To help raise money for Special Olympics Georgia, around 150 people decided to spend three minutes in Lake Lanier with the water temperature at a chilly 44 degrees. Bring a towel and stay warm.

Inmates at the Gwinnett County Jail received five dogs that were saved from being euthanized and are training them in simple commands to ready them for adoption through a new program called Operation Second Chance. Two inmates share each dog while feeding, training and caring for them. The dogs live with the inmates in their cell.

Last but not least Venice; city of watery romance.

I just returned home from a whirlwind 11 days in Italy. Four cities and two islands with no rest in between. Here are three posts from my adventure!

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.

So a few weeks ago people in different cities all over the world participated in Thrill the World. A tribute to the late King of Pop and a world record holding event over 32,000 people danced simultaneously to Thriller. For the Atlanta area around 30 zombified beings came to Marietta to dance and be…well..zombies.

Gooooooooooo Dawgs

I don’t usually get attached to games but I haven’t been back to Sanford Stadium since graduation. So having been almost a decade, it was a little surreal. I also haven’t really gotten to see a Georgia game in almost 4 years due to living in the northeast. So Saturday I was able to shoot the UGA-South Carolina game and it was loud and amazing.

Last weekend marked the start of the new football season for Gwinnett County. In celebration of this here is a collection of photos from four games on Friday night and Saturday. Long live the Friday Night Lights.
