R.I.P MJJ

Posted by Michael J. Cargill


When Michael Joseph Jackson passed away, I like a lot of people , was over taken with a surprising feeling of shock, and sadness. It’s not like I knew Michael, but i did know about his music his life his accomplishments and his downfalls. Michael was a larger than life entertainer, and quintessential  icon for most of his life, and remained so to the day he died.
These were four of the most striking images I snapped in the weeks following his passing. The first was taken  at 3AM on a Friday night when a DJ selling CD’s from a street booth qeued up a medley of Jackson songs and passersby broke into an impromptu dance party/ sing along. 
Image two was taken a few days later under similar circumstances when Rock With You blaring from a nearby stereo caused the woman in the pic to break out in dance the middle of the street. 
The third shot was taken from the window of a costume shop that had a display of Michael and Bubbles in their window.
 The final shot is a graffitti mural that’s been poping up around the city throughout the summer. 



Rest in Peace Michael
