Photos of the Year 2008: Features
Welcome to the conclusion of my series of posts for my photos of the year. Today is features. Honorable Mention: Ricky Harrell stands outside of his barbershop on MLK Jr. Blvd in Macon as he waits for his nephew to return for a game of chess.
(More) lots of basketball
I shot two games today, because the other photographer was shooting the dominant art for the sports section he got to take the Pocket Wizards with him. I figured this may be the case so I planned ahead and brought my Canon and 85mm f/1.8. Lets just say that combination is a beast at shooting [...]

Photos of the Year 2008: Sports Features
Numero 6 of my Best of 2008 photo posts. Today is Sports Features, so non-action photos relating to a sporting event. Honorable Mention: Tyler Boon plays around with a baseball in The Northeast Sales dugout during Wednesday night’s game against Hawthorne Drugs. Would have made the cut if the background was a little cleaner.
Lots of Basketball
Shot 3 high school basketball games yesterday. One was at a tournament sponsored by Powerade at North Gwinnett High School in Suwanee which featured the Parkview Women’s team against East Hall. The other two were men’s and women’s games at the Deep South Classic down at Brookwood High School featuring Grayson and Greater Atlanta Christian. [...]
Photos of the Year 2008: Portraits
Part 5 of the Best of 2008. Today is portraits, like sportraits but without sports. Honorable Mention: Ed Butchart is a professional Santa at Stone Mountain Park. He wrote a book titled, “The Red Suit Diaries,†and will soon be releasing a sequel. Would have made the list had he been wearing a Santa suit, [...]
Blanche Alverson
I shot these portraits of Buford basketball player Blanche Alverson back in early November when I was doing Super 6 stuff. I wanted to go with a different look than most of the portraits we run so I played around with this a bit to see if selective desaturation would make it more interesting. After [...]
Ramen in light
Ultra cool points to anyone who gets what the title is a parody of. Anyways, I did this illustration yesterday. The model is my friend Kim who I know from UGA, she was in Demosthenian with me, but lives near the GDP office in Lawrenceville. Ramen, normally a staple of poor college students, is growing [...]
Gladiators vs. Stingrays
Shot the Gladiators game tonight at the Gwinnett Arena against the South Carolina Sting Rays. Normal hockey shots, but I really liked this fight photo right below this. The Gwinnett Gladiators’ Daniel Sullivan (28) gets a knock to the head by the South Carolina Stingrays’ Tommy Maxwell (26) as refs try to stop the fight [...]
