Agencies & Wire Sevices
	The Associated Press is the backbone of the world's information system serving thousands of daily newspaper, radio, television and online customers with coverage in all media and news in all formats. It is the largest and oldest news organization in the world, serving as a source of news, photos, graphics, audio and video. Stanley worked with Associated Press in the 80s and presently since 2007.

	USPresswire is a wire image service which started out covering only sports for syndication to the editorial media. Today they still cover sports and are slowly starting to cover news events as well. Stanley has been working with USPresswire since 2007.

Black Star RISING	Black Star picture agency and the history of photojournalism have been inseparable from each other for decades. Photojournalists condense "decisive moments" into dramatic and complex symbols. Black Star photographers, like Stanley, have seen themselves in this tradition since the mid-1930s. They travel the globe in order to be present constantly where world events are happening, to tell stories with their pictures, to lend a voice to the silent and oppressed and to capture situations and atmospheres in unique and powerful expressive images. Stanley has been working with Black Star since the mid 80s.

Organizations
	The Atlanta/Southeast chapter of ASMP, the American Society of Media Photographers. We are composed of over 100 photographers in Georgia and Alabama. Our goal is to educate photogaphers, clients and students to the value of photography and the benefits of good business practices. The American Society of Magazine Photographers was founded in 1944 by a handful of the world's leading photographers, and is recognized internationally for its leadership role. ASMP has more than 5000 members in 40 chapters across the USA, and members in 37 foreign countries.

	Today, the Club is located in The Commerce Club building downtown.Journalists from the print, broadcast, and online communities comprise over half of the Press Club’s 800 member roster, making it one of the largest and most dynamic press clubs in the U.S. Editor & Publisher Magazine has described the Atlanta Press Club as “resurgent, a glaring anomaly at a time when press clubs around the country are fading into oblivion, victims of shrinking city press legions and changing journalistic culture.” Stanley has been a member since 2007.

	Editorial Photographers (EP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health and profitability of editorial photography. Our mission is to educate photographers and photography buyers about business issues affecting our industry, and in the process raise the level of business practices in the profession. Stanley has been a member since 2006.

	The National Press Photographers Association was founded in 1946. In the first issue of National Press Photographer (published in Boston, Mass. in April 1946), an editorial on the front page proclaimed, "With this issue is born a voice, one that has been mute much too long." Stanley has been a member since 1985.

	Sports Shooter began in 1998 as an e-mail newsletter. The newsletter originally was passed along to a handful of sports photographers, photojournalists and colleagues as a way to share experiences, insight, concerns and rants about the state of sports photography. Over time, Sports Shooter grew to include more than 7,000 subscribers and countless editorial contributions from professional sports photographers who donated their time and shared their wealth of information. Stanley has been a member since 2003.

	The Dart Center is a global network of journalists, journalism educators and health professionals dedicated to improving media coverage of trauma, conflict and tragedy. The Center also addresses the consequences of such coverage for those working in journalism.

	Christians in Photojournalism is a fellowship for photojournalists. We meet in various locations around Atlanta, throughout the year, to support each other and our work. Stanley was a co-founder and is also the webmaster.
Pro Bono Work
	The Heart Gallery Southeast is a collaborative effort between Gift for a Child, Georgia Department of Family and Children Services, Mississippi Department of Human Services and the Tennessee Department of Children Services. The Heart Gallery Southeast Program is an adoption education and recruitment program of Gift for a Child. The Heart Gallery is designed to raise awareness and educate the community concerning the urgent need for foster and adoptive families in Southeast states, especially boys and girls for whom finding forever families is more difficult: sibling groups, special needs, minority and older children. Professional photographers photograph foster children whose parental rights have terminated for an exhibit designed to recruit prospective adoptive families. Stanley has worked with Heart Gallery of Georgia Since 2006.

	Each month our volunteers transform hospital playrooms, waiting areas and even hallways into photography studios. Talented make-up artists help the children and their moms look and feel their best. Then each child is photographed individually and with their closest supporters - siblings, parents and often a favorite nurse. For a few moments, it doesn't seem like a hospital. Children who haven't wanted to get out of bed are suddenly laughing and smiling. And, nurses take a break from administering medicine to join in the fun. The atmosphere has been compared to a birthday party and Dr Joanne Hilden of The Children's Hospital, The Cleveland Clinic said it makes the teenagers feel like it's prom day! Each family is presented with framed enlargements, proofs and a CD of all the images so they can make additional prints. Thanks to the efforts of hundreds of volunteers, all services are provided free of charge. A Flashes of Hope portrait is much more than a picture on the wall. It's an indescribable treasure that forever preserves the grace, dignity and beauty of each child. Stanley has worked with Flashes of Hope since 2006.

Tony gets called most often to come in early on a project and help with the strategy, concept, and direction of campaigns, but he can help you at any point in the process. Tony has been freelancing since 1998. After starting at J. Walter Thompson in Atlanta and working at several ad agencies and design firms here, my most recent full-time agency job was as Associate Creative Director at Sawyer Riley Compton.

Tony has won awards for everything from a product that prevents foot rot in cattle to flour that makes your biscuits light and fluffy.

	Since 1993 I have been working with this lab. I have tried many others around the country and have found their service to be superior to all the rest. One of my favorite products they offer is their photo books.

	This is the compnay I use for my postcards and business cards.

	I use this software for downloading of my images and browsing.

	I use the Nikon D3, D2X, D100 and F100 cameras.

	The strobes I use for all my lighting.

	The software I use for determining usage fees.

	Farmer Sue is a good friend and our family enjoys going to her farm to visit the animals and her.
