  1. I’m proud to have taken part in National Bike/Walk to School Day on May 8th.  We got kids out of their cars and brought the community out in support.   Thanks to SOPO Bicycle Cooperative, Atlanta Bicycle Coalition, Atlanta Contact Point, and all the volunteers for being involved.  Full bike racks mean healthy kids!

  2. Here are a few images from a test shoot with some trail runners.  The location worked out much better than expected and the light was great.  Think I need to style it up a bit more and try it again.  Thanks to Shelly and Greg for the time. 

  3. I think all men are just big kids at heart.  Seeing big trucks and construction sites makes us all happy and are hard to pass up.  Shooting for the Atlanta BeltLine over the past few years has given me front row access to lots of cool big vehicles and rubble.  It doesn’t get much better than watching a bridge get demo’d right in front of you.  Good bye 107 year old Edgewood Avenue bridge. 

  4. Deborah Hutchinson: artist and a wonderful woman.  Thank you for the time you spent with me. 

  5. Atlanta Police Department’s Mounted Patrol is now visible on the East Side Trail of the Atlanta BeltLine.  I’ve heard there is also someone they are calling the BeltLine Cowboy out here.  I hope to run into him soon.

  6. Another year, another magazine cover.  This is for the January 2013 cover of Atlanta Magazine’s “Top Schools” issue.  Thanks to Stephen, Kate, Kimani, Eric with Atlanta Magazine, and the administration and students at Norcross High School for making a potentially difficult shoot go smoothly.

    Nelms Creekmur built his workshop from reclaimed timbers, doors and windows.  He now makes useable pieces of art from metal using fire and a hammer in that space.  Craftsman.

  8. It’s the time of year for Art on The Atlanta BeltLine.  This year I am fortunate to be one of the contributing artists.  I installed six 2’x3’ images collectively titled “Before the Trail”.  These images were taken in May and June of 2008, well before much had happened along the East Side Trail.  Dedication for this highly anticipated section of trail is October 15.  The BeltLine is happening!

  9. The Krewe of the Grateful Gluttons’ lantern parade could not be contained in a single post.  Here are few more images from the walk.

  10. The Krewe of the Grateful Gluttons put on another outrageous Lantern parade this weekend as a part of Art on the Atlanta BeltLine.  Participation was estimated at over 1200 people with a few hundred spectators spread out along the nearly completed East Side Trail.  This was easily one of the greatest moments in Atlanta for art and community.  Well done Captain Chantelle Rytter and the rest of the Krewe!  Epic doesn’t even come close.
