It’s Just Politics (Part 2) – My Lens . My World . My Perspective

A recent road trip brought my mom and I to Kershaw, South Carolina. Now this was only my second time stopping in the state of South Carolina, but the first time I went, I only stopped by for Easter dinner. What both of these trips had in common was the fact that people in the South can COOK! If you haven’t guessed by now, I do enjoy food, and somebody’s home-cooking is my absolute favorite! Anyway, this post is not about food, but rather about the political process. In my last post, I documented the election party that my friend had during her primary election campaign. Well, in South Carolina, we went with friends to a different kind of election party. Mr. Sammie Tucker, Jr. recently won the primary election in the Kershaw County Sheriff race, so he threw a party to thank all of the people that voted for him. This party had all of the makings of a day to remember from the delectable chocolate brownies to the finger-licking bar-b-q chicken to the oh-so-moist pound cake to fresh watermelon – and I’m just talking about the food. But the party also had crowd-pleasers, like the electric slide, the cha-cha slide, a live band playing the oldies but goodies, folks on the dance floor, and much more. I was so glad that we were able to be a part of this celebration! See images below.

If you don’t know by now, I really like photographing food. This picture was an ode to down-south cooking! Y’all, the bar-b-q chicken was so finger-licking good that I spent some time cleaning that bone. This is as good as it got because I was trying to look dignified by eating the chicken with the plastic fork… but I had been in the comforts of my own home, I don’t think you would have seen anything left on that bone!
