Farmers and Actors and Vegans, oh MY!

Where to begin. . . I can't possible give a detailed post on the happenings of this past week. I've been even busier than I expected. The life of a newspaper photographer is crazy and diverse. I have met farmers, musicians, actors, vegans, and the Waterbury Mayor. In addition to talking to them and interviewing them I've had the opportunity of photographing them. So Instead of writing a novella I will simply post some of the photographic highlights and let the pictures do most of the explaining, because after all, that's what they are suppose to do.

We went home with some of these eggs. yum.

The sweetest people you will ever meet.
Mike Kachuba played the banjo, guitar, dulcimer, hammered dulcimer, jaw harp, harmonica. . .

They're discussing a Vegan ratatouille recipe.Puerto Ricans while listening to their anthem. They are waving the Puerto Rican flag.

Puerto Rican Mayor for a Day, Felix Rodriguez. He is also a police commissioner, and holds various other public official titles. I met/photographed the real Mayor as well.

All of these pictures were shot on assignment for the newspaper. These weren't necessarily the photos I chose to submit, but I liked them. I have pictures I've taken recreationally but I haven't had the opportunity to process them yet. They will be posted later.

I do enjoy taking pictures, processing them, submitting them and then waking up the next morning and seeing them in print. It is very gratifying.

I have the day off tomorrow and I think I am going to drive to the coast. It should be a nice drive and I have never been to a northern ocean beach. Hopefully I will get some good pictures from the journey.
