All About Wrestling

I took this last Saturday at the Championships. I must have taken a million photos. I learned all about wrestling... perhaps too much. It's probably the most heartbreaking sport to watch. Seriously... Some of these boys cried!

Possible DWI

The car was empty... They have not found the driver as of yet.

Time To Celebrate!

First off... YAY JEN!



If you picked up the New York Times yesterday... you probably saw my name!

That's my photo!

This deserves a fist pump!

Skillzzzzz!

Frown

Why is this man frowning?


I will tell you... This man is frowning because today my identity was stolen.

But it's okay grandpa, you can stop frowning because the person who stole my identity only spent $7.50 on a movie.

So now I am making fun of you identity theft! Why? Because the fact that you only spent $7.50 tells me that you didn't have a hot date for the movies. You probably went alone because you spend your days hacking computers to steal other people's identities, which makes you a nerdy, friendless thief. I also laugh in you face because you were probably very disappointed at the sight of my checking account balance.

Mirror Mirror....

Jacqueline Antonius, left back, owner of Lotus Beauty, puts the finishing touches on Stephanie Johnson's style while Fran Gallegos, right front, trims Brent Clifton Sr.'s hair at Lotus Beauty on Wednesday.

I'm bored with being literal!

It's time to think outside of the box and not worry to much about the technical. I'm focusing on emotions. Would you like to talk about your feelings with me?

It's Pay Day!

Which is good because otherwise I might have been cranky today.

These were shot in a hideous cafeteria, but when the photo gods shut a door... they open a window... or in this case a skylight. I spot metered for those little patches of light to black out an impossible ugly background and try something new.

I need a hobby...

So how would you feel I became a Santa Fe Disco Brawler?

Clinton on Sunday, Natalie Portman today...

...but I'm not a paparazzi photographer and Natalie Portman wasn't an assignment so I'm sorry there are no pictures (that you know of) of the starlet.

... This was shot for the neighbors section.

Bill & Bill Super Bowl

So it's the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl... and guess who I got to watch part of it with.

Governor Bill Richardson, former president Bill Clinton, and Brian Condit enjoy Super Bowl XLII at the governor's mansion in Santa Fe New Mexico.


No... You're eyes don't deceive you.... So what did you do today?

P.S. This is not me endorsing either politician.

The rustling of feathers and the pitter-pat of tiny feet.

It's Sunday and I had no assignments. It snowed again last night so I went out to find another winter weather feature, but that's not exactly what I ended up shooting. I have to tell you that when you stumble upon little moments like this, it makes working on Super Bowl Sunday all worth-while!
