Happy Birthday!

Today noted educator, author, musician, ventriloquist, and father, Dr. Gary Lare, celebrates his birthday. I could not cross the country today to take his picture, so I shot this one of his photo published in a coffee table book about Cincinnati (he was included due to his local celebrity status).  Happy birthday Dad!!

Photojournalism

I went out to take some street photos on Saturday and came across a group (San Diego Union-Tribune reported 7,000 people) that wasn’t too happy with some of Tuesday’s ballot results.

While taking this pic I was startled by a  woman screaming at me - “did YOU vote against us??!!!“. At first I thought “¿de que hablas y por que me gritas cabrona?”, then I realized she was yelling it at each person as she passed them by in the march.

The week summed up in a headline

Signed. Sealed. Delivered.
