September 11, 2001 as a Photo Editor
8 years ago today our country was attacked with hijacked airplanes which, I’m sure we all remember exactly where and what we where doing at the time. I was Photo Editor for AOL working on the CompuServe and Netscape portals. I was one of two editors on staff in Columbus, OH, the other was on [...]
A & D Buggy Shop
So yesterday I drove to the heart of Amish country, Holmes County Ohio. I was on shoot to photograph The A & D Buggy Shop. Daniel, the owner, operator and pretty much everythign else buys, sells, and most of all restores old horse-drawn buggies and sleighs. They don’t come cheap either. Once restored they cost [...]
Dairy Farm
I spent today in Perrysville, Ohio on the Ayers Dairy Farm. I was there for the Ohio Farm Bureau magazine Our Ohio. They are doing a story on the family and how they feed all the great people in this country. Anyway, here’s a few cow photos.  Moo. Blog this! Bookmark on Delicious Digg this [...]

Barack Obama
I got to photograph presidential candidate U.S. Senator Barack Obama today. It was fun and great to be there. I wish I could have stayed for the whole speech, but I had to get back to Kent St. to teach class. Here’s a few photos though.

Photo Rights 102
OK, Don’t believe me about protecting your rights of your content? I spoke about it a few months ago with my Blogging Photo Rights 101. Now I want to talk about how you should protect the content you have. Yesterday’s post about being paid fair is only half of it. You need to make sure [...]
Ian’s Peace
Travis Long, video photojournalist for The News and Observer here in the triangle (and also one of my neighbors) created this piece several weeks ago but I’ve just gotten around to putting it up. Ian’s Peace is beautiful, sad, wonderful and heart breaking, everything good journalism should be.  You can also check out Travis’ blog, [...]

Blogging Photo Rights 101
OK, I’ve gotten a few questions off line about not being able to use photos and what you can use. I use the same mentality we used at AOL for using 3rd party photos. The best idea is to ask to use a photo if you’d like to use it. Be honest and upfront about [...]
…and that’s the News
Ok, to continue on my journalism rant… I think the news is changing and the sad thing is most newspapers are in a not keeping up. How has blogging, the internet, and citizen journalism changed how many of us get news now and how we will find it in the future? At this time newspapers [...]
Ethics
Ethics is a topic close to my heart. Why? Mostly with journalism and the world of photo journalism. It’s fairly simple. You see a photograph, you hope it truthful. I learned and researched photo ethics quite a bit while I was working on the News Channel for AOL (at the time Netscape/CompuServe). I quickly became [...]
