Black Friday Shopping

Friday, November 29, 2013

I got the chance to miss most of the craziness of Black Friday this year. The biggest shopping day of the entire year falls the day after Thanksgiving and stores all over Atlanta came out with special deals dragging people out of bed at ungodly times in the morning to stand in line and wait for the stores to open. I had the opportunity to go to Lenox Square Mall and Toys R Us off of Cobb Parkway to photograph shoppers as the perused the specials and deals that the retail stores had placed for the busiest shopping day of the year. Although there were a good amount of people up and about I would not say that it was as crazy as in years past.
