What a crazy day I’m having

by sdulai on May 8, 2007 • No Comments

Sometimes you just have to sit back and say… wow… just wow. I came in today to the internship and shot six assignments and produced a multimedia piece, so all in all, not bad. But just looking it over, in the end it was one crazy day. A crazy racist lady wanted to know where...

I think I might like baseball… gulp!

by sdulai on May 5, 2007 • No Comments

The last couple of days I’ve been shooting a lot of high school baseball and softball games and I’m afraid I may like baseball now. I always said I didn’t like baseball because it was boring and slow and I hated sitting still and watching grown men spit and scratch and stretch and stand for...

ducks and ethics

by sdulai on Mar 17, 2007 • No Comments

I ran into an ethical dilemma while on assignment at the Santa Cruz Sentinel today (and by today I mean when I wrote this, I have a bad habit on making everything a draft because I want to rewrite stuff), and it was a most fowl dilemma indeed. (Thunder clap!) Sorry I couldn’t resist. Anyhow,...

The story every journalist covers

by sdulai on Mar 9, 2007 • No Comments

So it took nearly two months but it finally happened, I finally got that story that everyone has to cover… gas prices. It’s basically the same story that everyone’s shot a million times, in fact I shared a laugh last night with a friend who covered the same story a week prior at her paper....

Writing for the silver screen (by osmosis)

by sdulai on Mar 4, 2007 • No Comments

This year I got to take part in something I’ve been wanting to for a long time. It’s another one of those things that I’ve always wanted to do but never knew when the plan would come to fruition. But it’s funny how the last couple months things that I’ve always wanted to do have...

my first (second… well third) front page…

by sdulai on Mar 4, 2007 • No Comments

… but the first that I’ve seen in the newsstand. I passed by this kiosk on Pacific Avenue just after sunset as the rain was pouring and I was on my way back to the office dreched by the sudden downpour in nothing but a thin turtle neck sweater (don’t tell my mom, she worries)....

The elephant seals of Ano Nuevo

by sdulai on Feb 19, 2007 • No Comments

A few weeks ago I was afforded the opportunity to travel up the coast and do a story on elephant seals. I finally got around to working with Ryan and creating some more multimedia content for the web. Just like old times.

I finally went to the beach

by sdulai on Feb 15, 2007 • No Comments

After nearly six weeks at the internship in lovely Santa Cruz, I finally made it to the beach, which if you know me is flabbergasting. I’m the guy my friends know as the one who takes off for the beach when he’s bored or wants to clear his head or needs a destination to drive...

My week in pictures Jan. 14-20, 2007

by sdulai on Jan 19, 2007 • No Comments

A few weeks ago I embarked on my second internship, and seeing as how I haven’t updated the blog as often as I’d like, I thought it might be a good idea to share the work I’m producing. Things have settled a bit… more like the calm before the storm as SJSU starts up next...

Dear Me, how’s it going, call your mother more often #JCarn

Yup, once again, welcome to my latest post for #JCarn. The Carnival of Journalism is a loose collection of journalism thinkers (and people like me) who get together to post on their blogs with their reflections on a given prompt. This month I had the opportunity to host and asked folks to write themselves a letter. As it’s the end of the year, it felt like the right time to look inward. Plus we spend so much time looking outside of ourselves at the industry/government/tech trends/government that self-reflection becomes that icky no-no that we seldom tackle. I know it’s scary, but come’on, let’s do this thing! Why? Because YOLO? “Write a letter to your younger self.” Dear Me, I’m writing to you from 2013, a little wiser, a little slower and probably still confused about why more people don’t do the right thing, but don’t let that stop you from trying. We’ve always been stubborn. I’m packing for a trip to India right now as I write this– don’t worry, you’re not married and yup, you’ll eventually leave California and actually get to fly in a plane– it’s been a wild couple of days. The last 10 or […]

Write a letter to yourself! #JCarn Dec prompt

Howdy folks, After trading some e-mails with David for the great reboot of #JCarn– we were trading prompt ideas and well, I’ll be your host for December. Oh how rude of me, I’m being such a terrible host, let me take your coat, come on in, wipe your feet. As we race toward the end of 2013, it’s a natural time for reflection and in that spirit I think I’ve come up with what I hope will be an enjoyable and perhaps even cathartic prompt: “What would you write if you could send a letter to your fifteen-year-old self?” For December I would like you all to write a letter to your younger self. You can write about anything, no rules, no apologies. You may like to share with yourself advice, things to look out for, things you wished you did differently, regrets, hopes, what you’ve learned, about your life, choices… or just about anything that is on your mind. Ideally these are deeply personal to you and I hope it’ll be enlightening to others in its universality to the human condition. More often than not, if it’s important to you, it’s important to others. And who knows, maybe you’ll […]
