Bagpiper

I heard this guy playing in an open field across from the University of Dallas one night while leaving a shoot. This photo was shot in almost complete darkness at ISO 16000, f/2.8 with a shutter speed of 1/10.

Backlog: In the beginning...

This picture was my very first image to run in a newspaper. It was my first assignment of my first tryout day of my first year at The Daily Texan - January 25, 2007. The story was about student government's campaign for tax-free textbooks. They had a table set up spread with Ramen noodles and a poster set up with the question posted, "What will you do with the money you save on textbooks?" I wonder if they ever got this passed.

Speaking of expensive textbooks, Kelly and I were looking at an article in the Alcalde, the UT alumni magazine (since we are old alumni now), about the possibility of digital textbooks. There is actually a small school in Pennsylvania that has already purchased iPads for their entire student body. Interesting.

I also remember that guy in the photo, Mr. Zach C. Hall was all over the place. When you shoot for the Texan, you start seeing the same people often. Democratic state rep Mark Strama was another one of these guys.
