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 [...]

Week two of high school football sent me to North Gwinnett in Suwanee.  This week they faced off against Brookwood High School out of Snellville, but the game more or less ended when Brookwood walked on the field.  After years of dominance in the late 90’s and early 00’s, Brookwood is just mediocre these days.
Here [...]

This guy sunk two holes-in-one during one round of golf and then won money in the lottery that night.  Yeah.

Charlie McMenomy sunk two holes-in-one at the Summit Chase golf course recently. The former South Gwinnett High School tight end also won money in the lottery that night.

Last night South Gwinnett played my first high school, Centennial, during the second round of the state tournament.  Apparently Centennial was heavily favored, but South hung in and won after 2 overtimes.
Normally overtime, or close games in general make me nervous because I have to make a decision about which story I am going to [...]

Anyways, over 3,100 people showed up to participate in one of the many races taking place this [...]

Another set of portraits I shot earlier in the basketball season.    This one is of Mario Vasser from South Gwinnett High School in Snellville.

I used extra unsharp mask on this one to create the high contrast affect, the one below the cut ran in the paper.

Stripling Elementary’s Aubrey Carter prepares to buzz in as a question is being read during Saturday’s Gwinnett County Public Schools’ Readers Rally at Shiloh High School. More than 60 schools were represented at the competition.

What else does this remind me of that happened today?
I was driving around looking for a stand alone for tomorrow’s paper thinking about a number of things, then I came across this.

High school basketball tonight at South Gwinnett High School. Both teams are doing pretty well with one loss each, I believe.  Game went to the buzzer and I got some decent stuff out of it.

Meadowcreek’s Charles Johnson (1) jumps into the arms of teammate Jarvis Brown (11) after the team narrowly defeated South Gwinnett at [...]

Earlier in the week I shot a choir at Shiloh High School that will be traveling to DC to be part of the inauguration.  When I got to the class they were already singing so I assumed that that would be the group going.  Turns out it wasn’t, the actually choir that was going practiced [...]
