Last time I saw snow like this in Georgia was the 1993 Blizzard. The news said there might be a few inches in the Atlanta metro area. In the end, we saw as much as 12 inches in parts of North Georgia.
There's nothing like having to hunt down images when on assignment. I started the weekend in Marietta and ended on Saturday in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Very grateful to see the Atlanta Journal-Constitution ran a full page of my snow coverage in Sunday's paper.
One of my assignments this week was to find photos that show how cold the weather was. My comfort zone is to head to downtown Atlanta and take photos of people dressed in warm clothing. Instead, I drove around looking for interesting subjects and something slightly out of the box. I love farms, which I'm sure you'll notice when skim through past blog post. I saw a sign for horse stables and couldn't resist. Niki McDonnell, the head instructor at The Stables at Towne Lake, and worker Rebecca Thompson allowed me to hang around as they worked in their horse stables. After spending a few hours at the stabel, I headed to Kennesaw State University to document people walking around campus in the freezing weather.
