I'm an aspiring photojournalist. This blog is kind of a dumping ground for my thoughts; there may be opinions here and there, but I hope to aim for a sort of truth in the end.

I hold the copyright on all the photographs on this page. I don't watermark because it looks ugly. Still, please don't steal them.

I am also working on the Untitled India Project, which you should totally check out.

Not quite liveblogging, but...

I brought my laptop to the Obama rally. Around my neck, easy, left a hand for my camera and another to shade bright lights. After the speech I grabbed sidewalk wifi and posted three quick JPEGs. No toning, just the BASIC half of RAW+BASIC. With only reserve battery to run on I did a quick edit and emailed these shots to my blog.

Walking back to my car now, people behind me are still crying out ‘Yes We Can’s in the distance, and my shots are up. Is this the future of photojournalism? Or am I just a part of the vast wire service in the cloud, where pictures flow fast and no one can earn a living making them?
