So tell us about some of your favorite projects you've done.

So one of the projects that I feel really grateful to have worked on is called Homegoing to Remember, and it is about Black funeral traditions.

I shadowed the funerals that were taking place at Willie Watkins' funeral home in the West End of Atlanta.

And Willie Watkins is this renowned funeral director who has done the funerals for so many prestigious people and regular people and is a huge fixture in the community here in Atlanta.

And in the course of my daily work at the AJC, I had heard his name several times just kind of out in the community when I've been photographing funerals or at other events.

You know, I thought that maybe we could do a story about him, a visual story about him, because we've written about him in the past.

I had about three months to work on that before February and just kind of document the really intricate and special ceremonies that the funeral home would put on for people.

Why?
