Lincoln Park Newport News, Virginia A Visual Poetry of History
|
Posted By: DJ Black HD on November 07, 2023 Adventures in Time: DJ Black HD's Newport News Chronicles It was a warm summer evening in Newport News, Virginia, and the sun hung low in the sky, casting a golden hue across the water. DJ Black HD, a man with a camera in one hand and a soulful spirit in the other, stood on the weathered wooden planks of the Lincoln Park pier, peering through his lens at the world unfolding before him. As the gentle breeze whispered through the reeds that lined the shore, DJ Black HD couldn't help but think about the stories of the people who had walked these same planks before him. Lincoln Park had a history that stretched back through time, a place where generations of African Americans had sought solace, community, and a taste of freedom amidst the segregated South. The park was a sanctuary, a refuge, and a place where dreams took flight. The water before him shimmered like a mirage, reflecting the changing colors of the sky. DJ Black HD focused his lens on a group of children playing by the water's edge, their laughter harmonizing with the soft melodies of the blues drifting from a nearby radio. He captured their joy, their innocence, and their hope for a brighter tomorrow, all within the frame of his camera. His fingers danced across the dials and buttons of his camera, adjusting settings and angles as he continued his visual journey. He moved from the children to an elderly couple sitting on a bench, holding hands as they watched the world pass by. Their love was a testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit, and DJ Black HD captured their connection with each click of his shutter. The park was alive with the sounds of people picnicking, singing, and sharing stories. DJ Black HD couldn't help but feel the weight of history and the echoes of those who had fought for civil rights in this very place. The struggles and triumphs, the pain and the joy, all had left their indelible mark on this sacred ground. As the sun dipped lower in the sky, DJ Black HD moved to the edge of the pier to capture the sun's reflection on the water. He watched as the ripples created a dance of light and shadow, a reminder that even in the face of adversity, beauty could still be found. In that moment, DJ Black HD understood that his photographs were not just images; they were a testament to the resilience and spirit of the people who had made Lincoln Park their own. His camera was his voice, and through it, he shared the stories of those who had come before and those who walked alongside him now. As he packed up his camera and prepared to leave the pier, DJ Black HD knew that he would return. There were more stories to be told, more moments to capture, and more history to preserve. In the spirit of James Baldwin, he understood that the power of storytelling could transcend time and bring about change, one photograph at a time.
