I waited, and waited, but he either didnt show or snuck in the one entrance I couldn't see. Of the three possibilities, I chose to "stake out" the location where I could see two of the entrances. Contrary to popular belief, I can only be in one place at one time. You win some you lose some. This is, however, the only time I wish I could have a marked car. One of the guys who patrols the downtown area handing out tickets once told me he doesn't put them on media vehicles that are clearly marked. I drive my own vehicle. Doesn't do me much good. Another $10 down the drain. unless of course I procrastinate until it turns into $25 parking ticket...again.<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /><img src="http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt117/timesimages/ticket.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></span><div id="HTMLContainer" class="contianerCopyCodeCtrl"><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://static.pbsrc.com/flash/input.swf" style="" id="HTML-code" bgcolor="transparent" quality="high" name="HTML-code" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" swliveconnect="true" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="ipt=%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fs603.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ftt117%2Ftimesimages%2F%3Faction%3Dview%26current%3Dticket.jpg%22%20target%3D%22_blank%22%3E%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fi603.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ftt117%2Ftimesimages%2Fticket.jpg%22%20border%3D%220%22%20alt%3D%22Photobucket%22%3E%3C%2Fa%3E&trk=image_code_click_FULLVIEW_HTML&width=175&height=21&color=#000000&border=#BDBDBD&cont=HTMLContainer" height="21" width="175"></embed></div>Greg Pearsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18438156660197655652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840543272522209823.post-4359356862476495562010-02-16T15:15:00.001-06:002010-02-16T15:17:04.992-06:00Those crazy kids!<img src="http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt117/timesimages/cmm2.jpg" width="800px" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt117/timesimages/cmm1.jpg" width="400px" />Hudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18040242738001178928noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840543272522209823.post-56251151611671739712010-02-12T16:29:00.007-06:002010-02-12T16:33:07.935-06:00Love That Mardi Gras!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__MaUZYajjG4/S3XXFHmZncI/AAAAAAAAAGY/KG0P5jeFNPA/s1600-h/020710SHRcentaur4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I turned around the 300mm lens and found my answer. I was using one of our pool lenses that has been dropped, leaving a big chip in the bottom of the front element that has not been replaced.<br /><br />Under normal conditions the lens works fine, only a vague notice of fuzz in the bottom area of the image that would never be detected, especially with our reproduction. <br /><br />Tonight was different though, I was shooting the third quarter of the Independence Bowl under the stadium lights without a lens shade................ it is broken also.<br /><br />The glare of the lights changed the path and caused some pretty cool "glare". <br />So much for the alien conspiracy theory.Hudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18040242738001178928noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840543272522209823.post-55340520553974565352009-12-25T17:13:00.003-06:002009-12-29T14:38:02.362-06:00Rest in Peace Chief Adams<img src="http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt117/timesimages/prodession.jpg" width="800px" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt117/timesimages/salute.jpg" width="800px" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt117/timesimages/group.jpg" /><br /><br />A few days ago I was assigned to cover the Memorial Service for Battalion Chief Tommy Lee Adams at Summer Grove Baptist Church. <br /><br />I couldn't tell you how many funerals and memorial services I have covered over my 19 years in Shreveport and at various other newspapers across the country. This time it was different, this time it was for someone whom I call a friend.<br /><br />I met Tommy a decade or so ago while working on a story about the local Life Air Rescue. We flew multiple times over a period of about a week or so while I photographed the project. He was always friendly and outgoing.<br /><br />Over the years since the project I have run into him at assignment, events or activites around town. I don't think I every saw him without a smile on his face, laughing, or giving me a pat on the back asking me how I was doing.<br /><br />He was a great person and it has been a privilege and an honor to know him.<br /><br />My deepest condolences go out to his family.Hudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18040242738001178928noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840543272522209823.post-46486902944942948842009-12-16T08:46:00.004-06:002009-12-16T16:48:56.602-06:00Decisions, DecisionsThis image represents one of the most difficult tasks we have as photojournalists...editing. I photographed this gentleman as he described to a reporter what he saw when he witnessed a 17-year-old girl gunned down in front of her high school before the start of classes one morning. He was visibly shaken and described the incident as "an attempted execution".<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 371px; height: 988px;" src="http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt117/timesimages/collage2.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">So should we go with image (1) where he is wiping tears away from his face? The action is literal and there would be no issues with reproduction which may be the issue with image (2). The second image is the most striking of the four, but with the age of our press, we have to be concerned about whether or not readers will even be able to see the tears. Image (3) kind of combines more than one emotion...you can see him welling up with tears, but he almost has a look of disgust on his face. And finally, image (4) is more of an overall including more information about the scene with a police vehicle and school bus in the background.<br /><br />The verdict...image (2).<br /></div></div>Greg Pearsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18438156660197655652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840543272522209823.post-84590015209658107692009-12-16T08:32:00.001-06:002009-12-16T08:33:19.403-06:00InnocenceThere's just something pure and innocent about a kid with a finger in his nose...completely oblivious to the world (and camera) around him and without a care in the world.

Me and night cops reporter Kelsey McKinney headed out. The situation turned out to be minor, so during the 5-minute drive back to the paper I decided to play around with the ISO settings on my new D700.

Sometimes they lead to awesome, once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Sometimes, I get to shoot the scoreboard at an area high school. This was a scoreboard-at-an-area-high-school kind of day.<br><br><img style="width: 500px; height: 500px;" src="http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l148/horvy81/121109SHRscoreboard1.jpg" /><br /></div>Val Horvathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10058785663825103145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840543272522209823.post-45957514507938903842009-12-09T15:03:00.002-06:002009-12-09T15:07:26.587-06:00"A bear just passed us"<img src="http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt117/timesimages/Dogs.jpg" width="800px" /><br /><br /><br /><br />I Shot an assignment this morning with students from Eighty-First Street Early Childhood Education Center during a Christmas gathering with residents at The Glen Retirement System in Shreveport. My favorite photo from the assignment was of Zipper and Connor, both therapy dogs for residents, who were patiently waiting for the kids to arrive.<br /><br />It was chilly and some of the workers were dressed up as Elves and went outside to greet the 180 or so kids arriving by bus. As the end of the group walked into the building I heard one of the kids say "A bear just passed us". The elves looked at each other and I looked at the elves. Everyone confused, especially me without my elf costume. <br /><br />Then I saw the woman who just had walked by us while entering the building...............wearing a full length fur coat! <br /><br />It made my day.Hudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18040242738001178928noreply@blogger.com0
