Wood & Steel
I went to a violin shop it St. Louis to work on a video project. While I was there, I shot the most cliche frame.
And I don’t care. Stay tuned for the final piece…
Well, I feel dumb.
It just occurred to me as to why no one was commenting on my posts. Well, it’s because you couldn’t…unless you registered.
That’s just frickin’ lame…
So I changed it. So comment. Really. Tell me what you like. Tell me what you hate.
But please, just tell me. Because now we’ll all know how you feel.
Done, and done
Ugh. My hands hurt from all that typing, my eyes hurt from looking at my computer for so long…
But, I finished redesigning my site, and added a few stories and some more pictures in there, including some from Seattle, Maryland, and right here in good ol’ Columbia.
Check it out and let me know what you [...]
Don’t be confused…

New Web site
After long hours in front of my computer screen, I finally finished my new portfolio site.
Comments are always welcome.

Let me know what you think of it.
Photojournalist fired
Patrick Schneider of the Charlotte (N.C.) Observer was fired today for altering a photo of a fireman. Only the photo wasn’t faked, it was altered in Photoshop to correct the color and it seems that some think Mr. Schneider went too far.
It isn’t his first time that he has dodged and burned a bit to [...]
Train to the North
Check out this audio slideshow by photographer Jacquelyn Martin about Central American migrants and the challenges they face as they head north through Mexico, and eventually to the United States.
These migrants aren’t walking, though. They’re jumping aboard freight trains to get to their destination, which adds a whole new level of danger to their journey.
The News
Reader beware: I’m going to go on a philosophical rant.
Ok, with that said, I really think that we, as journalists, sometimes undervalue our audience and what they think should be in the news.
Voices of the future
I came across this today on Poynter.org, a Web site for any and all things journalism.
It’s not obvious at first, but a voiceover can either make or break a multimedia presentation. In the article, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Tom Opdyke offers some tips for making the best voiceover possible, since more and more of us reporter [...]
