Street Photography at the Martin Luther King March with my Fuji X100F

Documentary-photography-MLKing-March-0122.jpg

I finally took the leap and bought a Fuji X100F. I've been shooting with the original X100 for several years now, and have loved the files that come from this lightweight beauty.

But, the original X100 was fairly slow to focus and not very good in low-light. The X100F, in contrast, is quickdraw McGraw when it comes to focus and the bomb at high ISOs.

I bought my X100F used on EBay and am delighted with it, so far.

I took to the streets with it on Monday, January 15th, which is Martin Luther King's actual birthday, and this year, the day of the national holiday. Here in Atlanta every year, folks gather for a march in his memory.

Lots of people, great energy, good light ... a street photographer's dream.

Here are a few images I shot of folks marching, and those watching.

Atlanta Documentary Wedding Photographer

Cindy Brown

I'm an Atlanta wedding photographer who takes soulful, quirky and honest photos ...

I'm also an adventurous traveler and all-round nerd. I love to hike with my beagle/cattle dog Roux and best friend/spouse.

I was born in Atlanta, moved around a lot--30 cities and 5 states--and then came back.

After graduating from the Art Institute of Atlanta, I took a job at asmall newspaper in south Georgia, where I photographedhospital teas, pecan farmers, and beauty queens.

I photographed a biker funeral, death penalty protests andTed Bundy while interning with the Associated Press.

While a photographer for two dailies in Florida, I photographed Ronald Reagan, a train derailment and the dedication of a screened-in porch.

An unexpected life turn took me to Vermont where I fell in love with Bernie Sanders and on to Indiana, where I edited photos for a major daily, and nerded out getting a master’s and PhD.

After teaching photojournalism at colleges and universities in Florida, Indiana and Mississippi, I returned to Atlanta to earn myfifth degree--a Master's of Divinity.

My passion for storytelling with my camera and my interest in religious diversity led my to the field of wedding photojournalism.

I have documented weddings large and small, Unitarian and Pagan, indoors and out, Christian and Muslim, in backyards and in churches. The most exotic wedding I have photographed took place in Mexico and was officiated by aMayan shaman.

When I'm not photographing weddings, portraits or corporate events, I work on personal photo projects, visit friends in amemory-care home, and volunteer at a recovery center.

Documentary Photo Project about the Gwinnett Heat

The Gwinnett Heat basketball team rocks. Last year they advanced to the 2016 wheelchair basketball Georgia state championship game. This year they hope to bring home the first place trophy.

The team practices once a week at Hull Middle School in Duluth.

Here are a few favorites from their first practice.
