Conyers Animal Hospital

Thanks for stopping in...long time, no blog. I recently got a job in March working at the weekly DeKalb Neighbor newspaper in Atlanta, covering the Decatur, Chamblee, St. Mountain and Dunwoody areas. We cover DeKalb County most of the week and Rockdale County once a week. Last week in Rockdale, I photographed inside the Conyers Animal Hospital to capture some of the everyday happenings in the veterinary world and one of my first subjects....


...wanted to check out my camera. Veterinary Tech Jess Kellam combs Simon to calm him after a shot.


Amanda Johnson is greeted by Simon as Vet Tech Jess Kellam (center) combs his fur and Vet Tech Heather Hasty looks on in one of the hospital rooms.


Jess Kellam comforts American bulldog Dye as Heather Hasty shaves Dye's stomach for an ultrasound.


Dr. J. Gaines White examines the ultrasound monitor as Dye is held by veterinary technicians Jess Kellam(front) and Heather Hasty.


Dr. Jessica Kidd examines the ultrasound reading as Dr. J. Gaines White moves the device around to locate internal organs.

I get to see the coolest things man!..

ANDD.....


.....the coolest cat faces, haha. Thanks for checking em' out! More photos to come soon! -T.

New GT Football Coach Photo Shoot - Atlanta, Ga.

Out of college and in the field! From UGA to GT, huh? This past week I traveled to the Georgia Tech campus with Atlanta photojournalist Michael A. Schwarz. I assisted Michael as he photographed the new Georgia Tech head football coach Paul Johnson on the practice field for candid coaching shots and in Bobby Dodd Stadium for posed portraits.


Michael and I scouted out the field before the shoot to find good angles


We used the gold stadium seating for the setting of a coach portrait


We also used a portable wireless flash to light the portraits near the end zone


Grass of Bobby Dodd stadium



Maybe i just don't get it... is it me or did that generous guy who donated the bathroom maybe stay in college a few extra years? -Tyler
