Credentialed: ESPN The Magazine’s ONE DAY | ONE GAME
ONE DAY | ONE GAME is ESPN The Mag’s way to try to capture 360 degrees of a sporting event using a fleet of photographers, writers, researchers and editors. I was lucky enough to squeeze my way onto that roster thanks to Jim at ESPN and found myself in Miami for a January 29, 2012 matchup between the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat. (They previously did this for a Houston… Read More

Portraits of a Restaurateur
One of my favorite spots to eat in Atlanta is Sheik Burritos and Kabobs (we usually make a weekly trip there for carryout). The foods fresh, tasty and organic AND it’s a fusion of TexMex and Persian-style kabobs. Delicious food aside, recently had a chance to do a portrait shoot with the owner – Jahan. So my faithful friend and assistant (Daniel Shirey) and I hopped… Read More

InPrint: Daily Dose of Creative Inspiration?
Part of my morning ritual is guzzling down a second cup of coffee and going through a large number of photography, video, design and advertising sites. I consider this routine a necessity in my line of work. I’ll always start with Sports Illustrated’s Snapshot App on Google Chrome (which inspired this blog post), but I’ll work my way through about 20? 30? Maybe 50… Read More

CREDENTIALED: The Madness of John Gilchrist
This is part three of an on-going series titled “CREDENTIALED.” Over the last decade I’ve been saving every credential from the various events I’ve covered. There are over 450 credentials stowed in my office. Some are small, some are large, some are media vests, others are as nondescript as an orange slip that says PHOTO. Some come from county fairs and others from Presidential inaugurations. More importantly, they’re… Read More

InPrint: 2011 Braves
A quick look back at tearsheets of shoots I did for ESPN the Magazine and Sports Illustrated. As a sports photographer those are definitely the mecca as far as getting published, so I’m very lucky to have the opportunity to do some work for them. Thanks to some awesome editors in Nate Gordon and Jim Colton at SI and Jim Surber and Stephanie Weed at ESPN the Magazine. Enjoy!

Archive: MLK 40 Years Later
With the unveiling of the National Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington, D.C. set for October 16, I’ve been thinking about the most memorable portrait photography project I worked on at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, which in the end yielded a non-portrait photo that has proved to be one of my favorite images.
Almost 40 years to the day after the tragic assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. I hopped… Read More
Bobby Cox Photo Mosaic
As a sports photographer and, more specifically, the team photographer for the Atlanta Braves – one of the great challenges of my job is giving a fresh look at something. For Bobby Cox’s retirement ceremony on August 12, 2011 – I wanted to really do something unique. Bobby, for the brief time I was able to interact with him, is everything that you’ve ever heard about him. He’s gracious, friendly… Read More
