NFC Championship for the Atlanta Falcons

January 25, 2017

Rise Up! Here are a few frames from my coverage last Sunday of the NFC Championship, between the Atlanta Falcons and the Green Bay Packers. I covered the game for the Falcons, who I’ve worked with for several years on a number of projects.

What made this game special, among many other things, is that it was the last game played in the Georgia Dome. Ever. The Dome, built in 1992, and where countless football games, concerts, and other events have been held, will be demolished this summer. The Falcons will start the 2017 season at the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which is currently being constructed about 100 feet away from the Dome.

ELeague Season One Championship for ESPN

August 15, 2016

A couple of weeks ago, I covered the semifinals and championship of ELeague Season One, held at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, for ESPN. It was the culmination of a 10-week competition that started with 24 teams, all playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. These are all professional teams, complete with sponsorships, coaches, etc. It’s serious business with lots of money on the line. The winners, Virtus.Pro, took home $400k after defeating FNATIC. Above, Robin Ronnquist (flusha), who plays for FNATIC, warms up for the semifinal round against NA’VI. [Read more…] about ELeague Season One Championship for ESPN

Fantastical Sochi

February 18, 2014

Russia is fantasically beautiful to me. Yes, it’s a bit strange, but I like strange (and, to me, if you’re not a little weird, there’s probably something wrong with you). The crazy signs, double toilets, food choices (meat salad has consistently been a buffet offering in my hotel complex, though I haven’t tried it so I can’t report on it), and Riviera Park. It’s all a photographer’s dream. [Read more…] about Fantastical Sochi

Shady Dale Rodeo

June 10, 2013

I grew up pretty close to Shady Dale, Georgia, but I didn’t attend my first Shady Dale Rodeo until I was well into my 20s. It was about 6-7 years ago, when I was working as a photographer for the Griffin Daily News. I was blown away that this had been going on right up the road from me for most of my life and I had yet to attend. I immediately fell in love with rodeos and the people who attend them.

Sunrise Fishing

June 18, 2012

20120618_bass_fishing_1 The Heads Creek Reservoir near Griffin, GA has yielded me a couple of photos (this one, for example). The above photo was taken this past Saturday, June 16, while headed to the Atlanta airport for an early flight. I had noticed the amazing colors in the sky a few minutes earlier, but had no idea that I would find a couple fishing from a jon boat nicely silhouetted against the sky. Luckily, I had my D700 with a 50mm f/1.8 lens attached sitting in the back seat, because you just never know when you’ll spot a cool photo.
