Viva la France

VIVA LA FRANCE! I’m excited to have my image from an Atlanta Magazine assignment find new life on Ulyces, a new French digital publisher of narrative journalism. Author Charles Bethea’s piece on Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s Director Vernon Keenan sounds even more impressive with a French accent.

Just another day hanging out with a hard rock drumming god in his house. And Brann Dailor of Mastodon is practically a neighbor. With a massive collection of eclectic artwork that rivals his own ink and an awesome Dalmation named Thriller, the highlight of the day was the incredible jam session. Thanks to Drum! Magazine for a great day.

Snowmageddon , Clusterflake, or Hothlanta 2014 has come and gone.  As people try to resume where they left off, some fun was had.  Nothing can beat the feeling of watching a 6 year old roar down a snowy hill on vintage Flexible Flyer!

CEO Phil Kent stepping down

by chris@christophertmartin.comArchivePosted on Comments are Disabled
Turner Broadcasting CEO Phil Kent is stepping down at the beginning of 2014.  I first met Phil in 2009 when I stood on his boardroom table at CNN Center on assignment for Business Week magazine.  I have seen and photographed him multiple times over the years as he is on the Board of Directors for the Atlanta BeltLine.  He still gives me a hard time for climbing all over the table.  Best of luck Phil.
