Amo for Pitching Projects

I heard an NPR piece two weeks ago that I have been meaning to find on their site and also post here. Its a great look at how there is a direct correlation between quality photojournalism and fund raising. Siting the situation after the cyclone in Myanmar, along with the disaster relief effort in China, it is clear that the amount of funding both efforts received were directly effected by how much media exposure there was. Check it out if you get a chance and keep it in mind for potential clients down the road...

USA Olympic Boxing Team

The US Olympic boxing team held an invitational with China and Brazil to prep for the games the other night in Bridgeport. Hung out for a bit while they were training also... Nice guys who were mostly smaller than me but could easily break me in half.

Special Olympics

I dont know who had more fun at this special olympics practice, the kids or me...these guys were so much fun and i just wanted to put down the camera and play too!
