Over the Thanksgiving weekend, I took a trip with Marjan out to Mount Davidson-Arabia in Lithonia, GA to enjoy the gorgeous weather. The clouds were perfect for photographs! The view from the top of the mountain was amazing too. I was really happy with these photos – the contrast of the lively, energetic clouds with the barren granite mountain turned out really nicely.
This past weekend, I visited the local Confederate Cemetery near Marietta Square late at night with my friend Matt Barnett and we both made our first attempt at long exposure light painting photography. I think we were both really thrilled with the results. We tried several different techniques, ranging from painting our subjects with colored lights creating a dreamlike, surreal effect, to painting the subject with a more natural white light and using colored lights to create interesting background effects. Our exposure times ranged from 15 seconds to 30 seconds, as there was enough ambient lights from the surrounding city and street lights to allow for shorter exposures. An interesting thing to point out is that in several of our shots, we actually would walk through the exposures to adjust the lighting, without being captured in the final image. I had a ton of fun with it, and am looking forward to trying it again soon!

I recently bought a Canon EOS-20D from my friend Matt Barnett and took a trip to Roswell Mill with him to test it out. Here’s a couple of shots that I took. Roswell Mill really is one of my favorite places. I love it!
Here’s a few shots from my recent photoshoot with Matt Barnett of the old industrial ruins at Sope Creek in Marietta, GA. In the 1800′s, this mile-long strip of land alongside the creek included a paper mill, twine plant and flour mill. During the Civil War, these buildings were used for the production of Confederate money, and were subsequently destroyed by the Union Army.
I’ve recently been photographing a lot of nature trails, specifically shooting various mosses, lichens, and fungi. I think these often overlooked plants are absolutely beautiful, and their stunning colors, shapes, sizes and textures never cease to amaze me. Here are some of my recent shots.
