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 pilot [...]

As many of you know, there was an abnormal amount of rain on Monday that led to many areas of the region being left under water. While I was not affected, although an area less than 5 miles from my apartment was, I spent the first part of the day inside.
Around 2:30 though, I got [...]

Shot this woman the other day who locates the birth families of adopted children.  She did most of this work at her office so there were no photos of reunited families laying around like I’d hoped, so I decided to use this feature of her apartment that I thought looked nice and made for an [...]

Warm photo feature day.  Some of these are redundant in terms of telling a story, but I don’t really care cause I like the way they look and its my photoblog.
These were all taken at Rhodes Jordan Park in Lawrenceville.

Shortly after I finished editing my snow pictures from this morning I got a call from my boss asking me if I could head up to Gwinnett to snag some photos for our website.
I drove up 85 and then 316 to get to Collins Hill park and was lucky to find a number of people [...]

At the beginning of the month our Publisher/Acting Executive Editor wanted there to be a story about the increase in requests for gun permits since Obama’s election.  A writer and I went to a local gun shop, Bulls-Eye Indoor Range and Gun Shop in Lawrenceville, and did our thing.

Getting this shot with as little light [...]

Earlier this month I posted some photos about a woman who lit her mother on fire which ended up killing her (see here and here).  Today she appeared in court for the first time and I was there to get photos.
It was strange watching her throughout the hearing.  When I met her brother the day [...]

This local high school had their auto collision lab expanded recently so they debuted it to a bunch of guests today.  Neither of the schools I went to had auto shop classes so its still kind of weird when I see them even though I know a lot of schools have them.

A local movie theater was screening all 5 of the nominees for “Best Picture” for this year’s Oscars.  Don’t get me started about sitting in a movie theater for nearly 13 hours, but the people there seemed to enjoy it.  The theater had their employees dress up for the event, hence the pink formal dress [...]
