  • DULUTH, GA - JAN 24, 2009: Thousands of people crowded into the Gwinnett Center for an evening of energized violence and brutality. The Toughest Cowboy competition had arrived. <br />
<br />
I shot from the rodeo dirt and focused my camera between the ring bars occasionally dodging hyper aggravated animals. I was so close I could hear the animals snort in Pain? Ecstasy? Revenge? Love? Death? I am not sure what they were feeling but they jumped and ran and kicked and screamed like beasts that had just been released from the gates of hell. <br />
<br />
The cowboys themselves were a beaten and tattered bunch. Tough Cowboy Jared Green from Socorro, New Mexico had to drop out of Saturday's competition because of pain in his shoulder. Green's injuries from rodeo competitions have included breaking both of his ankles, two surgeries on his shoulder, a knee operation, broken ribs, a broken hand, concussions and a knocked-out tooth. Green is only 22 years old.<br />
<br />
The whole event seemed to teeter on epic disaster with batshit crazy horses running directly into fences at full speed and cowboys being thrown face first into the ground over and over again inside an arena of 5000 screaming people from the suburbs in cowboy hats and real cowboys from rural Georgia. It was insane, beautiful and chilling.<br />

  • ATLANTA, GA-February 23, 2011: Police are investigating a shooting that took place off Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway. Police on the scene wouldn't comment, but Carlton McCraty, who lives about 15 feet from where the deceased body lay, said he heard two large booms at around 12:30 this afternoon. "I just thought it was people working on their cars," he said. "I'm glad it didn't happen when the school was let out 'cause one of the children could have caught a bullet," added his wife Melissa McCraty. Three children live in the McCraty household.

  • ATLANTA, Georgia - September 21, 2011: A couple members of the crowd held signs that advocated violence. A man who gave his name as Troy Davis holds a sign that reads "Good Cop=Dead Cop".
