The Final Photo

Friday, September 25th, 2009

This was the last image I saw through my beloved 24-70mm f/2.8 lens this weekend.

This guy’s leg came flying up and kicked my camera out of my hand.  That’s all I thought he did at first but upon further inspection…

This is why we save money.  The lens is being replaced and we’re back in wide angle action!

Photo Bomb! Perez Hilton

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

We were shooting Meryl and Mike’s wedding photos this afternoon and while we were taking some photos at the WWII Memorial, a girl and a guy started taking photos behind us with the Lincoln Memorial and the wedding party in the background.  Among the blue jean shorts and fanny packed tourists, these two were too fashionable to be one of the “tea baggers” or from the Washington DC area.

Joanna went over and asked if the girl was working on a model portfolio but she told Joanna she was an artist.  After Joanna gave them to directions to the White House, she realized she was talking to Perez Hilton so she asked them if they would jump in the photo as they had become a hit with the wedding party.

Luckily Pedro the pug was with us and gave Perez a big kiss!

Thanks Perez for jumping in the photo!  We hope you’re enjoying DC!

Photos in Omaha World Herald

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

The first day Joanna and I were in Uganda, our friend, Diana, received a call from the Omaha World Herald. They wanted to interview her about the bakery she started last year as part of her project with The Peace Corps.

Diana was asked to send some photos of the bakery and the women who work there. She suggested that I take a few shots when we visited. We had literally been on the ground for only a couple of hours and I was on the phone with a guy in Omaha, Nebraska negotiating photography that would be taken during our trip.

It was crazy and exciting all at once!

The story has been finished for months but has been pushed back a couple times. Finally, today, it was released. You can read it at Omaha.com.

It was so amazing to see Diana with those women.  By opening this bakery, these women with HIV/AIDS have a new outlook on life.  I’ll let one of the women tell her how it’s impacted her:

Everyone Needs a Photograph

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

I wanted to put Help-Portrait on your radar.  It’s a movement started by Jeremy Cowart.

There have been a lot of discussion about this project on Chase Jarvis’ blog.  Jeremy has jumped in the conversation too.  I think it really comes down to this and something I truly believe: “Everyone needs a photograph!”

I’m looking forward to being a part of this and if you’re a photographer, I think you should jump on board with this.

A Washington DC Flickr group has been created.  Be sure to take a photo of you and the person you took photos of on December 12.  Jeremy also said he would love to hear the story too, so post the story along with the picture.  If you have video capability on your camera shoot some video too!
