More FotoWeek/DC

Tonight Critical Exposure is holding a print auction fundraiser here in DC, featuring a photo of mine among those by others such as Steve McCurry. The event, Picture Equality: An Evening of Empowerment Through Photography, benefits the nonprofit, which teaches middle and high school students to document issues that impact their lives through photography and to use their images and voices to advocate for change. This, like tons of other events in town this week, is part of FotoWeek/DC. It's a good cause!

G20

I photographed President Bush's closing statement at the G20 summit this past weekend. The pictures there were fine, but I like this other one better, which was snapped out the window our police-escorted motorcade of charter buses for the press. Let's just say there was a little bit of security involved in the whole affair.

Slideluck Potshow DC III

If you're in DC, make sure to come by Slideluck Potshow tomorrow night. It's the kickoff of FotoWeek/DC, and I'll be showing my work from along the U.S./Mexico border. But it's not just me! Among others: Allison Shelley, Jacquelyn Martin, Juliana Beasley, Karine Aigner, Kristoffer Tripplaar, Louie Palu, Melissa Golden, Stephan Janin, Susanna Raab, George Steinmetz, and William Christenberry.

Good times!

Update: one of my similar shots appeared the other day on the Wall Street Journal's Photo Journal Pictures of the Day.

Fake Obama Sighting

One of the interesting things about shooting for a wire service, in this case Getty, is that you never know where your pictures will end up. So, one morning you can be surfing a New York Times article about Barack Obama, as I was last week, and realize that your picture is there with it. It's a nice feeling.
