Bintou courtesy of Dallas J. Logan

These are captures of Bintou, a model of Senegalese descent from Brooklyn. Dallas J. Logan was the photography of the striking images. He's worked with a DSLR for about 2 1/2 years and in that short time he's done magazine editorials, two clothing line campaigns, two skin care campaigns and an underwear line... He "now teach others the little bit I know."

In those two years I guess he has learned the technical aspects of photography but the creative artistry portrayed in his works belies that relatively short period of study. And his vision is clear in both his works and his words. We are fortunate to share some of his works in the Garden.
