Jane On A Plane

Peepshow
I am a regular poster on a photography forum called PWP. It is an AMAZING group of photographers. I can not tell you how many life long friends I have made from that one single place. In fact, it was a group of PWeePs that started the OneLight Workshop.
One problem with online relationships is that you can quickly make eFriends with folks who live on the other side of globe so it is difficult to meet them in person. Jane Gibbons-Eyre is just such a person. Thanks to folks like Craig Molway and other generous PWeePs, enough money was raised for the "Jane On A Plane" fund. Jane is currently on a 3 or 4 week tour of the United States meeting every single person she can meet from the boards. This is a huge task considering that Jane lives in Perth Australia!
Jane is currently in Atlanta and I had the honor of showing her around town today. She didn't want the polished tourist edition of the ATL. She wanted the nit and grit of real life on the streets of Atlanta so that is exactly what I showed her. We spent the afternoon meandering the streets of Atlanta from Auburn and Edgewood Avenue to Peachtree to Five Points. It was an amazing day of walking, talking, getting acosted, and taking photos all along the way. We met some really amazing people and got to hear some very interesting stories and heard a beautiful song.
Here are some more photos from the day....
Here is Jane talking to some gentlemen who were playing chess in the park...
This is the first person we met. His name is James.
Jane loved the look of the old barber shop. We stopped in and heard some great stories.
Finally, this gentleman could effing sing. It's not right that he's on the streets with the talent he's been given.
Jane is getting her very own OneLight workshop tomorrow. It's going to be an awesome day. She has won us all over with her beauty, charm, and quick wit. Now we are trying to find a way to get her husband and their 4 boys over here to the states. We want to collect the whole set.
Cheers,
Zack
