Three years ago while working at The Journal, I was fortunate to cover the Christmas Tree lighting ceremony at the White House. You can read the article here.
Yep, that's George and Laura Bush.
This was a really cool event to cover. It's a great opportunity to photograph a President, which doesn't come everyday.
I go back to my external hard drives or even negatives and find old images that I have never edited or posted on this blog.
It's been about a year since I traveled to China. I went back to my external HD of my China pics and vids. Here are some I found that didn't noticed before.
I found this image of mine from my old Journal days.
It's a photograph covering Farm Days. Where farmers basically have an open house for families who rarely seen the inner workings of farms (i.e. farm life, where their food comes from). I tagged along with the cute family. I was able to capture this nice image of them at this moment where they were alone together; enjoying the view and country air.
I have been watching the NCAA tourney these past few weeks. WVU has made it to the Elite Eight and faces a tough opponent, Kentucky, this weekend. One the star players for WVU is Da'Sean Butler, a senior power forward who has been the leader for the Mountaineers this season. I remember photographing him in his freshman year during the 2006-07 season for the Journal.
Here is a link to my photos of covering Obama on the campaign trail a week before being elected.

I originally had these photos posted on my facebook, but i wasn't sure the legality of posting them on there and also, i didnt want anyone to take the images. So, i posted on my pseudo portfolio at carbonmade. Giving the copyright to my old newspaper.
Here is a photo of my dad in 2000. I was a senior at high school and it's one of my favorite photos I taken of my dad. It was taken with my old Minolta 35mm. After school, I would occasionally go up to his office and hang out.
His office had huge windows which overlooked the Ohio River. It really great view and a great place to shoot.
