High School Football: Collins Hill @ Parkview
Last night was my first ever assignment for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I had contacted them earlier in the summer to let them know I was available for high school football and other freelance work this fall, and earlier in the week they followed up with me. This was my first high school game with my [...]
Red Bull Soap Box Derby @ Piedmont Park
Much earlier in the summer I saw a sign for Red Bull’s Soap Box Derby, which would be taking place in midtown. Then at the Reynoldstown Wheelbarrow Festival, I saw another sign. Today it finally came. I got to 10th and Piedmont right around 11:30 a.m. and shot the pits for a little bit before [...]
Medieval Times, Duluth
My friend Jonathan, who is a photographer for the paper I used to work out, had his birthday yesterday but didn’t celebrate it until today. A bunch of us went to Medieval Times at Discover Mills because Jonathan’s girlfriend Destiny had buy-one-get-one free coupons, effectively turning a $50 ticket into something much more reasonable. It [...]
Lyndsey’s Birthday – Stormy Weather
Today was Lyndsey’s birthday, so a bunch of people went with her to dinner at Bangkok Thyme in Sandy Springs before coming back to Brett and I’s place and ultimately ending up at MJQ. As we got back to our apartment, a storm started moving in so there was a lot of lightning over downtown [...]
Day in the Olympic Park
Went downtown today to pick up my press credential for Chick-Fil-A’s kickoff game between the University of Alabama and Virginia Tech at the Georgia Dome on September 5th. It’ll be a busy day since I have the Georgia Tech vs. Jacksonville State University game at 1 pm and hope to catch the UGA game against [...]
Lindbergh Snapshots
Walked to the post office today to buy some stamps. Took some photos on the way. I had a coupon for a free candy bar. This was my reward for cashing it in.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Just wanted to let everyone know that starting on Friday I will be freelancing for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution for high school football games this fall. – Josh
World’s largest water balloon fight
Around 12:30 today I found out about radio station 99x’s attempt to stage the world’s largest ever water balloon fight at The Masquerade on North Avenue. Not having much else to do, I went over and tried to see what I could get. I managed to stay pretty dry, all things considered and there was [...]
Preseason Countdown: High School
This is my final preseason countdown post (see the others here here, here and here). Today’s football photos are all high school level. They are all copyright The Anniston Star, the Gwinnett Daily Post and OurVarsity.com Central Gwinnett High School’s Malcom Moulton got decked during a play against Birkmar High School in 2007.
Quick trip to Athens
Yesterday my schedule opened up enough that I was able to make a quick trip up to Athens to visit some people and see the first meeting of the semester for Demosthenian. For the most part, I’m happy to have graduated and be removed from most of the happenings of the society but I felt [...]
