Just in time for Christmas, the men arrived at the camp Dec. 21 to demobilize as part of the last soldiers to leave Iraq. (AP Photo/The Republic, Andrew Laker)
Oct. 14, 2011 – Pretty in pink
I took a picture similar to this last year, but this one might be better. I thought it was neat that the two guys leaping obviously shared their pink breast cancer awareness-themed socks.

I’ve been feeling nostalgic lately about my Holga, so when I got it out and saw it was already loaded, I just had to go out and ruin some film.

I don’t know much about wine making, and I certainly don’t know anything about wine, but I know I love vineyards and grapes. The harvest will begin in a few days, and I hope to go back.

Today by accident I discovered a growing trend called “trash the dress.” I went to a local swimming pool to get the obligatory first-day-of-summer type shot, and a lifeguard told me a bride was going to go down the slide in her dress. So I waited with high hopes. Going through some images I made earlier, I looked up and realized I was surrounded by about a dozen photographers. It was then I learned the stunt was actually a staged affair made for the benefit of a class taught by a wedding photographer. The bride? A model. The dress? Owned by the photographer, and not trashed. Oh well, it still made for a unique shoot, even if it wasn’t that pure photojournalistic find.

I kind of love this building. I think I’ve shot every square inch of it. Twice.
Fatal
Sometimes the crashes I have to cover give me the chills. Interstates in my part of the world = news factories.
Untitled (random sports)
I have a buddy who is mad about presenting his sports photos in black and white. To quote Maude, “Yes, there is definitely an attraction.”

If that dog had jumped, the gun would have lifted and the officer would have shot. I may have gotten too close today.
