500 and Counting

May 22, 2011

I’ve been waiting a long time to capture a protest. Forget about apple pie and baseball. It just doesn’t get any more American than picket signs and a megaphone, does it?

Civil War Day

April 17, 2011

Being a photojournalist has its ups and downs like any other job. There are assignments that I don’t particularly enjoy doing. It’s not all happy times. Don’t get me wrong; photographing spelling bees, award winners, and bingo night can be exciting too. Okay, I’m lying. It’s a cool job, but it can be pretty limited [...]
