Kevin Kline On Capitol Hill
Actor Kevin Kline made a visit to Capitol Hill today to testify before the Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs. Kline, a Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation celebrity advocate, got involved with the cause when his son was diagnosed as a child. Kline urged the FDA to take immediate action to accelerate the research and [...]
Looking For The Light
Covering meetings and press conferences is never something a photojournalist considers a dream assignment. The options always seem predictable. It is hard to walk into the same scene over and over and try to come up with something different. And something different, at least for someone competing with Getty Images or the Associated Press, is [...]
Osama Bin Laden – Dead
People gathered in front of the White House on Monday to celebrate the death of Osama bin Laden. Sunday night President Obama, speaking from the East Room of the White House, told the nation that the United States attacked a compound Sunday in Pakistan’s Abbottabad Valley. During a firefight, the U.S. team killed bin Laden, [...]
Do you like this photo?
OK. Not sure how many responses I will get, but I am curious about what others think of this photo. An attempt at something different. I will tell more about it after I get some votes in the can.
The “Long” and “Short” of it.
The Goldman Sachs Hearings on Capitol Hill 8:30 a.m. Arrived early for a 10:00 hearing. There are already 15 or 20 photographers and a slew of writers and TV already in the room. Thankfully it is a bigger room than the one that held the Toyota hearings a few months back. First thing is to [...]
Protect the Penis (I am not making this up)
OK. It was going to be a simple assignment at the White House. The President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, and his wife were in town for a visit with our President. Easy enough. Show up and photograph the short press conference, send the photos to ZUMA and head home. But as I was leaving the [...]
Working at the White House
I have covered a lot of cool stuff over my 25-plus years as a photojournalist. I have covered 10 U.S. Open golf tournaments, been to the Masters 4 times and played Augusta National. I have gone up in 2 blimps for shoots and ridden with game wardens in those cool little helicopters. I covered protests [...]
And then it got UGLY…
Apparently when all else fails, civil discourse is set aside in the Tea Party movement. From CNN: “Civil rights icon and veteran Rep. John Lewis, D-Georgia, said anti-health care bill protesters Saturday repeatedly yelled the “N” word at him as he left a heath care meeting and walked to the Capitol.” Click here for the [...]
Tea Party March on the Capitol
Activists from the conservative advocacy group The Tea Party Express marched to the U.S. Capitol Saturday to protest health care reform, higher taxes and what they see as out-of-control government spending. The group began its tour in Sacramento, California, making its way across the country, hosting rallies in about 30 cities. Washington is the final [...]
Official Inaugural Book Project
I was informed tonight by email that the Official Barack Obama Inaugural Book has been printed and is at the bindery. I have the honor of having 4 images in the book along with the images of an elite team of award-winning photojournalists led by Pulitzer Prize winner David Hume Kennerly who served as official [...]
