Description I just got this print back today and it was one of the better shots out of the series on this guy. I didn't really get to know this guy well since he was closing up the store and he seemed to be in a bit of a hurry or in some sort of bad mood, at least as far as i can remember (it was about a year ago, so I may be off). This guy (whose name I didn't even get) was working at some sort of antique store that was really interesting to walk through and was moving some of the things he had outside back into the crowded store. This one, more than the others I got, tells more about his character, mainly from his facial expression, his tattoo, and the cigarette in his left hand. Also, in this one, he works better with his environment than in the other ones which were taken from a different perspective, showing another side of the storefront. At the time, I thought the shots I got of him actually moving stuff into the store would be more expressive, but this goes to show you that you don't need to physically see what he was doing so explicitally to get the best feel for the situation. I might put some of those up later, but I'm not sure that I like them enough to put them up. Maybe one of these days...

Keep in mind that the photos from my Athens series were my first attempt at creative photography, so remember that as you comment. If you want to read more about the Athens series, there's some info on it in the descriptions for the previous Athens photos. Check those out, and comment on them as well!

honestly I have to agree with stellarue. I like that sign though my eyes keep drawing to it and the building structure,something about the guy though. hm. You did a great job on the athens shoot though.

i definitely like the colors and the shot itself, but there is something a little raw about it, i dunno if that would be the word but i think i just dont really like the lighting or something in the front ... it seems just plain and everyday which is maybe what you were going for...maybe im just really biased to dramatic emo pics or something...yeah

I love your title for this one - I looked at this before any of the other pictures I haven't seen. "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." Athens is such a cool place...just need to think some more about UGA. But anyways, I like the photo too, but the title is what drew me to it. All the details and colors are very clear and very sharp and I really like that. I could see this running in "Flagpole"...I'm not sure why, but it just fits in with the artsy Athens scene, you know? And I like the contrast between his light hair, light shirt, and the orange arrow and the dark bars and surrounding "ground." Cool stuff.
