Wingate Downs Blog

This is an open invitation to my show at the Hotel Indigo (LEAD certified!) in Athens! In collaboration with artist Mary Engel, who has incredible sculptures of dogs (and other animals), I have images relating to my coverage of Georgia football. I had fun working with my standard journalistic images to create a show unlike any show I've done previously! The opening is Thursday, 9/29/11, from 6:30 to 8:30, but it will be up until the end of December. "Y'all come!"   

This being Easter weekend, I'm not sure how many photographers have actually played the part of Jesus, but I've had that honor more than once! It may have been because of my long hair, my minor in drama at the University of Georgia, or the fact that no one else in Athens,Ga. would do it...but the here is a photo of one of my performances, the photographer being photographed, photojournalism from the other side of the camera! 

Welcome to the personal space behind the business of Wingate Downs Photography…a figurative pulling back of the curtains, to reveal the more personal side of my company. While the medium of blogging is new to me, I’ve always believed in having a strong “private energy” in my photography and in my writing. I’m excited that I have this new opportunity shareimages and writing that is not so work-related. Buried somewhere in the poetry of Bob Dylan is the line that “those not being born are so busy dying”.

My new website is up and we're just doing some tweaks. Please look around but also please be aware that we are still making some updates.
Thank you for visiting the site and we look forward to going live with more updates in the coming days.
