I was joking with him the other day about doing a “film only” trip, still waiting to see who shows up with a Digital on that day!

Being a photojournalist can be stressful work but it’s also a privileged in so many ways. You never lose passion for something you know is important. It was a little about us but mostly it was about the people we photographed. God Bless and take care

Lucky for me the bees were not Africanized because they started pinging on me and bouncing off my head near the camera en masse.

I didn’t get a single sting, but they let me know to keep my distance.

Great shot. I saw one around a branch I was shooting a few weeks ago and caught it. There are a ton around now, and now I have a better idea of why!

]]> Comment on 'Wild Art' — Words photojournalists hate. by Carlos Moreno http://blogs.evtrib.com/infocus/2009/10/08/wild-art-words-photojournalists-hate/comment-page-1/#comment-54 Carlos Moreno Wed, 20 Jan 2010 16:59:19 +0000 http://infocus.freedomblogging.com/?p=443#comment-54 Chasing wild art was never #1 on my list, but I still worked hard at it and enjoyed grabbing something when none of the other staff could on those slow, slow news days. I prided myself on having a number of locales filed away in my head for emergencies that usually could create a wild art if I needed on in a pinch.

My favorite story: I was once sent to a nearby small town to look specifically for wild art of someone hanging a banner to celebrate a new Naval Homeport that was being opened there. It was late and nearing deadline and I’m thinking there’s no way I’m going to find anyone doing anything. It’s a sleepy little town. Lo and behold, I drive to town and the first thing I see is a guy in overalls straddling a billboard nailing a portion of a sign that reads “Welcome to Homeport”. I snap off a few nice shots and go to ID the guy hammering and discover it’s the mayor of the town–BONUS!
