WEEK 5

It's week five. I'm still having fun with this little blog of mine. Unlike last week I'm a little early as I have to head out at 5AM to shoot golf. I'm in NYC for the rest of the week, but I'll be back on the stumping grounds by the middle of next week. Thanks to all of you for the comments, support, and the extra motivation to keep this up. Talk to you next week.

WEEK 4

I'm a little late with posting this week's picture, so I am making up for it by adding 4 pix this time around. I've been following the campaigns in Iowa for 2 weeks now. I'm starting to find the people in the crowds are just as fun and engaging as the presidential hopefuls.

WEEK 3

It's week 3 and I am now have dual citizesnship here in Iowa and back home in New York. Strangely Iowa feels more like home than NYC does. The people are super friendly, the sun stays up until almost 10 and I can actually see stars when I look up to the sky.

It is a good place to feel inspired as a photographer. Here's this week's offering. Talk to you next week.

Cheers,

Cheers,

WEEK 1

I started this blog a year ago to introduce myself to my team at the Eddie Adams workshop. Sadly I have been lax at keeping up with it. Starting today I am trying to get a little more perspective on my work and have decided to submit one picture a week. Hopefully I can keep up with this. Let me know what you think.

EDDIE ADAMS

Since the rest of you have put yourselves out there I figured I'd climb aboard and post my first blog.

As you all know I am in my sixth year of being a stringer(I like that title) here in New York. I pretty much work for the New York Times and for the last two years Reuters. Between the two I get to cover a wide variety of things. Just to keep it interesting I have also been a volunteer photographer for NGO's like IOM and Operation Smile. In the last few years I've gotten to cover things like the RNC, the US Open, the elections in Haiti, recovery after the tsunami, and the life of a slain taxi driver in Afghanistan.








I guess I have been very lucky to have stumbled onto photography. It's changed my life, giving me a chance to see thing that most peole only dream of.



That being said, I would not be at this place if it were not for this workshop. Coming to Eddie Adams helped me turn a corner. I was inspired to work harder, be more creative, and trust myself as a photographer. For that I owe first Eddie Adams, and then Bill Frakes and Jimmy Colton a debt of gratitude. Not only with my career, but in life in gerneral. I have a pretty big extend family which you are all now a part of. You are my sixth team and as of Friday I will now have 59 brothers and sister. That does not even include the rest of the folks that are on the Black Team or the rest of the faculty. Through this work I've seen the world, made best friends, and even met my wife.

I'll see you all on Friday.

Cheers,

Keith
