Over the last few days I’ve taken a trip over to an old site located in Barrow county, Rockwell Universalist Church. This historic old building was first organized in 1839 as the second oldest universalist church in the state of Georgia.
Its a great spot for some nostalgic/historic images to add to your portfolio or gallery.
I made this trip later in the afternoon with some pretty nice light. Fortunately the caretakers hadn’t cut the grass yet, which allowed me to capture a more rugged and abandoned look.
By the way, watch out for the bee’s that have made a rather large colony in one of the outside walls.

Recently I spent some time interviewing people about their experiences in our economic upheaval here in the States. Some of these people work in industries that were directly impacted by the erosion that many have been experiencing.

This project actually began over a year ago when I had the opportunity to document the gas shortages that had been plaguing the southeast, especially in the Atlanta area. I remember standing in lines that would wrap across an entire Walmart parking lot. Standing in the hot sun and witnessing people fighting over fuel. It was truly something out of a Mad Max future.
What I experienced made me consider what life could be like in the U.S. in the future. How would society change? Or could it adapt to a world with more expensive fuel, or slumping economy that could no longer support the “American way of life.”
Fast-forward about six months. The stock market was in full retreat, and my industry was in full meltdown. Then, at the end of 2008 I became yet another victim of the recessionary fallout. I lost my job, and my ability to maintain my former lifestyle. It was yet another opportunity to not only document what I saw around me, but to really relate to those being affected.

I hope you enjoy the accounts presented here, and thanks to everyone who participated in this project. Please leave comments on what you thought of the video or how the economy has affected you. I’d love to hear from you.
