The Caged Bird Sings by Thomas Colvin III was revealed today at Mural City Coffee Company in Dothan, AL today and it was a great turnout. When I found out about the reveal event I knew I was going to make a point to show up, but I wanted to more than just attend.

I met Thomas a couple of years ago at a bridal show at Woodham Farms venue. We were a couple of booth tables down from each other and I was pleased to be around him. Very easy to talk with and down to earth. Just from a glance, I knew he was an artist beyond photography. He was set up for photography and I was set up for videography and photography. Mind, I had JUST added photography to my services for my business. Not to mention there were a few more very talented photographers at the event.

Since the bridal show we have mingled from time to time and I have admired all his work. Today was a special day in the history of Dothan, Alabama. We have an amazing artist living here and he was able to share his work.

I mentioned I wanted to do more than attend, I wanted to record the event for him. I appreciate the arts and I hope this video helps share his story of his work.

Enjoy and please share.
