Darkside Ghost Tour

I photographed the Darkside Ghost Tour of Atlanta for a Three of a Kind photo feature for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Friday, May 18, 2012.  The ghost tour starts at the Ellis Hotel on Peachtree Street in downtown and then takes believers and non-believers alike on a mile and a half trek through the more famous haunts in the city. Tours run throughout the year.
