I posted this 4 weeks ago and it only seems fitting to #repost this again on this day of passing of Ms. Maya Angelou. She was an Author, Poet, Professor, Tony award winning Actress and much more. Ms. Angelou lived a full life and touched many people with her writings and insightful teachings. She will be forever remembered and missed. May her beautiful soul be at peace and may her literary work be forever cherished. #MayaAngelou #RIP #poet #author #actress #regram #quote #daily #dailyquote

Poet: Patience Agbabi by David_White

I regularly photograph a spoken word event called 451 which is put on by Apples and Snakes a spoken word organisation in the UK.

I get to combine two loves – photography and spoken word. It is always fun with a lot of challenges – least of which is low light and shooting long lens hand held.

Slightly different from my usual posts of landscapes…but I liked this photograph so what the hell. I have never going to be a polished portrait/event photographer as I tend towards the fine art photography but we all do things differently which is the great thing about this medium.

This photograph of international poet and performer Patience Agbabi was from last night’s 451 event.
