Over the years that we've been a living, kicking entity, Okayplayer.com has often featured photography by the talented shutterbugs in our community. In the spirit of okayfamily we recently invited members to submit photographs to be displayed in our first ever Okay Photographer Month. Every weekday for the month of August 2003, this page will showcase the gifts that our contributors have shared. Special thanks to everyone who sent in photos, reached out with inquiries and hollered at us about how great they thought the idea was.

Mpozi Mshale Tolbert • Representing Indianapolis (still repping philly!!!) I'm a true believer in documenting and archiving the various elements of the modern youth culture, it lends perspective in later years. • Equipment Canon Eos-1N, both film and digital bodies. Most of the early Roots pictures were shot on Nikon F2/F3 and F4's... • Favorite Subject to Photograph People in their various states of dress, undress, calm, drama, life, and death... • Contact Info mpozi@hotmail.com • Website some of PoZi's old skool Roots photos can be seen here, on a previous version of The Roots site
