Goodbye ABQ, on the road again
Well I stayed longer than I thought I would (but I’m not complaining), but now it’s time to move on. My ABQ chapter is officially in the books. Whenever I go somewhere new, I always end up taking lots of pictures, noticing tons of things and writing a ton… I’ve been stepping aside, pulling over...

I’m right here Roberto!
That guy right there on the right who’s hugging the hell out of me (or looks likes he about to tackle me?), that’s Roberto Rosales, a staff shooter from the ABQ Journal, and apparently he misses me. We’re also flanked by Jim Thompson, center, and Greg Sorber, left, also staff shooters that had been great...

Last day
Today was the last day, and for my last assignment I had the pleasure of photographing these two critters at the metro pound. I always thought Pets of the Week was a weird assignment. It felt like every week that I’d do it I was having to decide which animals lived and which died. Walking...

And this is the end, the end my friend
Well… it’s nearing the end of my time with the Albuquerque Journal. It’s been a long, winding, educating, eye-opening trip. Thursday is my last day, with Friday a check-out day. As of now my last assignment here is pets of the week for the metro section. Seems kinda fitting and poetic. So what can I...

I got lead art (on the web)
Well, I may not have gotten front page (yet… oh yes, it shall be mine…) but I did end up scoring lead art on the paper’s website. Which I just happened to visit by chance and was pleasantly surprised by. Not so much that my picture was there, but because the website actually looked pretty...

Burma protest
If you’re a photographer and have paid even the slightest sliver of attention to world events, you’ve no doubt heard of what is happening in Burma and most likely you’ve heard of or seen images of Kenji Nagai, 50, the Japanese photographer who was working for Tokyo-based video and photo agency APF News, that was...

How’d this happen?
A former editor recently dropped me a line and pointed out that for a photographer I sure haven’t been posting many pictures to SLR… so, here we go as today we ask, how’d this happen? It must be some sick twisted joke.

Postcards from the road to ABQ
While I was driving over to ABQ, as I tend to do, I jotted a few my thoughts on the scraps of paper within arms reach. Here’s a few of the sights and sounds I noticed on the road to Albuquerque… -The way it worked out, to cross over to Arizona I had to cross...

Our first multimedia
The University of New Mexico Lobo’s charged the field in their home opener against the New Mexico Aggies and we decided to give it the old Joe Wise college try. Click the image to check it out. Fellow ABQ intern Morgan Petroski suggested it after realizing it’s most likely the biggest game of the season...

All about my new home
Well I made it, I’m in New Mexico, day one of tomorrow and the next six months. Albuquerque reminds me a lot of a Reno and San Jose hybrid. It’s kind of in a valley like San Jose, well not really, it just looks like that at night when you’re seeing lights for the first...

I’m taking the left turn in Albuquerque
By the time many of you (hey, maybe both of you can compare notes!) read this I’ll be on my way to ABQ, New Mexico. I’ve not said much about it thus far on SLR, but back in June I was accepted for a six-month internship at the Albuquerque Journal and I start on Monday...
