While home for Thanksgiving, I rode around aimlessly in the country with a friend of mine when we came upon this horse-drawn carriage. I just got lucky that the sun was setting in the background, giving me a beautiful sky to silhouette it against.

I got the chance to hang out with Griffin resident and artist Shannon Lake earlier this week and photograph him while working on a mural on the side of J. Henry’s restaurant . His work can be seen on many buildings in Griffin and Atlanta … it’s safe to say that he’s put his mark on Griffin. The full-time artist started this project in the spring of 2008 and works on it while in-between other projects. Though Lake does oil paintings and portraits, murals comprise most of his work, and are definitely his favorite.
“I love the whole idea of public consumption of art,” he said. “The fact that everybody can see it, and you don’t have to go inside an establishment.”

I’ve been dying to shoot something different, so I took a walk tonight to do just that.Jul 042007
I was going through some old photos and found this one of Kim’s grandfather, whom they call G-G-Pa, that I took last year at Thanksgiving. I’m looking forward to growing old so I can have a license to play golf and fish full-time. Oh yeah, and smoke a cool pipe.Apr 262007
I was driving home from work (all 1/2 mile of it) when I saw this amazing light as the sun set. It was only one of a couple times the sun peered through the clouds today.Mar 282007
I shot this in Bostwick, Ga. (my hometown) last December just before the annual Cotton Gin Festival. Since I never did anything with it, I figured I would at least put it up here to share.Mar 062007
I’m not sure if this picture is misleading, but this flag is about as big as my hand. It was lying on the ground at the cemetery today. I had to go there to take photographs for a story about pauper burials. It seems the number of those burials has increased drastically this year in Spalding County. Tattered flags are more meaningful to me than new ones — they’ve been through more and have a story. I like stories. Oh yeah, this was shot digitally, I just used a fancy script in Photoshop to give it this funky border.Feb 262007
Just like Barbie Beach, I’ve been meaning to stop and shoot this one too, which is also on Hwy. 16. There was just something about this tree on the horizon that attracted me.
