A Fun Nigerian Wedding at Dearborn’s Greenfield Manor

I had such a great time photographing my favorite wedding of the year (so far). Bolanle and Daniel threw a big, high-energy, traditional Nigerian wedding with two different ceremonies on a recent Saturday. Then Marci Curtis photographed their third — more intimate — Western-style ceremony on Sunday. Both the traditional Yoruba engagement and traditional Yoruba wedding are very meaningful and packed with symbolism.

From the web: A Yoruba traditional wedding, known as Igbeyawo, is a vibrant cultural celebration uniting the two families. The event centers around the family introduction (Momi mo e), the presentation of the engagement list (Eru Iyawo), respectful prostrations (Idobale) by the groom, colorful aso-oke attire, and lively hosting by traditional MCs (Alagas).

The entire event was beautiful and masterfully orchestrated. Enjoy just a few of my favorite photos here:

This DoD video shows something resembling an eight-pointed star with arms of alternating length. No other video in the newly released crop has caused more argument and analysis by armchair “experts” & “professional” debunkers over the past 36 hours. Filmed in the Middle East in 2013, the entire one-minute-and-46-second video can be viewed here.

One of the most profound things that has ever affected humanity or could soon affect humanity may have just happened.

We Three Tree Thieves

Mr. P. just had another birthday. He’s in his 90s and the statute of limitations should’ve expired at some point, I suspect. But I don’t wanna risk it. Although his son, whom I’ll call “John Pineau,” is now a successful lawyer in Colorado. I’m sure he could get his dad acquitted for the crime I’m about to reveal.

We had yet another spectacular day for the No Kings 3.0 rally in Troy, Michigan on Saturday. Featuring a bright blue sky — foretelling the upcoming bright blue wave — Troy’s was one of thousands of rallies across the state, country and WORLD! Reportedly more than eight million people showed up for the combined events, making this the biggest rally in U.S. history.

Missed Movies in the Oscar’s Best Picture Category

After finally seeing all of the 2025 Best Picture nominees for this year’s Academy Awards, as usual, there were some stunning omissions. Even though I’m not really into vampires or Mary Shelley’s monster, I’m all-in on demons, apparently, and those that hunt them while singing.

the truth is OUT …

There, we are not alone.

Look, I know I’ve told you this before and there are a whole bunch of you that likely think I’m a kook. That’s by design; you’re supposed to think I’m kooky. But I tell ya, kids, we’re not the only show in town, not the only cats on the couch.
