    High School Sweethearts Reunite

    This story was a hit with our viewers, mainly because it's just a cute story of long lost love. I was happy to be able to work on this, just to get a break from the every day grind of Council meetings and neighborhood break-in stories. Two high school sweethearts finally reunite with one...

    The last of a dying breed...

    A popular music store in Louisville, Ear X-tacy, closed for good today, due to the bad economy and move towards digitally shared music. This is a day turn story but I really tried to spice it up as much as I could. There are actually a few stories I did this weekend that I'm proud of... I'll...

    Most important things for news cars to have?

    I will be moving jobs in a few weeks, moving to a bigger market, and to a station that gives its photogs take home cars and gear. It doesn't have to be a top 10 list, but what things do I HAVE to have in a news car to survive? What things do you wish you had, and what things have served you...

    The Crave Truck - waffles on wheels

    Story I did on Friday night... the engine sound from the generator was KILLING me the whole time but I like how it turned out. Tried to sequence as much as I could. Thanks in advanced for the critiques, everybody http://illinoishomepage.net/fulltext/?watch=1&nxd_id=264167

    Campustown Blaze

    The result of a few hours hauling gear around Campustown... and also why my camera and bag now smell like smoke. Shot and cut this earlier this week... quite a big fire that ended up totally destroying the buildings. Good thing students were on Spring Break or this thing might have been worse...

    'Nother Nat Pack

    This assignment ranks as one of my favorites. It started out as just a simple "go cover this funeral". When I got there, I started thinking about the 21 gun salute, taps, and the guys nailing flags into the ground... I started to think this could be a pretty good nat pack. Well, it turns out...

    Methods of capturing sound @ fire scenes

    I'm 6 months in to my professional news photography career and I can already think of two cases where I would have liked to make packs. Unfortunately, most of these fires happen at night and are VO SOTs for the morning producers. In the case that some day I DO get to pack a fire story, I...

    Looking for a specific package...

    Hi all - I know this is like finding a needle in a barn of haystacks, but I'm looking for a specific package that I THINK was in the running for NPPA POY either this year or last year. It's not a Darren Durlach piece, I know that much. It's a spot news piece about a truck accident... I THINK...

    Stolen Trolley Joyride package

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKyjQGzgMMU This was a last minute shoot, to cover a story we missed. I tried to make up for it by shooting as creatively as possible. I like the way most of it turned out, but as always there are shots I wish I had that dont exist. Let me know what you think!

    First Ever NatPack as a professional photog

    Hello Forum - Well I have been employed as a photographer for a little over a month now. I got the chance to go to the County Fair and shoot a nat pack. I shot it over two days but I am pretty pleased with the way it turned out. I would have liked to talk to more people to get their opinions...

    "Top ten things you never hear news viewers say"

    Hi b-rollers - In my days as an intern I read a humorous listof the "top ten things you'll never hear news viewers say." Some of them were things like "HONEY! The police say they need MY help solving this murder!" among other things... I forget exactly what most of them were but I remember...

    First Reel Ever

    I am trying to break into the news photography business after I graduate in May. I have assembled my best packs into this 10 minute resume reel. As with every thread in this forum, I'd love for everyone to rip it apart and give me compliments and suggestions on how to improve. This DVD will be...
