UPENN Students Bridge Jumping

Yesterday, April 24th 2009, I was walking on the Schuylkill River Trail with my cousin and friend. We were thinking about walking to the Penn Relays which were going on that day but decided to just stop by the river and relax. Little did we know, it was also Hey Day for University of Pennsylvania Students.

“Hey Day” is a tradition for students to mark the advancement of each class.

These particular students were celebrating their Hey Day, or moving up to the next class year, by jumping off of the Walnut St. bridge into the murky, dirty, infested (with what no one knows) Schuylkill River.

Barack & Curtis: Manhood, Power & Respect

I feel compelled to share this. It’s what I’ve been saying for a long time now, and finally, someone has expressed it as well as I could have only hoped. That being, the strong parrallels that can be drawn between the modern, public impression of black, gangsta masculinity and white, capitalistic society and “success.”

A short documentary film examining the contrasting styles of manhood exhibited by Presidential Candidate Barack Obama and Rapper/Mogul Curtis Jackson, aka 50 Cent.

VIDEO – My Barack Obama Handshake

UPDATE!! 10-04-2008: MY VIDEO WILL APPEAR ON CNN! This morning I received a phone call from CNN that my video, also submitted to their iReport website, would be picked up for on-air use. First, Philadelphia City Paper.. now CNN. This has been a big week for me!

Vincent J. Brown:

October 3rd, 2008 (Abington, PA) – Barack Obama, while campaigning in the Abington suburb of Philadelphia, shook MY hand. A wonderful experience. Here’s the video

In the video, you can hear the Secret Service agent talking to me. First telling me to move my camera behind me because it was hanging over the railing and Barack Obama, speaking directly to me calling me, “Sir.” Better photos from my Canon DSLR to come.

Recorded with a jailbroken, 16GB Apple iPhone 3G (white)

UPDATE: CNN.com features my iReport video under “Latest News”
