Eli’s Final Studio Session
Meet Eli- a 17 year old Dalmatian mix. He was my roommates companion. I took these pictures right before Eli went to the vet for his final nap. He was having some health issues and it was time.
I consider it an honor to have such a handsome and distinguished gentleman pose for my camera.
Peanut Butter Oreos
I just found out that Peanut Butter Oreos are SO much better than regular Oreos! They just so happened to be the first subject of my new home photography studio. I’ll probably be posting more studio photography over the next few months as I work to expand my studio skills.
Some delicious salmon
My girlfriend is an excellent cook and sometimes I’ll snap a few pics of her awesome cooking. Here’s a shot of some salmon with orzo, tomatos, onions, and capers.
The 2011 Peachtree Road Race
For those not in Atlanta, the Great Peachtree Road Race is the largest 10k in the country, with 60,000 runners racing down the spine of Atlanta and winding up in Beautiful Piedmont Park. I live 2 blocks from the finish line, so I wandered down there with @jenamiller and snapped a few shots as the runners raced by. It was inspiring to see everyone running and perhaps I’ll finally get the motivation to do my first 5k this fall!
Here are a few that I liked! (We handed the camera back and forth a lot, so I’m not 100% sure who took these!)
Couldn't wait to crack a beer!
This guy is crazy! Temperatures were in the high 80s!
This awesome one was definitely shot by @jenamiller
Drew Hawkins Headshots
I met @drewhawkins on twitter while he was living in Chicago, right before he landed at a job at Engauge, here in Atlanta. So once he got settled in we grabbed some starbucks and had some good chats revolving around social media and it’s place in marketing. He has a great blog called Brain Wads full of original thinking and insightful commentary (he even did a blog post about our photoshoot!)
Anyway, a few weeks ago I shot some headshots for him and below are a few selects!
Drew doesn’t like this one, and it isn’t great for a headshot, but I do like it! 
a few random photos from Salt Lake City 2008
Three years ago this month (summer of 2008), my little brother got married in Salt Lake City, UT and I flew out for the wedding from Maine. It was a rather epic journey to get there and I actually missed the wedding. The whole story can be found here (Epic Journey to Salt Lake City).
Anyway, I was digging back through some old photos and came across the photos from that trip. I found a few I liked that I didn’t post back then.
Reflection of Salt Lake Temple
Inside the Tabernacle, --Among the many unique features of the tabernacle are its incredible acoustics, the ceiling is made of plaster and steamed, wooden planks lashed together with rawhide thongs, and wooden pegs which amplify the sound throughout the whole building. The Tabernacle is home to an 11,623 brass pipe organ as well as the world-renowned Mormon Tabernacle Choir.--
an amusing act of graffiti, (not by me)

Yeah! Burger and Farm Burger
I’m trying to carry my camera around more often and had it with me as I ate at both Yeah! Burger and Farm Burger here in Atlanta. Both places emphasize natural organic ingredients and both are excellent places to grab a delicious burger. I don’t view this as a competition because I think we are lucky to have them both!
Yeah! Burger: “Our burgers and sandwiches are made in house with natural and organic ingredients and are free of antibiotics,
growth hormones, synthetic pesticides and herbicides, chemical fertilizers, ammonia and other nasty additives. All
of our food is cooked-to-order, so please be patient. No pre-cooking or microwaves here – now that’s ‘Keepin’ It Real’!”
Farm Burger: “Farm Burger wants you to think about your burger – what it is and where it’s from. Our burgers are made from 100% grassfed beef that is dry-aged for two weeks and ground fresh. Our cows are raised on the sweet grasses of the southeast, and never fed antibiotics, hormones, or grain. Our menu is seasonal and sourced from local farms. Our space is convivial and comfortable – because eating is a celebration to be shared. Our food makes ethical eating easy.”
For those in Atlanta: which do you think is better?
Catch them on twitter: @YeahBurger and @FarmBurger
Beer Photoshoot at Turner Field
Got the chance to help Charleston photographer Brennan Wesley on a photoshoot at Turner Field today. Great photographer, great guy, and great gig. We knocked out 15 portraits each with a different location (all within the complex) and then shot tons of ambient stuff for Atlanta Beverage Company. They were having their second annual tradeshow, which means there was tons of free beer everywhere for the drinking… Here are a few behind the scenes cell phone shots.
LessConf 2011
I had the pleasure of attending the amazing Less Conference 2011, here in Atlanta. Thanks to Allan Branch and Steven Bristol I was able to document the event with photographs. I could write about the conference itself, but there’s an awesome write up already written by Rob Warner: “Why I’ll Never Miss Lessconf”
Click here for a gallery I set up using dropbox if you want to see all of them! (Gallery will expire June 5th, 2011)
Here are a few selects from the hundreds that I shot.
Hiten Shah, Co-founder of KissMetrics.com
Jeff Lawson, CEO and Co-founder of Twilio
Tom Rossi, Partner at The Molehill
Lots of good schwag!
Headshots for Michael Cheek
I like shooting people. So when Michael Cheek asked me if I could do a headshot for him, I said of course! He mostly wanted an updated shot for various social media avatars so we tried a few different things and these two are my favorites, a serious one and a fun one!
You can check out my headshots gallery here: Headshots
