It's my last day working at Monroe Evening News. A little sad, a little happy, a little relieved ( Read more... )

I saw Chris Cornell live at Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor yesterday. One of the best live performances I've ever seen. Certainly one of the greatest vocal performances I've ever heard in person. He has such a strong voice. You can see his veins just about to burst out when he screams, which is a lot. It's a wonder how he is able to do that without ( Read more... )

The commute might be tiring but hopefully this other photog, Ben, who lives in Longwood, will carpool ( Read more... )

I got a pretty good shot from the assignment. I guess you have to always try to make the best of the situation. I like the silhouette, but honestly I didn’t see it when I clicked. I just sort of machine gunned it when I saw people walk up to the movie theatre.

My first day working at the Gainesville Sun just happens to be the BCS Championship football game. All the interns have different spots to cover: Danny Ghitis, Celia Tobin, Tim Hussin, Tricia Coyne, Morgan Petroski, Octavian Cantilli, Alexander Cohn, and the standin ( Read more... )

I shot pictures for the Danny Rolling execution today. It was the most emotionally intense event I've ever shot ( Read more... )
