So I know what you’re asking, who in the hell starts a Blog heading into 2019? Especially when most people are Vlogging now or using their social media platforms to share their thoughts. I decided to start this Blog mainly for two reasons. Reason one I tend to be long winded and writing my thoughts on a social media platform appear to go (a) unnoticed or (b) ignored because of how long it is. Reason two I don’t know how long social media will be around, but as long as I continue paying for my domain name annually this website and my thoughts, photos, and opinions can last forever.
Perhaps the most popular photo location in Atlanta, Georgia The Jackson Street Bridge 2018
Earlier in 2018 I found a photo book titled “I Shot New York” by Ralph Ginzburg which showcased a documentary style photography of New York City for 365 days. This book along with some others I’ve stumbled upon recently has lead me to wanting to photograph and document Atlanta in a similar fashion. What I see a lot on social media is the beauty of Atlanta.
Popular photos from the Jackson Street Bridge, Krog Street Tunnel, or North Avenue Bridge. But what I feel is missing is the people, the culture, and the changes happening daily. What is Atlanta truly like beyond the beautiful skyline and amazing sunsets?
In a day and age where placing a photo on Instagram with the #Atlanta may lead to shallow comments like “Lit” or the “Flame Emoji” I wish to do something with a little more depth to it. I enjoy photography as an art form, but I wouldn’t consider myself to be a professional photographer looking for hire.
Or someone whose dream is to have prints sold with a massive social media following. Therefore, you won’t find a portfolio, prints for sell, or links to my social media profiles. Simply blogs and photos here.

So here goes my blogging experience heading into 2019 capturing the city in which I live and its surroundings. If you’ve found this blog by mistake or you’re here visiting because I handed you a card after capturing your portrait on the streets, I’m thankful for you taking the time to read these words, share your thoughts, and follow this journey.
