And I'm back...

After a good while of doing not a whole lot on the work end, I shot an assignment for Education Week, a weekly newspaper read in almost every K-12 school in America. My assignment? Go to one of the most powerful judicial bodies in the world, wait for a verdict in a landmark civil rights case, and make cool pictures. My editor literally told me to just try and make some "funky" images. I couldn't have been happier with this assignment when i was first asked to do it. A few hours in the sun, later I a few images in kinda dig.

Revisted

Today I spent time with Brian Rigg, a cemetery caretaker, and his girlfriend Cindy. I did a story on them last quarter for my class. It was a transport back a few months and its odd to think the person I was only back in February. I feel that I've grown a considerable amount this year at school. As this year comes to a close its good to reflect and revisit some old chapters.
Cindy has begun to start start a garden, mostly pumpkins and melons. As I was driving up, the irony hit me instantly. Grown next to decay.

Here's Brian

They watch a lot of TV.
