On Assignment
Election Day Coverage
Tuesday’s election was big news in San Diego. Here’s a link roundup.
Editor Jeff Light for Voiceofsandiego.org
This week I photographed Jeff Light, the new editor of the San Diego Union-Tribune newspaper, while he was interviewed by Voiceofsandiego.org senior writer Rob Davis for this weekend’s Q&A.
Lumina MMX for the La Jolla Light
Taking lifestyle assignments aren’t going to win me any Pulitzers, but I really love it when a venue is well-lit. Cartier-Bresson said flash is rude, and lately I’ve taken every opportunity to save the batteries on my strobes – even when I’m shooting the nightlife of some fancy pants La Jollans.
Studying an Earthquake
One evening last week I had a chance meeting with a structural engineer from UC San Diego, and thanks to that encounter I set out at the break of dawn the next morning to tour recent earthquake damage on both sides of the international border in Mexicali and Calexico.
CityBeat food issue cover shoot
A bunch of hipsters in an alleyway helped me shoot the cover of San Diego CityBeat’s food issue this week. You’ll see some of the CityBeat staff in the mob, chasing a delicious yet ill-fated taco man.
Jailhouse nosh for San Diego CityBeat
This week is San Diego CityBeat’s food issue, and included for good measure is a story on prison food. CityBeat writer Dave Maass and I toured the San Diego Sheriff’s Central Production Center, where 35,000 meals are produced daily, five days a week, for inmates around the county.
Fire in La Jolla
This evening a fire burned in the basement of the Bang and Olufsen store on Girard Avenue in La Jolla.
Floatopia
Like tan, overdeveloped leafcutter ants carrying inflatable rafts ten times their size, several thousand students and twenty-somethings swarmed Mission Bay on the first day of spring for a water party known as Floatopia.
High Tech Fair
Last week I covered an exhibition of local technology companies attended by middle and high school students. I contributed photos as wells as the written piece for the Del Mar Times, and it was pretty intense seeing what these kids got to be exposed to. Back in my day we never played with bomb-detecting robots or jet turbines during school hours.
Ozzy Osbourne in La Jolla
Ozzy fans made for an interesting mix in conservative La Jolla on Friday when hundreds showed up for his book signing, which I covered for the La Jolla Light.
