Atlanta Architecture
I took these images in Atlanta before one of my classes. Most of the images were taken at during my summer semester at Georgia State University in 2009. It really opened my eyes to all the great architecture in Atlanta that I never really thought to look at or pay attention to before. It [...]
Vigil for Neda in Piedmont Park
In the summer of 2009 I had the chance to photograph man protests on Iran and the alleged fixed election. This even was not intended to be a protest but rather a candle light vigil for Neda, the young woman that was murdered on the streets of Iran by the Basiji, the state sanctioned paramilitary [...]
Atlanta Art: Downtown and Georgia State University
Looking back I can honestly say that Atlanta feels like home to me. Okay maybe a home away home. (Chicago. :D ) Anyway I love Atlanta and in the summer I decided to challenge myself by finding time before and after my classes to take some pictures around Atlanta. These are images from one day [...]
Looking Back: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Premier
After our Bridal shoot with Karie Gayle in Little Five Points. Me, Lindsey, Josh Weiss and Emily went to the Harry Potter Premier. Although I was exhausted I had a great time with everyone and got some pretty neat images of that night. I didn’t think the movie was all that great. I was actually [...]
Muffin “The-Cat” Peacock
This is is the lion that Lindsey grew up with. Muffin is what he goes by but if you get it wrong he will be sure to correct you. Muffin is a very talkative cat. He will hold a long conversation with you with continuous banter.
Homelessness, Drug Addiction and Prayer: Looking Back at 2009
Since it was the end of the year I decided to go through my 2009 catalog of images and as I was going through them I began to realize how thankful I should be. Each one has a very compelling story and were instrumental in giving me a better understanding of the homeless issue in [...]
Chipotle and Bo Bo Garden
The days before moving away from Atlanta, Lindsey and I started eating out all the time. We were in a state of panic all the time thinking about all the great food we would miss in the Tundra. Well in hindsight I am very happy with the way we handled it. Sitting here today writing [...]
Safehouse Outreach: The day I first visualized the homelessness problem in Atlanta
For my final journalism course at Georgia State University, I had to create a proposal for a project that would include writing, a multimedia piece and a photo essay. At the start I couldn’t figure what type of issue I want to cover for this project. Then one day hit me, homelessness. If you live [...]
Donovan: The Street Preacher
When I was working on my photojournalism project for school I came across a man named Donovan or at least that is what he told me his name was. He was in Woodruff Park preaching to all the homeless sitting on the tables in the sweltering heat. He was a guitarist and talked about his [...]
Moveout Day: Taco Veloz, Friends, Family and Goodbyes
I decided that since I have been so far behind on my blog postings that I would start posting blogs from events that happen in the past, sometimes it might be the distant past and other times it might be the not-so-distant past. Well today we come to Moveout day. This was the day we [...]
Iran Protest in Atlanta
Last Saturday I went to the CNN center to photograph the Iran Protest. It was hot and humid and the crowd continued to grow every hour. The protest was rather large and for the most part a peaceful one. There were some conflicting views from different people at the protest but for the most part [...]
Lindsey
I was looking through my old pictures and found a few pictures of Lindsey after her first really short hair cut a few months ago. So I thought I would post these up. This picture reminds me of Amelie (The movie) Enjoy!!
Post class pictures
Took a few minutes after class to get a few more urban pictures. It has been a lot of fun taking more pictures everyday. I’ve learned so much just by going out and taking pictures everyday. I can tell it has been helping my photographs as well as my post processing. The Palm bar tap. [...]
Urban Exploration Pt. 1
So I took my camera to class today. Now, granted I always take my camera everywhere I go (the photojournalist in me…) however I usually don’t take the time to snap any pictures before or after class. So today when I had a few minutes after class, I took the time to walk around the [...]
Playing Catch Up: Birthday Dinner
In February, we visited Flip Burger Boutique for Hassan’s birthday. Luckily, our flight attendant friend Emily was in town as well as a few other of our friends who we don’t get to see as much as we’d like. The food was all right, but at least the company was great. :)Here’s some of the [...]
Engagement: Mijha + Runako
Yesterday we had the great pleasure of taking engagement photos of Mijha and Runako, a great couple we met a few months ago. Not only is it obvious that they’re madly in love, but they are such great complements to one another. Mijha is energetic and effervescent while Runako is laid back. Both of them [...]
