Water gun fight @ Freedom Park
A few weeks back I got an invite on Facebook to a largescale water-gun fight to be held at Freedom Park. It was organized by the same person who put together the pillow fight I shot back in late February (see here). I was debating whether or not I should bring my 400mm lens in [...]
Fourth of July Fireworks @ Centennial Olympic Park
Obviously yesterday was the 4th of July. I for one love the holiday, that is when I get to actually celebrate, and really enjoy seeing the fireworks. I love photographing the lights as well. Fortunate for me, the senior editor at CNN last night was up for me shooting the fireworks so we’d have something [...]
Protesting BP in Atlanta
A few weeks ago when I was working a Saturday shift I was told they needed some photos from a protest at a BP station that was happening over near Little 5 Points on Mooreland Ave. I went over with the writer and just shot what I saw going on. An interesting aspect I saw [...]
Ride of Silence, 2010
Two weeks ago I shot the Ride of Silence bicycle ride that started and ended at Piedmont Park. It was one of over 300 rides honoring fallen and injured riders that occurred across the world on May 19th. If it sounds familiar, it’s because I shot it last year (see here). This year though I [...]

News: Westboro Baptist Church visits Grady High School in Atlanta
A week or two ago I heard the Westboro Baptist church was coming back into town. You know who they are, they go to random places and hold signs that say “God Hates Fags” or something else along those lines. For whatever reason, they picked Grady High School as an appropriate place to protest. Problem [...]
CNN: Taco Bell’s Salad
Last month when the KFC Doubledown Arrived, Associate Producer Amy Zerba was putting together a slideshow of other fast food items that were sure to add a few inches to the beltline. She needed a photo of this salad from Taco Bell and I was happy to oblige. She went out and bought the item [...]
CNN: $10 Assignment
Last month the iReport team at CNN.com asked me to shoot a quick photo for them to help illustrate a weekend assignment they were doing. The idea was to see what you could buy for $10, so two of the iReport people and I went to the CNN Store and did a quick illustration . [...]
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 [...]
