Deja Vu

August 27, 2008 in Gwinnett Daily Post, Me, News, Staff | No comments

Really, after I graduated from UGA I never really expected to come face to face with UGA President Michael Adams again, but less than a week into my job there I am again.

I’ve taken photos of him for three different papers at this point, its getting kind of absurd.

Anyways, UGA dedicated their new Gwinnett Campus building today so Adams was on hand for it.

You can read the story here.

A local fund raising group called The Sport of Giving held a ceremony at the Gwinnett Medical Center in Duluth, Ga., yesterday to present a cheque for $200,000 to the hospital’s mammography wing.  There wasn’t much about the event that looked amazing visually so I kind of struggled to find something.  I played around a bit with trying to get the giant cheques in a shot with people (that weren’t posed) but they didn’t work out to well.

I had been introduced to a breast cancer survivor though who had recently been tattooed.  I thought it might make for something a bit different so I went with it.

Carol Ray sports a new breast cancer survivor tattoo on her ankle at The Sport of Giving’s recognition ceremony at the Gwinnett Medical Center in Duluth, Ga.  The group gave $200,000 this year and $1,000,000 since the group was founded in 2001.

Independent learning

There was a story about this tutoring center in Anniston that I shot last week and ran in today’s paper.  The kids were pipe’d in by them so I didn’t want to stage shots so I opted for this portrait with the kids as props basically.

My biggest complaint with the photo is that the lady in the middle put her hand up on the shoulder of the woman in front of her.  I didn’t notice this till it was too late though.  The reason I don’t like it is that with the lens I used, it makes the distance between her and her hand quite unnatural and thus awkward looking.

This also marks my final Anniston Star related post.  I start at The Gwinnett Daily Post on Wednesday.

Edit - Apparently the AP picked up this story for the wire.

Wanda Reid, front, Janice Lee and Alva Willis are responsible for tutoring children at Independent Reading and Counseling Services.

RC you later

The city of Weaver seems like a bit of an anomaly to me.  They are a small town, but they actually invest in the city’s youth.  The town is now home to a skate park, a bmx track and now a RC track.  Rumor is they want to install a rock climbing wall too.

Anyway, they opened up the RC track this weekend so I went to go shoot it for the paper.

A remote controlled car gets some air off of a jump at the new RC track in Weaver which opened Saturday.

This little photographer went to the market (again)

My weekend shifts this summer could be summed up into two things, golf and farmers markets.  I shot each at least 3 times this summer.  I had yet another assignment at the farmers market in Anniston this weekend talking about how there are only 3 left or something.  At least there were chickens this time.
