Men With Locs

Hello Folks! A few weeks back, Tia and I was lucky enough to be invited to Philly’s first annual Natural Hair show! We met some dynamite people, and took a whole bunch of pictures. Of course at these types of events, we never expect to see men but I was lucky enough to meet a few. Pictured here is one of the men that I met Derrick and his lady friend. Derrick has been loc’d for 11 years and as you can see, his locs are gorgeous. He didn’t say much (his girlfriend says he is a bit shy) but he did tell me he maintains them himself. I also took a few other pictures of vendors and vendor displays, I even had the opportunity to meet up with a spoken word artst known in DC as “Big Homey”. He allowed me to feature him in our loc’d talk (which I will post very soon). Overall the event was well planned and very nice for its first. The turn out was great too! Can’t wait to see what next year has in store :) Take Care All Nina Oh by the way, Tia has finally put up our instagram page! So if you are on instagram, follow us @menwithlocs. Of course our facebook is still booming too www.fb.com/menwithlocs. Check them out and feel free to submit your pics to menwithlocs@hotmail.com!

Listen up Brothers from Philly and Brooklyn. We teamed up with She’s Royal Wraps to bring you some great images of everyday brothers wearing  beautiful headwraps. If you are someone you know would be interested in participating please contact us at menwithlocs@hotmail.com. This is one of the many images of a brother by the name of Lovefire who lives in Brooklyn. I shot this last Saturday in Prospect Park and out of all of the images I done of this gentleman, this was my favorite out of the bunch. Check back tomorrow when I post our “Loc’d Talk” featuring this brother.  Take Care  Nina
