Georgia Legacy
By Jason Canavaggio

Atlanta, Georgia has been widely known as the home of Coca-Cola Company, since the early 1900s. However, what most people don't know is that Pepsi used to have a bottling factory in Macon (I'm not sure if it still exists, but to my knowledge it no longer does).
Around the house I found a collection of old Coca-Cola and Pepsi bottles that vary in years, but someone thought they'd be something to save for the future. A few of them still have the coke inside them (obviously flat).
I decided to photograph them to show pieces of history that you wouldn't normally find in a text book, because they might not be of such great importance, but they're a bit more personal. They show some of the character around two of Georgia's major cities.
