Last week I was able to shoot the Professional Bull Riders’ Challenger Championship at the Gwinnett Arena in Duluth. Nothing but fire, dirt and a little bit of blood between man and beast.

Here are a few assignments from the past month. I’ve covered a church arson fire in Duluth, a Gwinnett Sheriff’s Department K-9 funeral, kids jumping from Settles Bridge in Buford and families trying to get school supplies from the Salvation Army in Lawrenceville to name a few. More to come…

Around 5:40 this morning Gwinnett firefighters responded to a two alarm blaze in downtown Norcross where they found a house over 100 years old fully involved in flames.

And despite the rain, Suwanee opened its new city hall on Saturday.
