CNN: Hong Nguyen’s Vietnam
Last week I was sent out to Decatur to shoot some photos of a guy from Vietnam who had grown an ivy map on his home. The story evolved from a story about interesting landscaping to his personal story about how he escaped Vietnam after serving in a reeducation camp for 10 years. Jim Kavanagh [...]
Portrait: Matt Guiney
Monday afternoon I did some senior portraits of Matt Guiney up in Buford, Ga. We started off shooting the city’s square downtown but then moved over to Buford High School to get some photos of there as well. Right before the portrait session was supposed to begin, it started raining, but it cleared out right [...]
Portrait: Jennifer Waldman
Friday evening I did some headshots and other assorted portraits for singer/actress Jennifer Waldman. We did some studio type shots inside, but then moved out to my balcony. I’m pretty happy with how the shoot turned out. I decided to keep the light simple so I used one of my White Lightnings along with the [...]
Football: Georgia Tech’s T-Day Scrimmage
Saturday was Georgia Tech’s annual T-Day game, which marks the final practice of the spring for the football team. It is the third of three team scrimmages and the only one open to the public. It is held in Bobby Dodd Stadium. Last year was the first time I shot the game (see here). Unfortunately [...]
L’oreal Paris @ Emory
Today I shot an event for L’oreal Paris over at Emory. They were handing out samples of products and letting people try them out. I was kind of surprised to see as many girls as there were trying out the stuff in the middle of the campus. Oh yeah, they also had yoga lessons going [...]
Fried Rice
Tonight I forgot to start making dinner until it was kind of late, so I rushed to rig something together based on the ingredients in my pantry. Ultimately, it ended up being fried rice. My pot with ill-fitting lid, since I couldn’t find the proper one.
Where’s the Traffic?
My final assignment for the AJC this past weekend was to document traffic conditions in the downtown area near Philips Arena and Five Points. The thought that between the Hawks playoff game and Freaknik, there would be a lot of congestion. Well, that wasn’t the case, or at least in my experience with Atlanta traffic. [...]
Zombies in the Virginia Highlands
Saturday I was shooting for the AJC again but they had only given me one assignment which wasn’t until later in the day. I had marked this event on my calendar about a month ago and really wanted to shoot it so I pitched the idea to the Visual Manager. He liked it and since [...]
Prom With a Purpose
Friday evening the AJC had me shoot a group of students from the Whitefield Academy who were doing something called, “Prom With a Purpose.” The alternative style prom’s goal was to save as much money as possible by not going to fancy restaurants, renting limo’s or holding the event at a nice venue so that [...]
2010 Dogwood Festival
Friday was my first of a two-day stint for the AJC. The first of my assignments was to cover the setup at the annual Dogwood Festival held at Piedmont Park. However, by the time my assignment was scheduled for, everything had already been setup, so I transitioned to general feature photos from the festival. I’d [...]
