What keeps you motivated?

I was covering an event not long ago when something caught my eye from a distance. It was a sparkle and not just an ordinary sparkle but something like a headlight coming straight at you at night. Ok ok I'm exaggerating a little, but I saw one of the most beautiful diamonds I have ever seen. I walked over and asked if I could photograph this magnificent sculpture. Mr. and Mrs. Dukes were more than willing.

My wife deserves a diamond like this...and I'm going to keep doing what I have to do to one day make that dream come true.

Along with my God and my family, one day purchasing one of these is definitely one of the things that keeps me motivated.

Tell me what motivates what you.

Poarch Creek Indians

I had the opportunity of attending an Indian Pow Wow in Atmore, Alabama. This is the Indian way of celebrating Thanksgiving. Here are some photos from the event. It was wonderful seeing so many of my family members. Why do you think I have all of this good hair, you guys know I have Indian in my family. (Laughing)

This first Gentlmen is "Two Clouds." He explained a lot to me about what was going on and why they wore what they had on. The proper name for their attire is "Rigalia." I don't have a clue if I'm spelling it correctly. It sounds like Ri-gale-ya. Like that helps.

My nephew Qualin and I had a great time and I can't wait to get back there next year.

My Daughter Charlsie

She's smart, she's kind, she's beautiful and most of all, she's my oldest daughter. Charlsie Jones is celebrating her 12th birthday.

She was born on October 12, 1995. I remember that night as though it just happened. My wife and I were heading to the hospital at 7:03 that morning only to find out it was a false alarm. The doctor gave her two pills. They were suppose to calm her down. You would've thought she had a fifth of Hennesy. At 7:15 pm, the contractions started again and this time I knew they were real...I watch T.V.! I had to carry her down the steps to the car because she couldn't stand. The pills had taken the drunken woman effect on her. When we arrived at the hospital, security wanted to call the police on me. He thought I'd beat her, she was down on the passenger side floor.

We got to the room and the doctor said there's no time for an epidural. I grabbed him by his collar and said in a very, very, very demanding voice "You will give my wife an epidural!" He then said in a very calm voice "Mr. Jones, do you see that patch of hair right there, that's your daughters head." My wife gave birth naturally to Charlsie. I still get chills. They would've had to cut me.

Here are a few shots from the party. I hope you enjoy them
