How The Instagram Algorithm Works 2021.
Beat the algorithm! Make sure your content is ever so relevant for your followers. We know sometimes that can be hard but the most important question you have to ask yourself is: What is my target audience and what do they want to see? Do you have any other tips you would like to share?

This is the start! I have always said I wanted to start a weekly photography blog of me taking photos. Well, here it is. I originally did not want to post this or even do it, but I kept pushing myself and at least I came up with something.

So, why am I doing this? 1) I want to become more comfortable in front of the camera, and one way to get better is to actually do it. 2) I want to create more videos and improve my storytelling. 3) Be able to look back on these videos on the day, and have random memories.

This day was really rainy and crappy but I had an idea to capture the Mercedes Benz Stadium. My idea came to a crashing halt, as I couldn't find parking, the rain picked up. Feeling defeated I gave up and headed home, where I decided I am going to do what I intended to do. I got out, walked down to Piedmont Park, and just started taking photos. They aren't great, but the moral of the story is just start.

My plans for this Valentine weekend were to hike throughout Georgia. Those plans came to an end due to bad weather. Already in a hotel, I decided to take advantage of it by creating a short film of this boxer dog. It is shot on my Sony A7Riii with the Sigma 24-70 mm 2.8 lens.

Hank Aaron Memorial Service - Truist Stadium. Atlanta, GA. Hank Aaron, the superstar outfielder for the Atlanta Braves, passed away on Jan. 22, 2021. On the day of his passing, I had the opportunity to walk around the Atlanta Braves Stadium, and again during his funeral.

On MLK day I drove down to the Martin Luther King National Memorial. I met Nathan Knight (man with the microphone) who is the president of the DeKalb SCLC. Mr. Knight has dedicated the last 54 years to the cause of civil rights. After speaking to him for about 20 minutes, a motorcycle came up blaring "Stayin' alive" by the Bee Gees. He ran up and shortly called me over and asked me to capture his picture. It was an honor to speak with him and learning about some of the histories that have become sanitized a color-blind to Dr. King’s life and work.

One of my clients had an aircraft hangar that had to be worked on. The epoxy on the slab of a 12,000 sq. ft. airplane hangar in Nashua, NH needed to be replaced. This project was on a tight schedule because the airplanes in the hangar had to be moved and stored in a rented hangar. To get to clean concrete, approximately 1700 pounds of epoxy and concrete were removed. A new epoxy coating could then be applied.

Most photographers will consider at some point whether they should try to sell photography prints. Maybe you’re considering trying to make your first dollar from photography or adding print sales to your existing photography income.  Either way, selling photography prints can be a nice source of income if you put in the work.
