PHOTOS: Pride Parade 2012
Thousands of people lined the streets of Midtown on Sunday for the 2012 edition of Atlanta's annual Pride parade. Grand Marshals for the parade included a majority gay women's fraternity, Blondie from the Clermont Lounge, and the "the Infamous Camp Drag Queens of the South," the Armorettes. Those marching in the parade and spectators alike brought out rainbow flags and wild attire, all in the sake of pride. Any protest was drowned out by the waves upon waves of support for the gay community in Atlanta.

Atlanta's long wait for bulky, bright-blue bicycles that people can rent by the minute is over.
City officials and residents last week endured stifling heat and cut the ribbon on Relay, Atlanta's bike share program. The program operated by CycleHop launched with 100 two-wheelers placed at 10 racks locations throughout Downtown. The city say 500 bikes will be placed by the end of the year in Midtown, West End, and in east Atlanta neighborhoods. Whether city drivers are educated enough to share the road or Atlanta's still-growing network of bike lanes is ready to handle them, well, we shall see!
After blessings by Mayor Kasim Reed, Chief Bicycle Officer Becky Katz, and Planning Commissioner Tim Keane, the crowd hopped on the three-speed bikes, which came from Long Beach, California, and pedaled around Downtown and South Downtown. It was hot and humid but the jaunt — and subsequent trips around South Downtown — was a reminder that the most enjoyable way to move around the city is on a bike.
The system is straightforward: sign up for an account and plan online, enter your account number and PIN on the bike-mounted computer, and then pedal away. Find available bikes on the online map or via the Relay app. When you're finished riding, lock up the bike at a rack or on the side of the road. (Be sure to read the fine print about fees you can incur if you don't return the bike to a rack. Or the credits you can earn by retrieving two-wheelers left outside the system area.) And if you are one of the nearly 8 percent of Americans who doesn't have a bank account, Katz says, you can pay CycleHop in cash.
More information is available on Relay's website. Or you can just watch the above video produced by CL photographer extraordinaire Eric Cash and featuring a man who is afraid of the sun.

In the shadow of Atlanta's newest and shiniest stadium there is a community. You might not know it because it goes largely unnoticed and unmentioned when talking about Atlanta, as if the city drops off a cliff west of Northside Drive.
Often lumped in with Downtown or completely forgotten, members of the historic westside neighborhoods West End, Castleberry Hill, Vine City, and Washington Park have played a huge role in making Atlanta what it is today. But before the city and Atlanta Falcons decided to build a new stadium and pledged tens of millions of dollars to invest in the area, these communities have been largely overlooked.
With the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday coming up, I tried to explore some of the civil rights leader's thoughts through photographs. What better way to explore King's words than on a street bearing his name just two miles away from his alma mater, Morehouse College. I particularly focused making a photo that pointed to examples of poverty and the wealth gap in this majority-black community.
Across the street from the new (and admittedly stunning) Mercedes-Benz Stadium, one finds empty lots littered with trash, abandoned dorms from when Morris Brown College had enough students to fill them, and homeless Atlantans sleeping in the tunnels of children's playgrounds. The Atlanta Public Schools bus in front of the $1.5 billion stadium was especially striking.
I wonder what those students at Bethune Elementary and Booker T. Washington High, two underperforming schools that are eligible for state takeover and located nearby, are getting from this stadium deal. How will they profit from this behemoth of a project in a way that will improve their lives and their community?
Mayor Kasim Reed and team leaders have promised an economic boost to the community. But how will that help the youth, many of whom will likely be active members of this community for decades? After all, the city has still not made payments to APS related to the Atlanta Beltline. Will this project and the years following it truly revitalize the community? Or simply add $30 million worth of glaze to the neighborhood? And will its residents be forgotten yet again?
In this photo I see visions of progress, future, prosperity, and hope. But for who? I see progress on the stadium but not yet in the neighborhoods surrounding it. I see a future where the roof of this building retracts and expand like a camera lens. But I don't so much of a future for all the businesspeople in this area. I see prosperity for some, but I hope for prosperity for all, even if they're located in the shadow on the "wrong" side of Northside Drive.

In this photo I see visions of progress, future, prosperity, and hope. But for who? I see progress on the stadium but not yet in the neighborhoods surrounding it. I see a future where the roof of this building retracts and expand like a camera lens. But I don't so much of a future for all the businesspeople in this area. I see prosperity for some, but I hope for prosperity for all, even if they're located in the shadow on the "wrong" side of Northside Drive.

In the shadow of Atlanta's newest and shiniest stadium there is a community. You might not know it because it goes largely unnoticed and unmentioned when talking about Atlanta, as if the city drops off a cliff west of Northside Drive.
Often lumped in with Downtown or completely forgotten, members of the historic westside neighborhoods West End, Castleberry Hill, Vine City, and Washington Park have played a huge role in making Atlanta what it is today. But before the city and Atlanta Falcons decided to build a new stadium and pledged tens of millions of dollars to invest in the area, these communities have been largely overlooked.
With the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday coming up, I tried to explore some of the civil rights leader's thoughts through photographs. What better way to explore King's words than on a street bearing his name just two miles away from his alma mater, Morehouse College. I particularly focused making a photo that pointed to examples of poverty and the wealth gap in this majority-black community.
Across the street from the new (and admittedly stunning) Mercedes-Benz Stadium, one finds empty lots littered with trash, abandoned dorms from when Morris Brown College had enough students to fill them, and homeless Atlantans sleeping in the tunnels of children's playgrounds. The Atlanta Public Schools bus in front of the $1.5 billion stadium was especially striking.
I wonder what those students at Bethune Elementary and Booker T. Washington High, two underperforming schools that are eligible for state takeover and located nearby, are getting from this stadium deal. How will they profit from this behemoth of a project in a way that will improve their lives and their community?
Mayor Kasim Reed and team leaders have promised an economic boost to the community. But how will that help the youth, many of whom will likely be active members of this community for decades? After all, the city has still not made payments to APS related to the Atlanta Beltline. Will this project and the years following it truly revitalize the community? Or simply add $30 million worth of glaze to the neighborhood? And will its residents be forgotten yet again?
In this photo I see visions of progress, future, prosperity, and hope. But for who? I see progress on the stadium but not yet in the neighborhoods surrounding it. I see a future where the roof of this building retracts and expand like a camera lens. But I don't so much of a future for all the businesspeople in this area. I see prosperity for some, but I hope for prosperity for all, even if they're located in the shadow on the "wrong" side of Northside Drive.
