Iron Pouring-Elliott Street Pub, Atlanta
I was watching something the other night on television that reminded me of a photo shoot I did a couple of years ago in downtown Atlanta.
It was an iron pouring next to the Elliott Street Pub – a neat place within easy walking distance of the Georgia Dome, Philips Arena and all the other touristy places downtown.
Anyway, this talented group of iron artists worked their magic with the molten iron. It was even an interactive event where for a few bucks, patrons could make their own molds and have the liquid iron poured in to make your own personal keepsake. Their big finale’ is usually a pour into a block of ice…the best fireworks show you could possibly imagine!
First Richmond Times-Dispatch freelance assignment…2005
“There are some cocker spaniel owners having a meet-and-greet tomorrow at a Pocahontas State Park.”
Well, I went there the next day. It was HOT! I was miserable and I’m sure the dogs felt worse. But, I made the pics, the reporter was great and it made the Sunday paper. And….I got PAID and it led to some other freelance assignments over the next couple of years.
Here’s my take that I sent in.
Warrior-Citizen magazine spreads
Here are some of the Warrior-Citizen magazine spreads that my photographs and stories have appeared in since April 2008 (my first issue that I worked on).
Nothing special, just trying to show a little variety. I’ll add more pages as issues become available.
(NOTE: The opening spreads on the Army Reserve Best Warrior was a collaborative effort between myself and the following Army Reserve Public Affairs Soliders. Sgt. 1st Class Ron Burke, Staff Sgt. Mark Burrell, Sgt. Josh Risner, Pfc. Erica Montano)
Spec advertisements
Attached are a couple of spec advertisements I designed using some racing images I shot a few years ago.
Too bad I never showed them to the people or companies actually pictured in the ads. They might have actually liked them.
Warrior-Citizen Magazine promotional multi-media slideshow
Here’s a multi-media piece I produced for the Army Reserve Warrior-Citizen magazine that was used during a workshop at the Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar Dec. 3, 2010.
The 48-page full color magazine is published four times a year.
And the winner is …
I attended the Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar this weekend (Dec 2-4) along with some of my fellow Army Reserve Civilians and Public Affairs Soldiers.
In addition, I entered the photojournalism contest for the first time. While many of my entries didn’t make the first cut (feature picture story and sports picture story), two of my five military photographs made it to the final with one selected as the winner.
