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.

Road Trip Down South

I've been working on a personal project along with my dad for over a year now.  We are slowly but surely making progress.  We are working on a film about Studio One, the recording studio where "Sweet Home Alabama," 38 Special hit "Hold on Loosely" and many more major southern rock songs were recorded.  

The man behind the sound is Rodney Mills, a Georgia native and legendary producer/engineer who has been making large footprints in the music industry for the last several decades.

We took a road trip to Mills' hometown of Douglas, Georgia to film him mixing a live show at The Martin Centre.  

South Georgia was as southern and as beautiful as I hoped.

On our way to Douglas, Georgia, we made a stop to watch farmers work in the cotton fields.

Business as usual

I've had the opportunity to travel recently for corporate clients.  It's always great to get on a plane or take a long road trip for a job.  This post includes photos from recent trips to Augusta, Georgia, Orange County, California, Indianapolis, Indiana and here in Atlanta for various corporate clients.

A Portrait of Dad

Laura (my wife) and I moved back to Atlanta from New Jersey in spring of 2012.  One of my favorite things about being back down south is hanging with my dad.  I try to take portraits of my dad as often as possible. He always laughs when I grab my camera and ask him to pose.

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.
