suspend your profile/group your minute in the spotlight is over; what would you do if this was your way to make money or network with clientele? A savvy business person has already made necessary preparations to prevent the demise of their brand by having their own network independent from YouTube or Facebook. You can't be a Business person simply because you state so; it's bestowed upon those whom your business proactively affects.
Relying on social media outlets doesn't qualify you as a "boss", being independent of other business platforms, longevity and creating your own market base is a start, the rest is much bigger than Facebook. In fact, it will hinder you from connecting with more serious business minded people and they will not take you seriously.
Basically, use FB to market and promote your brand. Never put everything on any social media platform. Use social media platforms as a vehicle to send people to your website.
Invest in yourself and in your brand. Stop being dependent on something or someone else. I understand you have to rely on someone else, job, or work with what you have until something better comes along. At some point, you have to build your own network, a business brand with the money you have and invest in yourself so you don't have to rely on someone else forever.

KalonGasm Is Done
Greetings All,
I hope all is well. I did a little mention of KalonGasm in my previous blog A New Day, however this will be a little more in depth blog about KalonGasm.
I have to admit there’s something been on my mind for a few years now. I’ve been going back and forth the last 2 years with my boudoir work and keeping separate from DSoul Fotography. It was out of fear because if some people saw my boudoir work combined with the traditional work, I was afraid that some people were going to run off. After heavily thinking about this, I’ve decided that I can’t satisfy everyone and it’s no point. I’ve learned that if some people are turned off my some of my work then they weren’t in my clientele market to begin with. I have decided to merge my boudoir work into DSoul Fotography. KalonGasm will continue to be in use under DSoul Fotography when it comes to my boudoir work.
In Jan 2014, KalonGasm was born. At the time, I did a little boudoir work before 2014 however it wasn’t much. Boudoir wasn’t necessarily a venture I wasn’t quite interested in at the time because I was focused on other ventures. I didn’t really start doing boudoir work until mid-late summer 2014 while I was in Korea. By that time I was already working with a burlesque model over there. I decided that I could use the opportunity to learn about boudoir photography. It gave me a chance to update her and her burlesque models their portfolios. It was by this point, boudoir work was something I could add to my repertoire. From this point on, I began to invest my some of my energy into KalonGasm which allowed me to work with a Korean nude model and a plus size model before I departed from Korea.
KalonGasm is defined as a KalonGasm is a intensely skin deep pleasurable experience that Celebrates the Beauty in Women. The intent of KalonGasm is to show off some intimate, erotic aspect of my fashion glamorous boudoir work. KalonGasm strives to capture the aspect of erotic & boudoir photography that excites and arouses the viewer. KalonGasm strives to make the work one of the most highly exquisite images that capture sensuality and pleasure. KalonGasm explores Sensual Classy Boudoir that plays with intense emotion. KalonGasm also strives to make the photo shoots real, raw, spontaneous, sophisticated, fun, professional, sensual and classy as possible. The boudoir work you see, are of models, muses, and everyday women that have given him the opportunity to capture them intimately through my lens.
KalonGasm is alive and well. It’s been merged into my DSoul Fotography brand. Yes I know the title is misleading however it worked. It got you to check out this blog :). The images you see are some of my boudoir work in 2014 with Sparkle Fox. I hope that you all enjoy. Have a great weekend.
