Description
It was while living in Atlanta that I truly got interested in capturing the world around me with a camera. My first love has always been picturing the places I travel, but in those formative years, it was clear, I had to learn to appreciate the places nearby.
This was also when it occurred to me that Atlanta must surely have iconic places of its own, places that tourists visit and places that locals think of when they think of home. That's when I set about trying to capture those local landmarks, those Atlanta Icons.
There was never any question that the Varsity belonged on that list. After all, I had a meal there while visiting with friends well before I moved to Atlanta. It was clearly a landmark and not just to the Georgia Tech crowd who meet there on game days.
My only Varsity entry in that landmark series is this one, which also won an award in a local Atlanta photo competition. This picture of that well known restaurant was judged to be best use of color in the My Atlanta photo competition back in 2006. That was a wonderful early dose of confidence in my craft!
