When I first saw that there was to be an event on the rooftop of Ponce City Market (recently named Skyline Park), I immediately jumped on the chance to be a part of it. Since the building officially opened I had managed to get just about all of the shots I wanted of the building–except for the roof. I had […]0April 4, 2016

Putt! Putt! Putt!

First of all, this is a BIG album. I started off 2016 with the first public tour of the building, marking the official opening of PCM and start of regular tours for the year. Our trip took us from the parking lot out front, up to the unfinished rooftop attractions, and then down through several floors of offices. All the […]0April 1, 2016

Ponce City Market, Early 2016

In the winter of 2008 I joined a group of photographer/explorers to tour and document the old City Hall East building in Atlanta, GA. It was just purchased by the Morsberger Group and was to set in motion a revitalization of the Old Fourth Ward icon which originally existed as a Sears Roebuck & Co. merchandise warehouse, catalog fulfillment center, and […]0November 23, 2015

Waking a Leviathan

Just before Thanksgiving we took a family vacation up to Asheville, NC to visit the Biltmore Estate for one of their holiday lights tour. This was our first trip to the area, and covered a few scenic stops along the way at various waterfalls. The house itself was spectacular, both in architectural and decorative aspects. On this trip I also […]0November 23, 2015

Asheville-Biltmore, 2015

The official opening of Ponce City Market was bumped out to early 2016, but the food hall officially opened in September of 2015. This was certainly enough to start drawing in the crowds who were curious enough to try some fairly exotic foods and see what had become of the old Sears building. At first only cell phones were allowed, […]0September 13, 2015

Ponce City Market, Fall 2015

I joined up with a group to shoot from the top of the parking deck for the Georgia Tech Hotel. This was a spot listed on a recent AJC article about favorite locations for skyline shots, and so I couldn’t resist the chance to go. On the downside, there were well over 100 other photographers also going which made it […]0February 28, 2015

Skyline from GA Tech Hotel Deck

I confess, as an OTP resident there are some sights I have yet to see within Atlanta. The Millennium Gate Museum at Atlantic Station is one such location I had yet to visit. Obviously that has changed, as I was recently able to view not only the museum itself but go to the very top and view the skyline of […]0January 10, 2015

Skyline from the Millennium Gate

In the fall of 2014, Jamestown Properties should be ready to open the first phase of the largest live/work/play redevelopment since Atlantic Station. The site of Ponce City Market is the old Sears & Roebuck building on Ponce de Leon, aka the old City Hall East. Many of the changes already made include removal of much of the old parking […]0June 3, 2014

Ponce City Market, June 2014

The last time I visited Europe was for a similar work-related conference in the Netherlands. This year I was accepted to the EMEAPUG (Europe, Middle East, Africa Progress Users Group) conference which was held in Manchester, England. I arrived early on a Wednesday morning, so I had some time to walk around the city and snap some photos (of course). […]0November 17, 2012

Manchester, England

Historic Oakland Cemetery has become a favorite place of mine since 2008. My daughter simply knows it as “the park with the statues”, though she does understand that it’s a graveyard. It’s a difficult connotation to shake, but every year they open the doors to both the park and the mausoleums to invite the public in. This is a themed […]0October 7, 2012
