Planes, Trains and...

Here we go again… amongst all the madness this pandemic has caused, the effects are still lingering.

I was hired to go to North Carolina on a shoot for one of this country’s bigger philanthropic entities, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

Long story short, in the middle of a 5 day assignment, I was released… due to not having submitted to invasive experimental drug therapy (i.e., the jab). I was told to contact the company’s travel agent to arrange a flight back home. Given that I was to leave the next day, I didn’t want to deal with the hassle that comes with airline travel see past blog, so I called Amtrak (it just so happened that the day before, the train station was one of our filming locations). I was able to get a next day ticket from N.C. to D.C. for $50.00. The simplicity and efficiency reminded me of why I enjoyed riding the rails so much in my youth.

And to show how The Most High can turn an exit into a new entry, I met a gentleman named James Thorne who was watching me snap these photos. We had a short conversation and I found out he worked for a non-profit called NABVET (National Association Of Black Veterans), whose work involves assisting veterans who’ve been marginalized by the system and help them to claim the benefits due to them. He would like me to document the group’s efforts and help tell their story… Funny how that works.
