Atlanta Mayoral Race: Mary Norwood
One of my assignments on Saturday for the AJC was to cover Atlanta Mayoral Candidate Mary Norwood’s publicity event at the intersection of Monroe and Piedmont in Midtown. Norwood walked up and down the sidewalk waving at drivers and sometimes talking to them after they’d roll down their windows. Nothing special, but the light was [...]
Football: University of Georgia vs. Georgia Tech
Last night was the final game of the regular season for the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech. The two always end their season with a home and home series against each other in a rivalry known as “Clean Old Fashioned Hate.” Last year Tech shocked Georgia under first year head coach Paul Johnson and [...]
Photos of the Month: November, 2009
Only two photos for the entire month unfortunately, but I’d like these and decided to showcase them anywhere. As always, if you like a photo, let the photographer know it by visiting their site and sending them a message. Photo by Brian Leddy; http://www.brianleddy.com
Thanksgiving with the Roegiers Family (and Elyse)
Today for lunch I was invited to spend some time with my roommate Brett’s family. He’s from Florida so his family drove up to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with him. They had a full kitchen in their hotel room, so they cooked all the food there and it was really good. Also gonna send some [...]
2nd Place Spot News, Region 6, February 2009
I just found out that I won Second Place for Spot News in Region 6 of the NPPA for February of 2009. They’ve been ridiculously slow at getting that month up, which is why I just found out. You can see the entry on the NPPA website by clicking here.
The Athlete’s Foot
Last Friday, before high school football, I spent the day shooting stills for a training video that The Athlete’s Foot was putting together. Their headquarters was in Norcross so it was pretty convenient. I had to build a makeshift white seamless background for some product shots but I’ve seen it done a few times in [...]
Football: Roswell vs. Grayson
Last Friday before heading down to Tallahassee, I shot the Roswell vs. Grayson High School football game. It was for the second round of the playoffs and I expected Grayson to roll, because, well… thats what Grayson does. Grayson did in fact win, the game did not go into over time (thank goodness), and I [...]
Basketball: Florida State vs. Georgia State
This morning I kicked off my basketball season by shooting the Florida State vs. Georgia State NCAA women’s basketball game in Atlanta. First off, Georgia State has quite possibly the nicest high school basketball arena ever, and I say that in all seriousness. Second, I was a bit rusty since I haven’t shot basketball since [...]
Football: Maryland vs. Florida State
This morning I found myself down in Tallahassee, Florida, to shoot the Maryland-Florida State game for US Presswire. The game was surprisingly close given how bad Maryland has been this year, but FSU pulled some fourth quarter heroics to win in the end. I wish Georgia could have learned something from this game. I’d never [...]
White seamless
Today I practiced using a white seamless background using just small strobes instead of big lights. Tomorrow I’m going to be doing some product shots along with some other still work for a client and I wanted to make sure all the gear worked. Here is a quick shot of the set up (minus my [...]
