A Spot of Recent Work

without comments

Hi all:

Long time no post — been busy. Like some of you may have seen on Facebook or SportsShooter, I’m getting ready to head over to my first Winter Olympic Games. I head out in a few days and will be there till March 3.

I’ll have plenty of updates as time sees fit. In addition to posting photos as often as I can here, I’ll be contributing to the Dallas Morning News’ Olympics blog. As soon as I have the URL for that, I’ll share.

In the meantime, here’s a smattering of recent to semi-recent photos from daily grind stuff the last few weeks. Figured I’d try to get one more post in before disappearing for a few weeks … in case, as many people tell me, I’ll barely have time to sleep in Vancouver, let alone blog. We shall see.

Sorry as usual for the lack of cutline info. Info is as follows:

001 — Photo from a presser with missionaries who were trapped in Haiti following last month’s earthquake. They found out shortly before the conference that one of their colleagues died from injuries she sustained in the disaster.

002 — UNT One O’Clock Lab Band practice. They were nominated for their fifth and sixth Grammy Awards this year. Didn’t win, but still a hell of on honor. I believe they are the only collegiate lab band to be nominated for the prestigious musical award.

003 — Sand truck wreck on a highway downtown. They call that stretch — US-175 and I-45 — ‘dead man’s curve’ for a reason.

004 — Portrait of Chuck Greenberg, the head of the new Texas Rangers ownership group, Greenberg-Ryan.

005-008 — Photos from National Signing Day, shot at Rowlett High School and the big DISD shindig in south Dallas.

That is all. More soon!
