#behindme is very a work in progress. I honestly don't know what I'm doing with it but it's fun. I took this on #SEPTA #RT42. My driver was awesome too! I really need to work on this more because it makes me smile. #everydayeverywhere #bw #Love #makeportraits #streetphotography #igersphilly #igers_philly #igers #photojournalism #philly #phillyphotographer #sonyrx100 #blackandwhite #everydaylife #jaleelking #bus

Not sure how much sleep I got last night. For the first time since my injury I spent a night in the #hospital and I wasn't the patient. It's strange to me be the one who now has to comfort in such a way. Despite being officially finished with harshest part of her #cancer treatment she hasn't been left unscathed. Her white blood cell count dropped due to #chemo and the treatment for it has forced a hospital stay due to fevers. This is the first time I can ever remember my #mom needing to be hospitalized, and she's #scared. I think we all are scared even if we don't all show it the same. Her breathing, at times, is erratic almost as if she's having a hard time breathing when she was #sleeping. When she's awake there are #moments when she's not there, even when she looks at you. As her son, and a #human I feel so utterly #powerless. Yes, I do what I can but it doesn't take away this feeling in my mind. I comfort her and keep her calm when things feel overwhelming to her. I keep telling her she has to get herself beach ready after all of this. I try to keep her looking forward and upbeat even though, I, myself, am scared too. I try to hold back so she doesn't see me cry, even when I see her tears as she thanks me for that which she doesn't nor shouldn't.. For simply being there. Sometimes #comfort is all we can do and sometimes it's truly all many want and need. Even when we all want to do so much more but can't. Never forget to #hug and #Love hard! #fuckcancer #cancersucks #mother #momsrule #hope #family #familyfirst #notalone (at Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania)

About to head home but I'm posting a photo of this stitch for reason. When I get home I'll be coming home to flood due to pipe burst. As upset as I want to be, it's not in my control. As I boarded the plane I realized the pillow I just bought had hole! Luckily Dee say in the aisle in front of me and she has a sewing kit. Even when things are going right down forget that sometimes we are rewarded in other ways. In my case it was stitch from a pretty awesome person when I needed it the most! See you soon! #love (at Las Vegas McCarran Airport (LAS))

Well, I landed safe! Let fun begin! (at Las Vegas McCarran Airport (LAS))

About to head out to @rfwppi #wppi2016! Oddly enough, this the 3rd time I got out of Philadelphia either during or just before bad weather. Next stop #vegas! I ran into @cliffmautner and @susanstripling on the same flight too! (at US Airways Terminal C, Philadelphia International Airport)

Thanks to @ahdiyathemodel for coming out and being my muse. #model #ProfotoB2 #Profoto #lighting #mood #love #studio (at Studio 10TWO5)

Shooting with @ahdiyathemodel today at @studio10two5. Things are mad hectic but having fun! SOOC but can't wait to edit what we've created. #fujifilm #X-T1 #bw #love #portraiture #portrait #model (at Studio 10TWO5)

"Why Stop Here" - I took this image while I was out with @levisim in #Philadelphia. This building was lit like this a few days after the #Paris #Shooting. It's one of two images that I took of this building that seemed to foretell of more to come. In all honesty I've been in a little dark place and haven't been posting as much; but this sign, this sign against these colors and what it represented is surreal to me. I had more to say but @instagram has limit on text. #photojournalism #makeportraits #streetphotography #igersphilly #igers #love #life #everydayeverywhere #everydaylife #messages #streetphotographyincolor #fujifilm #signs (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)

Madness! I got a #Canon EF adapter for my #fujifilm #X-T1. I have to manually focus and no aperture control but this will be fun to play with. Not so sure I'll be using my 70-200mm on it much but still cool to know I can if I want. #love #Photographers #photography

I can say without question I have enough triggers for all those attending my photo walk at @photoplusexpo this year thanks to #Profoto @profotoglobal! Only few days away but there is still time to sign up. Did I mention I have some awesome giveaways courtesy of @finaoalbums and @bokehfire? More importantly I plan to make this class fun and informative no matter your skill level! I may not be one of the biggest names for photo walks but I plan to leave you with one the bestest experiences. 😀😀😀You can find me on the Photoplus Expo website. I also added the link on my profile. I can't wait! #photojournalism #makeportraits #streetphotography #NYC #PPE2015 #PhotoPlusExpo #love #learn #lighting #streetportrait #excited #jaleelkingphotoroll #Photographers #photography
