The other week I shot the South Gwinnett vs. Archer high school football game for the AJC. It was my last high school game for the season as my schedule won’t really allow for me to shoot anymore. Archer, in it’s second year of divisional play, was playing to clinch their first ever spot in [...]
Last Friday I shot the Marietta vs. Walton High School game for the AJC. Say something that could go wrong, and it probably did. In the end you still have to make due and send photos. At least someone was celebrating.
Last Friday I shot the Roswell High School vs. Milton High School football game for the AJC. Milton was on a roll setting a school best record of 6-1 on the season while Roswell (normally a powerhouse) was 0-6. Alpharetta had never beaten Roswell, so they didn’t miss the chance to run up the score [...]
Last weekend the AJC sent me up to Braselton, Ga., to visit the last ever race at Lanier National Speedway. Lanier National is a short-track, less than a mile long, that hosted several races a year for drivers who were just getting their start. Declining attendance and participation due to the economy drove them (see [...]
On Friday I shot my third high school football game of the season for the AJC. This one was at Buford High School. This week Lovett was coming to town, which in itself was not a big deal. Buford has only lost one game in the past 4 or 5 years. However, the one game [...]
On Friday I shot my second high school football game of the season for the AJC. This one was at McEachern High School in Powder Springs, Ga. The stadium there was insane, it fits over 10k people and the pressbox had just been redone so it was 3 stories and one level of it was [...]
A few weeks ago the AJC sent me out to the Studio Movie Grill in Roswell to cover a meetup of the Atlanta Boomers Meetup Group. This group of middle-aged women hang out together on a regular basis and this time were going to see “The Help.” I was tasked with getting photos of the [...]
My first high school football game of the season is officially in the books. Sandy Creek never trailed, but White Water looked like it might make it close in the first quarter. I always forget how dark high school stadiums are. Good thing my 1DmIV is up to the task. Whitewater High School’s quarterback takes [...]
Last Saturday the AJC asked me to shoot a Habitat for Humanity build for a story they were doing about housing development. The shoot went really well, and I was quite happy with how the photos came out. Sometimes the light, backgrounds and environment all just work in your favor. This was one of those [...]
The other weekend I shot the 75th Anniversary celebration of Gone With the Wind at the Margaret Mitchell Home in Midtown Atlanta. It was an interesting, if sparsely attended event (at least while I was there), that involved people dressed in period clothing and dancing the Virginia Real. Dancing the Virginia Real at the Margaret [...]
