I don't do a lot of red carpets. They tend to be a feeding frenzy of flashing bulbs and you might get a minute or two tops with celebrities. It's not exactly a great place for substantial interviews or even news. (I did manage to get some fresh info from Yolanda Adams that I posted a couple days ago.). This leaves photographs and some video. I took a few photos and did a couple of FB Live interviews at the BMI R&B and Hip Hop Awards last Thursday at Atlanta Symphony Hall. BMI honored R&B legend and former Atlantan Toni Braxton.

Here are photos I took of some of the celebrities that made it on the red carpet:
