A Second Shoot in Toccoa

Me and Whitney did a second photoshoot in Toccoa, GA for my recovering abandoned places project since there are so many cool locations. The first two are from the same location as the last set. The rest are shot in Downtown Toccoa. This project is proving to be a lot of fun, really stretching my creativity. Hopefully we can find some spots around melbourne to take photos. Shot with D200 and 50mm f/1.8 unless otherwise noted. Enjoy:

Recovering Abandoned Places

I had a moment of inspiration (its actually the reason I started this blog) to find abandoned areas, places in the shadows of the empire so to speak, and take photos there. To me its something redemptive, reclaiming something forsaken. I couldn't think of a more appropriate spot to start this adventure, this is a place I drove by regularly while I was in school at TFC, and the rain provided the perfect mood. So this is the first in, hopefully, a series of shoots in these locations. Enjoy:

The Beginning...

I've been toying with the idea of creating a blog for a while now, but wasn't sure what I would "blog" about or if anyone would want to read it (still not sure about that one). I'm also at the point where I want my photos to be seen by more than just me, Whitney and a few others. This became more true after I photographed my first event, Kathleen and Spencer's wedding (you can see the book below), which was a lot of fun. So this is the start of my photo blog, hopefully this will inspire me to shoot more often and more creative photos and projects, and find stories worth reading about. Now to those very few who will read this: Thanks.
