Atlanta Jazz Festival 2015: Through the eyes of “Jazzy John”
The 38th Atlanta Jazz Festival has come and gone leaving many great sounds and sights, for those of us who were there, to cherish. This year my teenage son John, known usually in these posts as “Jazzy John”, joined me on photographer’s row for the first time. I gave him a few lessons on etiquette and respect in dealing with the older, seasoned, ladies and gentlemen who were also in front of the stage and then I let him do his thing, while I shot some video footage.
As I looked at some of his results, I was impressed with his natural eye and very proud of the work he did as he shot alongside of those three and even four times his age.

As PR Director for the Atlanta Jazz Festival I would like to extend my sincere thanks for the coverage! It was indeed a pleasure to have both you and your son join us at the 38th Annual Atlanta Jazz Festival in the Media Tent. Any event would be lucky to have you on their media list.
