Truck Fire on I-75 Southbound

April 1, 2014

I came across this truck fire today (about 6 p.m.) on the way home from Atlanta, southbound in Interstate 75, near exit 228 in Stockbridge. There appeared to be no injuries. But what’s crazy is that while firefighters were extinguishing the blaze, something inside the truck exploded like fireworks (see below). The truck was pulling a trailer owned by Ira Higdon grocery stores, based in Cairo, Ga.

Luckily, I was able to get in front of the truck before the blocked off the interstate, I can only imagine how far this backed traffic up. I’m just glad no one was injured. [Read more…] about Truck Fire on I-75 Southbound

Chipper Jones Number Retirement

I cannot believe that 2012 is over! It was wonderful to be a part of, witness, and capture so many cool things. I still have a long way to go in this profession for sure, but I believe I was able to make a couple of decent frames in the past 12 months. My goals for 2013 include trying to learn more from seasoned pros — you know, those folks who seem to produce stellar work on almost a daily basis.

Anyways, below is a selection of what I consider to be my best photos of 2012.

I witnessed both sides of the Chick-fil-A debate this week, photographing the customer appreciation day on Wednesday and kiss in protests on Friday. It was simply amazing to watch a restaurant catapult to the center of the collective American dialogue in such a short amount of time. Below are a collection of photographs from the two events.
