A photographer contacted me sometime last year, saying he wanted to do a series of portraits on 'people who are making a difference.' Little did I know that the portrait he took would end up in the new Soul of Athens.
Some of my pals (and fellow/former VISTAs) are also featured this year in stories about co-op living, community gardening, and courthouse weddings.
Despite the awkward holding-a-telephone-in-a-belltower shot, I must say, being identified as one of the featured "Rural Progressives" and included with a great bunch of awesome folks is pretty cool. The new site is excellent and really captures the many essences of this wonderful community - I'm sure I'll soon be nostalgically perusing its pages from the Philippines to get my Athens fix.
