Spot News: Plane Crash in Lawrenceville

About an hour before I was going to head out for football I got a call from John Bazemore at the AP asking if I could shoot some spot news for him, since he was over at Talladega in Alabama for the races. Basically, a plane crashed into a house in Lawrenceville and killed the [...]

(CD)See You Later

Yesterday I got a call from the AP asking if I could shoot a last minute press conference at the CDC about H1N1 (Swine Flu).  It was an unexpected, but very pleasant surprise so I packed up my gear and headed over to the facility located on the Emory campus. The thing about press conferences [...]

Zinkhan: The Conclusion

Last night I got a call from the AP asking if I could shoot another press conference about George Zinkhan up in Athens at 9 a.m. today.  Instead of waking up early to battle traffic, I decided to head up immediately and spend the night. Nothing ground breaking was announced at the press conference today.  [...]

George Zinkhan found

Yesterday as Brett and I were driving back to his place from Centennial Olympic Park I got a call from John Bazemore of the Associated Press.  He said that they found a body near where University of Georgia Professor George Zinkhan’s Jeep was found last week and they suspected it was him.  He asked if [...]

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 [...]

Joshua Fields, savior of UGA Baseball

I was asked on Wednesday to shoot a portrait of this UGA baseball player.  I had some ideas for portraits that were more creative, but when it started raining it became more a matter of trying to make sure the equipment I was using didn’t get fried so I went with something more standard. Georgia [...]

Lightning Fast Action

The conversation between myself and my contact at the AP that occurred earlier this week: Mr B.: Hey Josh, can you shoot the Thrashers game on Saturday? Me: Yes, one thing though. Mr. B.: Whats that? Me: Does it matter that I’ve never shot hockey before? Mr. B.: No, not really. And then there I [...]

Gatorbait (Florida vs. Georgia)

Tonight was my final UGA basketball game of the season for The Associated Press.  Given that, I wanted to do it right and knock out everything I felt I’d been lacking over the past few months. If only I’d been able to figure it out faster. First thing I did was be realistic, Georgia didn’t [...]

Gamecocky (South Carolina vs Georgia MBB)

South Carolina came into Georgia today hoping for a repeat of Georgia’s visit to South Carolina the other week. Well, despite being down to seven scholarship players Georgia managed to dominate the Lady Gamecocks. Two more photos here. Georgia’s Albert Jackson grabs his hurt shoulder during the first half of a college men’s basketball game [...]

Georgia vs. the Commie(dores)

Shot the Men’s game against Vanderbilt tonight. I felt like my photos tonight were better than I’ve been doing, so I was pretty happy about that. On the very last image below the cut, I wish Zac Swansey hadn’t been covering his face, because I think it would really make that photo a lot better. [...]
