I made it to Paris for the Eurocup finals where France was playing against Portugal. The city was buzzing as fans from both countries represented with their colors and favorite players jerseys. This was not my 1st visit to Paris, more like my 10th, but I still visited the major sites including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Notre Dame. The game was electric and Christian Renaldo went out early and all looks bleak for […]

Read MoreUnedited Photography
I know we live in an age where we can’t function without make-up or making things look more appealing to the eye. Sometimes I just like my raw images just the way they are. I know lot of people that will just take a picture and spend hours editing one single image. Me, I generally won’t spend more than a few minutes editing pictures. If you can get the settings correct while taking the picture […]

Tone and Ty were married recently and wanted to do a post wedding shoot in Atlanta. I scouted a located downtown Atlanta that would be amazing. It was on the helipad of the W Hotel in Atlanta.

Read MoreThat’s My Quarterback: Old Atlanta Says Thank You
The Falcons had a golden opportunity to end the discussion of whether Tom Brady was the GOAT. They had forced him into playing 3 terrible quarters and were on their way to given him 3 super bowl losses. This would have catapulted Matt Ryan into legendary status and killed the GOAT discussion with Tom Shady. The Atlanta Falcons were a few plays away from being 1st time super bowl champions. October was about to become […]

In fact the only one of my teams that have won a championship is the Atlanta Braves during the 90s. It was an unfortunate circumstance that I had to come home during Super Bowl week but I can’t […]

All over the world today people were protesting Donald Trump while he was being inaugurated. I managed to catch some shots in the UK of people protesting. Talking to some of the protesters it was clear that they were unhappy that a bigot, an offender of so many people and someone that ran a racists campaign could be elected as President of the most powerful nation in the world. He is going to make America […]
