“Still Feel Like Going On” was created by former Post-Gazette writers Ervin Dyer and Monica Haynes as an offshoot of the “Feel Like Going On” exhibit and project they did more than a decade ago that involved local Black photographers telling untold stories of African-American life. Images from this year’s program are posted on a blog on the paper’s web site that was an outgrowth of “Feel Like Going On.”

“This program helps the young men understand that shooting with a camera is preferable to, and more powerful and productive than shooting with, say, a gun,” said this year’s program administrator, PBMF Treasurer-Parliamentarian LaMont Jones.
“Our program scholars came into a fuller awareness of what famed Black photographer and filmmaker Gordon Parks was talking about when he spoke of a choice of weapons. They also gained a greater appreciation of the skill and persistence it takes to create a memorable photograph.”

The 2014 program scholars were Sovren Gray, Elijah Steave, Dorian Epps, Foster Owens, George Bryce and Richard W. Taylor II. Mentors were Carol Moye, Clyde Harris, Phillip Stephenson, Sean Means, Glenn Aldridge, John M. Butler II, Germaine Watkins and Kenneth Neely.
