BRxING IT ON & Night Time at Sanford Stadium
First of all, to see another photo I took of the Pharmacy School story, look below. To see my cover photo from this week’s First & Goal, proceed to the bottom of this entry, read my little write up then click the link. The story continues in today’s Red & Black. As I mentioned yesterday, [...]
Big Story… Need Art… Any Art
Yesterday I got a call from my editor saying that The Red & Black was breaking a big story at the pharmacy school on campus. You can read the story here. To summarize though, a professor is accused of selling the answers to a national exam that all pharmacy students are required to take before [...]
Ron Jeremy and the XXX Church (I really don’t want to know what type of traffic this will generate)
Last night Porn Star Ron Jeremy and Pastor Craig Gross of the XXX Church squared off for a debate in Georgia Hall in the Tate Center on the University of Georgia Campus. The event, which was hosted by University Union, drew a full crowd to hear the two who argued about the porn industry. The [...]
I’ve Got (7) Tickets to Paradise…
Yesterday marked the beginning of ticket pickup for the 2007 football season. Shooting yearly events like this means you are destined to take standard shots of people waiting in line and killing time before the distribution starts. I tried thinking of ways to get something different and came up with the idea of shooting from [...]
Textbooks
Textbooks Yo’ Officials cite accompanying supplementals, such as DVDs and workbooks, and new editions for the rising cost of textbooks. Yesterday one of the pages apparently didn’t have enough copy to fill it. As a result, Nita, the Editor in Chief of the paper, asked if I could do a photo illustration. She collected some [...]

A student on his way to class walks down Church Street towards the campus of The University of Georgia in Athens, Ga. on August 22, 2007 The [...]
UGA Football & Super Heroes
Towards the very end of the summer, one of my final duties as Photo Editor at The Red & Black was to take some conceptual portraits of some UGA football players for an issue of our special section “First & Goal” that comes out every Friday. The theme for the shots was super heroes and [...]
A Backup QB and Lots of Screaming
Yesterday I filled in for Kelly as Photo Editor. Things went smoothly getting photos in and Tyler Estep, the Sports Editor, needed a photo of a freshman QB that I oddly enough had shot this past weekend. I’m not sure why I decided to shoot a freshman QB signing stuff at picture day, but I’m [...]
Breakdancing Down the House
Yesterday around 3:30 pm I was told by my Photo Editor, Kelly Wegel, that I would need to shoot the Break Dancing Club, but I only had 30 minutes to do it since deadline was 9 pm, the club didn’t meet until 8 pm, and I would need time to get back to the Red [...]
Portrait of a Soccer Player
Portraits were once described to me as “the bread and butter” of the news paper photographer’s job. I’m assuming the guy meant we take a lot of them. Well its not a problem with it is, because it is all part of the job so I might as well get experience with them. This is [...]
