Another School Year
Sorry I haven’t posted in a while (I know, I know, you were all crying yourselves to sleep). But, since driving home from Reno I have been busy moving in, going to meetings, and getting back into another year of grad school. This semester I will be working for the Columbia Missourian so once I […]
Rodeo
A couple of pictures from the Reno Rodeo which ran June 18-27. I spent 3 nights shooting it and I must admit, it was harder than I expected. I guess it is like shooting anything else– the more you do it, the better you get. I had never even been to a rodeo before this– […]
iPhone was on fire (and so was some brush)
The first “significant” wildfire of the season was last Thursday. Of course, we went rushing out to cover it. For me it was an interesting experiment in convergence journalism and journalism for the web. The newspaper wanted a photo as quick as possible to throw up on the web. Quality didn’t really matter– they just […]
Shootout
I shot the Carson City Rendezvous last week which is sort of a blend of Civil War Reenactment, Old West Reenactment, Frontier Reenactment and a bunch of vendors in the middle of it all. I followed these guys around for a bit while they pretended to “rob” the little train that runs around the park […]
When CEO's know how to have fun
I must say, when I am handed an assignment to shoot a CEO for a “Reno’s Most Influential People” article, I am sort of intimidated. I’m not really sure why, but when I hear CEO, I think of a boring portrait shot of a guy in a suit who barely has time for me. Luckily, […]
Sitting through graduation…. five times
This weekend, all the Washoe County public schools graduated. If you thought sitting through your own graduation was boring, try sitting through FIVE of them. This is how I spent Friday evening and all day Saturday. Actually, it wasn’t all that bad. At least all that time gave me opportunities to explore the gym and […]
Schoooooooool's Out for the Summer
This picture was for an assignment about the school year winding down in Reno this week and some of the things different schools were doing in the final week. I went to the Sierra Nevada Academy Charter School, which was holding a student-run end of the year talent show. Sierra Nevada Academy seventh grader Florencio […]
First day at work
My first day at the Reno Gazette-Journal was Monday. After days of driving, I finally made it to Reno and got off to a quick start. I covered Memorial Day at the Veterans Cemetery in Fernley, NV as well as the Reno Aces (our minor league baseball team and feeder team for the Arizona Diamondbacks) […]
