Eating Humble Pie: Jayi Kemp The B Photographer?

 Assisting my uncle at Mr. and Mrs. Henry's wedding 

Ever since I started snapping with my shutter, I have always been the lead photographer. Never once have I done an event where I was not the photographer in charge, but recently that changed.

Earlier this month I was presented with an oppurtunity to shoot a wedding with my Uncle as his assitant. And after weighing over the offer for a little bit, I happily accepted the chance to work with a professional who I felt I could learn from.

NO GANG MAP FOR YOU!!!

So do you see the irony in this, the Toledo Police Department has been reluctant to send the Toledo Blade a copy of its “Gang Map.” A Gang Map that we all know would become public knowledge if up to the Blade staff and probably used to benefit the citizens of Toledo as a whole.

NEXT ON THE BLOCK TO GO: HIGHLAND POOL

I don’t know if the city of Toledo is punishing all black residents of the Southside of Toledo for the immature and stupidity of some of its residences, but it sure does look like the city is removing all the main “black” attractions on that side of town.

THE SOCIAL PHOTOGRAPHER

Some say you should not mix business with pleasure, but I say what’s the point of doing business if there is no pleasure involved? For me relationships trump everything when doing business, if I cannot see a friendship blossoming out of our session together, then I am very reluctant to do business with you.

What Happen Judge Joe Brown

Written By: Jonathan “Jayi” Kemp

So here is the short version of the story, I went to Hollywood February 6, 2012 to record a segment on the Judge Joe Brown TV show over a photograph dispute with a past client of mines. Everything went off without a hitch, we tape, we dine, hell, I had a really good time, but when I came home, I was not given a definite date as to when my show would air.

ON - LOCATION W/JAYI KEMP: KIDS UNLIMITED CHRISTMAS PARTY

Old Friendships Reunited Thanks To Santa

Since coming back to Toledo in mid - September of this year, there has not been one organization that has work with me more exclusively(In my opinion), other then KIDS UNLIMITED. To be a part of this wonderful after - school program for our feature leaders of tomorrow is an amazing honor. I love working with our youth when I have the opportunity too, they are such a delight to be around.

So what would you do if you went from being the # 1 disc jockey in town to being the media punching bag for a not so well thought out incident that caused you to be ousted from the morning show you work so hard to make #1.

Would you give up and hope for acceptance in a new community? Or would you endure the scrutiny of others, and wait patiently for an opportunity to reemerge in the city that once adopted you as their beloved illegitimate son.

Pardon me for being late in the whole “Brain Wilson Saga thing”, but I was doing something more productive with my time other then lending my opinion in this hoopla, but since this seems to be the hot topic today, why not?

The originator as I tend to refer to it as has a new owner preparing to house the old Maumee movie theater off Reynolds road, but instead of it being purchased by another movie theater chain (which a lot of people were hoping) the movie complex was purchase by another mega church that wants to become the next MEGA MEGA church at least in my opinion.

So after hearing about the killing of David Joiner* a little over a month ago I was done with reporting or saying anything else about the senseless killings occurring in Toledo, Ohio, but just like me swearing off on smoking cigarettes, I guess I will have to renege on this as well.
