Our time in the USA

31st July 2011 saw the last day of our time living and working in the US.  Throughout this period we photographed (nearly) everything to help us and our children, who had grown up so much during these 4 years, to remember the whole experience.

This 4 minute video capture that time in nearly 1380 days, 900 images - it is quite personal but I make no apologises for that - our journey, our time.

Douglasville Train derailment, January 2011

Douglasville Train derailment, January 2011, a set on Flickr.

We woke up this morning to news of a train derailment in downtown Douglasville
With my New Years resolution of trying to remember to carry my camera everywhere I decided to take a look on my way to work without realising quite how big a mess I would encounter

The images below were shot at around 8am in the morning of the 4th January, decided to return later in the evening to see how the clean-up operation was going. In the evening the police would not allow me access to the trackside - quite understandable really

In March 2008 a friend of mine decided it was time to get that full back tattoo that he had always wanted - you know that one, the British Bulldog riding a very big motorbike.

This process had been going on for several weeks and I had been promising to come along to the tattoo parlour (Big Time Custom Tattoos of Douglasville) and photograph one of the final weeks, so I did and this video captures those somewhat painful moments.
