U.S. Rep. John Lewis

U.S. Rep. John Lewis helped pack meals with over 5,000 other volunteers at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. After giving a speech to volunteers, he met with media to give interviews. This is when I get to hunt for images. Surrounded by cameras, microphones and one light on him, I crawled around looking for the best angle with the best light.

Portrait of Cherry Glover - On assignment for Atlanta Journal-Constitution

She didn't stop smiling the whole time I was with her.  Yet, her story rips your heart out of your chest.  She has a developmental disability that prevents her from living a normal life.  She has four children, but currently has custody of one, her 7-year-old daughter, Asia Glover.  Read her story at AJC's website.

Cherry Glover, who has a developmental disability, said All About Developmental Disabilities has been a big part of her life. “They really feel like a family to me, because I never had that,” said Glover, shown in her Atlanta home. “And they’ve really been there to help me just grow and learn, and I never fail … because they’ve been there for me. They have my back.” Branden Camp for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Cherry Glover, who has a developmental disability, lays her head on her daughter, Asia Glover, 7, in hopes of getting her to smile at their Atlanta home as they pose for a portrait. Glover and her four kids are one of more than 100 families in metro Atlanta that will be helped by All About Developmental Disabilities’ Adopt-a-Family program this year.

Besides helping Glover with “life skills training” and tracking her progress, Walker assisted Glover in compiling her family’s wish list for the Adopt-a-Family program.

2016 Election Day Coverage

I woke up ready to document what would end up being a very historic and unexpected election day.  I started my day in suburban Silver Creek, Georgia and ended in Buckhead at a very jubilant Republican watch party.  I started my day around 11 AM and ended well after midnight. Though exhausted, I'm grateful for a job where I can document history.

Atlanta Protest in response to police shootings

As tensions rose again following recent police shootings of unarmed black men, I covered Atlanta's reaction for The Associated Press.  Demonstrators gathered at the Center for Civil and Human Rights and then marched in the streets of Atlanta following the police shooting deaths of Terence Crutcher in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Keith Lamont Scott in Charlotte, North Carolina.
