How Much Time do you Have?

This is an awesome glimpse at the extremely short amount of time photographers sometimes have to make a picture. NYT photographer Stephen Crowley had about 30 seconds to photograph in the oval office during a "pool spray"

Check it out HERE, it's pretty cool.

Too Many Friends on Facebook

Haha, I found this on one of my blogs it's interesting.

January 27, 2009

Tonight was the Tully Center for Free Speech Award ceremony and I had the ultimate privilege of not only attending the event, but the meet and greet and small dinner for the award recipients. I met terrific people and learned about the current situation in Zimbabwe. Thanks to the recommendation of my professor Jon Glass (thank you so much professor for the opportunity), I had the honor of creating a multimedia piece about one of the award winners, NYT reporter Barry Bearak, who was unable to attend the event. That alone was enlightening, a privilege, and a pleasure to produce his story. Working with Barbara Fought (Thank you Mrs. Fought for trusting me with such an important piece) and the rest of the Tully Center is also something I'm greatly thankful for. It was an outstanding experience and I'll cherish it forever. There isn't much that can wipe the smile off of my face right now. :-) 

OH! and tomorrow... is my first day teaching photography at a local community college here in Syracuse. Talk about exciting!! And nerve racking! I can't WAIT to get back in the darkroom and inspire some young (younger than me) photographers. woo hoo!

Inauguration 2009 more

Her are more of my photographs from the 2009 Presidential inauguration (which I'm still recovering from!). It was an amazing experience.I decided to tone these for my blog in black and white. View more images (and these ones in color) on my photoshelter site HERE!












4 AM...

Inauguration 2009

Well, today was an absolutely amazing day. To back up a little, my trip started Monday morning at 2:00 AM. I drove through the morning and arrived in DC at 9:00 AM. I took an hour nap, got lost on the metro, went to bed at 1:00 AM and woke up at 3:00 AM Tuesday, January 20, 2009 for the inauguration of our new president, Barack Obama. I stood outside until about 1:30 PM and the freezing cold. However, it was so worth it. Not photographically, but personally and historically.... okay photographically too. :-) 

My lens is broken, so the quality of the images aren't the best that they should be.  I have so many more images to post, but I just wanted to get one on here as soon as i could. SO, what's next on the agenda? Almost time to drive back to Syracuse, NY for class in the morning. Oh dear... 

fajita night

Tonight I had friends over for dinner. We all had some interesting stories to tell and a lot of laughs.
