Just prior to a press conference at Georgia’s Capitol building, journalists and politicians get a chance to communicate with each other, one on one. I photographed this group of eight people from an upper floor, capturing three sets of conversation. The image reveals a workplace functioning on several levels -- a news photographer greets an official with a hearty hand squeeze at left, a man seems to listen carefully to the ideas of the woman at the bottom, and another fellow gestures forcefully during a conversation at right. Waiting on the fringes of these three exchanges, two men stand by themselves, intent on reading the documents in their hands while patiently waiting their turn to converse.
