Time and Place: Dedicated
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009
I took this picture Nov. 16 as I was walking down Luckie Street. This group of people were outside the Tabernacle and they were there to see Monday’s AFI (A Fire Inside) show. I spoke with Katie Cannon, 20, (far right on steps) about her experience.
“The show started at 8:00 p.m. We got there at 8:30 a.m. so that we could be the first people inside. We had just come from their concert in Myrtle Beach the night before. We drove it straight through to Atlanta. We started in Greenville, SC where I live, we left there at 4 a.m. on Sunday morning and drove straight through to Myrtle Beach for their show there Sunday night. It was amazing! After the show in Myrtle Beach, S.C., we drove all night directly to the Tabernacle. We got there at 8:30 a.m. and started waiting in line for the 8:00 p.m. show,” said Cannon.

Time and Place: Chomping
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009
Mmm, doesn’t that look appetizing? As the man next to me so eloquently put it, “It looks like a bucket of dog shit, doesn’t it?” But it sure tasted excellent. This chili was being served up by the Vortex at the Chomp and Stomp chili cook-off in Cabbagetown Nov. 7. Having such a gigantic pot of chili meant that toward the end of the day the crowds were lining up at their booth.
It was fun photographing chili because it looks so disgusting, especially with direct flash, and in a giant metal pot, with chunks and brown stains lining the sides. Interestingly, despite being horrible to look at, chili is, as we all know, completely delicious. Other teams at the cook-off got quite creative with their chili naming. There was CILF (Chili I’d Like to Fork), Chilibrex (the prescription cure for headaches, backaches, and bad haircuts), Chef Boy-Ar-V, Whitey’s Mighty Chicken Chili, and the chili that was “as delicious as it is blasphemous,” the Pope-in Hot Chili.
Check out all the other delicious/disgusting photos from Chomp and Stomp.

Time and Place: To have and to hold
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009
Photographing this event was more intense than I expected. There were about 30 couples huddled under the Piedmont Park pavilion on a rainy Halloween night. I was in the very middle of the crowd during the vows, trying to get as many angles of as many couples as possible. Before I started shooting, I wanted to watch these couples. They looked into each other’s happy, watery eyes like there wasn’t a soul for miles. They were all absolutely in love with each other.
See more photos of happy couples and other images from Pride 2009.

Photo of the Day: Commitment
Sunday, November 1st, 2009
One of the Atlanta Pride Festival’s sweeter traditions is the commitment ceremony. This year’s event took place in the Piedmont Park pavilion and was open to the public. For $25, couples could register to be “committed” to each other. Both a priest and a rabbi oversaw the ceremony as everyone said their vows at once, huddled under the pavilion away from the rain. Then all the couples kissed to make it official.
