@stevewestphoto has transitioned from desk jockey to creative director to becoming a well-known jewelry creator (@stevewest ) & leading portrait photographer in Atlanta. Unapologetic in his pursuits, Steve is always movin & shakin while utilizing his connections to catapult him into his next body of work. His latest portrait project of some Atlanta’s finest folks captured in @oaklandcemetery is fresh of the presses, bound and ready for your viewing pleasure. I enjoy how he sees light.

We shook down Edgewood before it was Edgewood. If you’re deep into the Atlanta scene and don’t know @chillyolovesyou, you’re not. Since ‘94, Omar keeps the kids inspired, mentors them through bmx, music and art culture while throwing parties to celebrate creators. The man stays humble and teaches his daughters that all the doors are open to them. If you see him on his bike or his stickered up pick up truck, raise him up. #raiseyourbrotherup #chillyo #nophonesonthedancefloor (at Freedom Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJL2AdDJylX/?igshid=1cr2zz1vmii4b

Life was very different for a young Egyptian boy in 1954 and so much has changed since then. Aside from the technological hurdles as an student of engineering, raising a family in a different country with open ideals while maintaining some semblance of cultural traditions and religion isn’t easy. I didn’t appreciate it then but each day I recognize his dedication to our family more and more. His perseverance rewards his patience. Know I love and appreciate you more everyday, @tareq54. Glad to spend another bday weekend with you. Happy Birthday, pop. Here’s to 100 more ;) (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJGpAYzpyWE/?igshid=1txmxtcdx9hg7

We’ve all felt it. These past 4 years have been one hurdle after the next. Whether it’s divisive grandiloquence from the man in the big White House, juggling new business decisions, family issues or personal battles it’s been a rollercoaster. Some people did not make through the years. At the hands of covid or their own, some did not. I’m glad you made it. We are fortunate to have been dragged through the muck, admonished by a fine patina unique to our experiences. Sowed relationships indelibly rooted in darker times. Next year might not change us but we will change next year and the years to come. (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CI0kTXYJEbl/?igshid=7jgw30rb4gpl

CANVAS Offering a limited run on 17” x 22” canvas prints on selected images. One of my favorite images of Cairo. Green space in the foreground while the pyramids lay nestled within the cityscape during sunset. (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIQjHj_p9wq/?igshid=1vowdm186tvwb

ART FOR SALE The simplest things bring the most joy. Art in the home is a one of those delicate luxuries that can make you feel something at a glance. This image has always brought me peace. I hope it can for you, too. I will be printing a limited number of these pieces on paper and canvas, available now on my website. Link in bio. I’ll be adding more pieces throughout the week.

Yesterday was D. O. P. E. The Biden/ Harris ticket isn’t the best America has but is better than what we had. I put my criticisms aside for a day and felt overwhelmed with the amount of love, joy and relief that washed across this nation in a moment. I sat on my back porch, in tears, listening to celebratory speeches, laughter and a while a city sighed Yesterday was D. O. P. E. The Biden/ Harris ticket isn’t the best America has but is better than what we had. I put my criticisms aside for a day and felt overwhelmed with the amount of love, joy and relief that washed across this nation in a moment. I sat on my back porch, in tears, listening to celebratory speeches, laughter and passerby’s honking their horns while a city exhaled an enormous breath of relief in unison. Yesterday, was a successful incremental step in moving towards MLK Jrs Dream. The larger steps are at our front doors. Securing runoffs and supporting our neighbors at home and around the world regardless of color, race or income. The fight continues. Thank you @staceyabrams for being an exemplary American and leading our country to victory. The world is watching. We are proud to wave our flags again.

This guy was there, too ... @tonyhawk rode his signature wood laminate skateboard displays Hawk’s Birdhouse logo designed by Vernon Cortlandt Johnson that Hawk used in competitions in the mid-1980s. An archaic lapper band is attached to the rear truck and was used in 1980s vert skating to make the transition to the half pipe rail smoother. Tony donated the board to the @smithsonian at the "Quicksilver All '80's Vert Challenge at @surfexpo in 2011.

I was cooking @teppista_atl foods to some older punk songs last night. The chef, Rudy, is a hardcore, punk-rocker from way back and a passionate cyclist til now. Anyway, the music took me back to when I was shooting @surfexpo x @quicksilver_surf’s All 80’s, All Day Vert Cahallenge. Coincidentally, last week was @christianhosoi’s birthday. So here are some rad photos I saved before my drive crashed 🔥Happy belated birthday, Christian🔥 (at Orlando convention center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGRrobwJeZs/?igshid=1cjgkyw9njvwo

With a bathroom like this, you’d be inspired to take a bath, too. Set aside some time to care for yourself and rest your body. It’s never to early in the week to treat yo’self ;) (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGAwN3xJPIZ/?igshid=1w71upc7yi5td

Sometimes we compartmentalize our thoughts and emotions, like our homes, to be more efficient in our day to day lives. Those compartments can get full. Be sure you put a little extra care, clear out the old. Make more room for fresher more flavorful and fantastic things.
