Gina Murray, (center) waits for the right Dart bus to get to the grocery store with her four grandchildren Terrell Frison, (left to right) Kizzy Frison, Krystal Murray, and Isaiah Frison at the Dart Corinth Street train station after power was knocked out to the train’s power lines on Saturday July 5, 2008. Dart is hoping the train will be up and running by the end of the day. Only the Corinth Street stop was affected.

Vigil

June 20, 2008 | Category: Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

I always find it amazing when we as photographers, journalists, etc. walk into situations such as this one and are thanked for coming. I think that most of the time we are seen as an enemy or exploiting the suffering, but we (in my mind) are just trying to show what injustices have been done.

CAPTION: Family, friends, and neighbors prayed Thursday around Jade Butcher, of Arlington, whose father, Rodrick Butcher, was fatally shot June 9 in DeSoto, Texas as three people were trying to steal his Chevy pickup.

The Wackness

Director Jonathan Levine (left) and actor Josh Peck came to Dallas to promote their new movie “The Wackness”. It was one of those quick hit deals where they try to get you in and out. Both were extremely nice though and I definitely wanna see the movie.

Indy Cars and Dare Devils

I covered the Bombardier Learjet 550k at Texas Motor Speedway last night. I’ve shot nascar before, but this was tough to shoot. They’re faster and less likely to get in a wreck so you gotta be ready for anything at any time. I got the one bad wreck at the end. Both drivers walked away and were fine. I also got to witness Robbie Knievel jump 21 hummers before the race started…It was pretty awesome.

Toxic Neighbors

June 5, 2008 | Category: Uncategorized | 3 Comments

I haven’t been shooting a lot of daily stuff recently because I was working on a project called Toxic Neighbors. It’s a three day investigative story about residential areas in and around industrial areas. It was probably the most difficult assignment I’ve ever had because it wasn’t very visual. Here’s a link to the online project.
