A man of many talents, Horace showcases his photographic skills on regular assignments shooting events on the local high school sports scene and at various community events. He currently works with Morris Bank, in retirement from former roles as a technology specialist with both Heart of Georgia RESA and the Wilkinson County School District. He has also served as pastor of Dudley’s New Vision Missionary Baptist Church for more than 20 years.

If there’s anything Janice enjoys more than photography, it’s frequenting Laurens County’s many social and sporting events. She’s been doing both for more than 10 years as a Courier Herald contributor, tasked with capturing the many moments that make life in our community special. The Dudley resident regularly documents local athletic contests and holiday festivities, while always keeping an eye out for unexpected photo opportunities along the way. During summertime, you can usually catch her near the home-plate backstops at Dudley Little League ballfields enjoying a Sno Biz or cinnamon pretzel while shooting the youth baseball and softball action.
