I shot this last week for the paper’s business section. Every week we have a profile on a local business owner. For a while we got an endless stream of cube dwellers which resulted in an endless stream of man-and-his-computer pictures. Lately there has been an opportunity to meet some interesting people doing interesting things. […]
I got up obscenely early this morning to ride aboard a ferry as part of a test run to see how ferry service would work. I and transportation reporter Kelly Hannon got on board the Providence III in Occoquan and went up to several locations in and around DC. Since it was just a test […]
Today we’ve added two interesting new blogs to fburgnews.com.

The surveys are designed to compile a profile of the arts community and document specific needs. The Arts Commission intends to use […]
Well, it’s that time of year again – All-Area Sportraits. I’ve been shooting a ton of these lately and I was hoping I could pass these to a coworker to see what he could do with them. Sadly he got laid off and bought a plane ticket to China. I remained in Fredericksburg to herd […]
The last couple weeks have been kind of busy with the VNPA annual conference last weekend, the All-Area sportrait series and a handful of regular, grind assignments in there, including first days of spring, a business portrait of a matial arts school owner and a perennial favorite among organs of community journalism, a pig-kissing event […]
