Photobloggers Exposed: Georgia on My Mind

In the heart of the American South, in the sunny state of Georgia, live three remarkable photographers, all with a zeal for photography, each bringing a fresh and distinctive perspective of their lives and worlds to the Internet. 

Images of rural Georgia and quiet Southern life can be found on A Little Piece of the World, the photoblog by Faustina Black.  Faustina’s images evoke feelings of nostalgia for long lazy summers, warm breezes, and long walks.  Her goal is to create an experience, and she succeeds by sharing her experiences with the viewer, not only visually, but also through her eloquent haiku. 

Faustina first became interested in photography in high school while traveling abroad as a student ambassador.  She purchased her first camera, a few books on photography, and completed some photojournalism course work.  Although many of her first images were not very successful, the seed was planted, and years later, grew into what is now a great infatuation with photography.  “I want to expand my photos to everything that I can, where ever I am…” she explains, “…I see great photos in my head, and try to capture the same feel with what I can around me.” 

Photoblogging began for Faustina when she received many positive responses to the images she would post to one of her writing blogs.  This then evolved into a crude photoblog, and eventually developed the beautifully designed site she maintains today.  Her photoblog now serves as both a daily journey through her world, as well as a gallery for her emerging profession. 

With the goal of turning her passion into profit, this lively, twenty-four year old, wife and mother has the vision and drive for a successful career in photography.  Both a literary and visual feast, Faustina’s photoblog is sure to uplift and inspire. 

From the country to the city, we find photographer Sebastian Shuster in Atlanta.  Moody and methodic, Sebastian’s style can be described as thoughtful, inward, and solitary, and his photoblog is appropriately called Sull3n.
