I had a chance to chat with him about his new book that released Thursday, Feb. 18th, 2016 entitled: Ferguson: The Harmonious Moments of Separation. The book is based on cutting-edge photography that tells the story of Ferguson.
Robert: Whats the main point of the book?
Robert: Why did you write it?
Timothy: I produced this Photography Concept Book simply for people to hold a piece of history in their procession that has not been altered. Simply shining light on the other side of what was shown in the media was my general purpose.
Robert: What did you want to accomplish with this book?
Timothy: It is my goal, that this moment in time causes a modern day Tipping Point. I want play an integral part in breaking the chains on the worlds definition of limits. I want this book to serve as a platform for purpose and an element of cultivation. As a reader and viewer of this book, I want everyone to recognize the opportunity that they have to change the world in any capacity that they put their mind to.
Robert: How instrumental has Harris-Stowe State been in preparing you for the future?
Timothy: Harris-Stowe State has had a great influence on preparing me for the future because they have genuinely provided me with tools to perfect my craft and allowed me the opportunity to test concepts that I have gone on to reproduce for brands across the world. When you have a home that invests in who you are socially, mentally, and emotionally you can’t help but understand the value in your Alma Mater. It takes a village to raise a child and Harris-Stowe State University has aided me in my development as a product of an HBCU!
Robert: Why Ferguson? Do you have any plans to sustain Ferguson beyond hashtags and protests?
Timothy: I chose Ferguson, because it was the 1st place in the history of my life that was close to home and caused a modern day civil war which directly affected me. I wanted to ensure that I did everything in my power to capture history. The thing is, I was directly volunteering inside Ferguson and in the surrounding area before August 2014 and I will continue to do what I can to assist in the development of the area. I definitely plan on assisting Ferguson in their sustainability programming through future efforts of mentoring and program development.
