Any Given Sunday

From yesterday's random smattering of assignments: news conference at the White House on swine flu and then protests against meetings of the World Bank and IMF.

Geithner etc

I find myself photographing the Treasury Secretary quite a lot these days. I'd much rather be on my end of the camera than his.

Back in DC

I'm home from Peru, snagging a few minutes between assignments around town. It's nice to be back and busy.

Peru photos will be posted soon. In the meantime, below is my lunch of deep-fried cuy, or guinea pig, in the city of Ayacucho. I think it would have been better baked.

Local Number in Peru

If anyone needs to reach me by phone while I'm in Peru (through April 19), you can get me at +51 (1) 994 869 629.

Off to Lima, Peru

I'm sitting on an airplane (but not the one below) waiting to fly off to Lima for two weeks to work on a project or two. I'll post my local cell # when I have it; in the meantime, I should have regular email access. I'm open to any assignment requests, and plan to spend the majority of my time staying put in Lima.

I'll be back in DC on April 20.

Heroin in Russia Featured on Need Magazine's Website

I was really happy when Need Magazine contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if they could feature my story about heroin addiction in Russia on their website. It's finally up and, if I do say so myself, it looks great. See it here.

NYT.com

Always nice to get a tip (thanks Steve) that your picture is leading the New York Times website.
