Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.

I shot Dan Gavin and James Martin, the dudes behind The Burger Coalition, Saturday for press shots. This is one of my favorites from the shoot. Still waiting on the film.

There was only one night game a year. On the 4th of July the whole sky would brighten up with fireworks, giving us just enough light for a game.

On May 1, The Burger Coalition will launch. 

Each month, we're going to open up a form on the site that allows for 5 people to RSVP for a seat at that month's burger spot. The dinner is going to be built around fostering a dialogue amongst folks that may not know each other and creating a network of people that enjoy good food and conversation. We then plan on aggregating thoughts and ideas experienced and sharing them on our site. (and we'll have an ever-growing guestbook of the coolest people in Atlanta)

This project is going to launch concurrently in Birmingham and Atlanta in May. It would be great if you all could help me spread the word. The website is: http://theburgercoalition.com and the twitterererer is: http://twitter.com/burgercoalition (please follow for announcements and such)

coming very soon.

The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
