The Black Suit Project is a fine art photography series centered on the image of the black suit — a symbol of presence And of the conversations that might help others live longer, fuller lives.
Through portraits of men over 40, with special attention to men over 70, this project reflects on manhood, dignity, and legacy. this projects raises awareness about prostate cancer and encourages men to speak with their doctors about screening, personal risk, family history, and early detection.
This project is about love, honor, memory, and action.
Wear the suit. Have the conversation. Know your number.
In honor of my Father, Jimmie Lee Birts, Jr... "Jambo Watusi"
