You da man!

James Mitchell is my hero...Mitchell was being robbed at gunpoint by three masked men at his business just after midnight, and I guess he was ready, because, regardless of having a gun on him at the time, Quick Draw McGraw pulled out his .40 semi-automatic from his back pocket and got off two shots, hitting the guy with the gun in the stomach! You da man, James Mitchell.

Below Mitchell explains how one of the robbers returned moments after the incident with his hands in the air, asking if he could retrieve his cell phone...huh? Idiot.

Purple Hull Pea Harvest

I spent part of the morning shooting Bossier Parish inmates picking buckets and buckets of purple hull peas in northern Bossier Parish that are used to feed the inmate population.

I had to smile when I overheard one of the inmates sweating in the sun say, "I hate peas, then Germain Smith told me, "this is my 15 minutes of fame" as I shot a photo of him silhouetted in the hot sun. But the best was a comment from another inmate a few rows over who said, "they feed us too much bologna."

It's Still Hot!

I loved this little boy when he made such a funny face while eating his ice cream!!!

Cyber Symposium

I was not really excited with my assignment today at the third annual Air Force Cyberspace Symposium. The event opened today at the Shreveport Convention Center with Air Force Cyber folks and a good sized crowd of international and national attendees. This is not a visual event, although they did have the stage lit pretty nice there are only so many option with podium shots. I opted for the exhibition hall and "made" a couple of nice photos that told the story.
