Photojournalist and multimedia producer in Hotlanta (we don't actually call it that).  Here lie the things that don't make it to print as well as a few that do.  I came for the pizza rolls, but I'll stay for the party.

I love New Year’s. I love any logical beginning or time for change. I love clean slates – or instances that feel like them – and I love moving forward. 

2015 feels like a crazy blur and when I think about how it went, how it felt, it seems pretty personally crummy. It feels like spinning my wheels and not doing or being enough.

 But when I look at my website, the projects I completed, the relationships I’ve built and the list below, my 2015 resolutions, I realize I actually did do the damn thing and I did it pretty well. Truly, aside from tumbling every week and never drinking more than two drinks at a time (sorry mom) I did most all of this. And that feels like a deep exhale. 

Time to chart 2016′s path.

Thomas Lake and I always find something interesting when we drive around for atlantamagazine but it’s especially great when that something involves veterans and fire. Get our full story here.

what she says: i'm fine

what she means: the u.s. women's national soccer team is infinitely better than the u.s. men's national soccer team, and yet the women's team doesn't nearly get as much acknowledgement for not only winning 3 world cups to the men's 0, but winning 4 gold medals in the olympics to the men's 0. they are the nation's true champions and yet do not get the recognition they deserve for being the best soccer team

Why do I spend so much time away from Tumblr when I have so many feelings?

We went to the mountains last week and everything is still fresh and alive and brooding outside the city.

It rained The grass in the yard grew green and unruly It rained Gutters began to overflow, dead leaves remained stubborn and damp It rained My mind turned misty gray, my mood drifts with the weather when you’re away It rained The forecast projects no sunny days

This has been one of my favorite Drunk Poetry Circle submissions. Sigh with me as you read it.

What’s up?  Chicken butt.  *zing!*

I got to go photograph a bunch of chickens at University of Georgia where researchers are attempting to measure chicken happiness by monitoring their clucks. No word yet on how often they cross the road.

Check out the full Wall Street Journal article here.

Follow Dustin for more weird/interesting assignments and maybe even more chicken jokes???

More people should say “You’re great for my art, but terrible for my mental health!” ~out loud~ If you can’t already tell I drank the last of your wine And no, not in sips. But yes, we deserved each other. Okay? Love is taking turns saying sorry.
