Earl

This is my (amelia phillips) favorite image for a couple of reasons...

I had been having a rough day at work and after finishing up late I was on my way to Spanish class. As I rounded the curve to arrive at the school, I see Earl waving his bloody knife in his underwear and mask at people passing by his driveway. I immediately pull over and introduce myself, and for the next 20 minutes he tells me about his costumes, his sister and what he's planning on wearing for the actual holiday, all while warding off the passing cars.

Earl made my month that day. And every time I look at this photo it makes me smile that Earl's favorite holiday is Halloween and he starts dressing up every day a month beforehand in celebration (this was taken October 3rd).

Intro.

Hi, my name is gray, I'm a freelance photographer and assistant in New York City. I mainly shoot portraits of, well anyone really. I grew up in Richmond, Va, and went to school for four years at Rochester Institute of Technology. After graduating I moved to the city to start working. I'm looking forward to the workshop, and meeting everyone. You can visit my website here and see some work. It's due for an update, and will hopefully will be completely reworked before October. And I guess that's about it.

Blearyeyed in Beijing with friends from Eddies

It's day six of the Olympics and I feel like you will on Saturday night at the farm.

It's going quickly. Laura and I have been here for 10 days. Working, and playing nonstop. It's how we roll.




It's a small world. And especially small in the photojournalism community.

First person I spent time with at the press center today was Mark Kettenhoffen---Black team leader--who is here with Nikon.

Then I picked on Martin Gisbourne from Apple who you will all have a chance to learn Aperture from in October.

Then Laura and I had lunch with Andrew Gompert from EPA who is going to be helping out with our team--as he has the past four years.

Yesterday when we rolled onto the bus to head to the table tennis venue I heard a squeal and a very excited " BILLSAN!!!!!!!!" It was Chitose Suzuki, AP's staff photographer based in Hanoi. She was on my EAW team 10 years ago.

I helped her hang a remote in the catwalk. She's going to have to buy me lunch in Vietnam.

EAW is a giant family. Hear me now, and believe me later.

Hello from Indiana

I'm Amanda Lucier, and I'm currently enjoying the unnaturally pleasant weather in Jasper, Indiana. I'm three months into my first internship, and I'll be here at The Herald until January. I grew up in Connecticut, have a permanent address in Seattle, and might finish my master's degree from the University of Missouri sometime in the next seven years. I love coffee, cured meat of all kinds, and can't wait to meet everyone. My current work is on my blog or website.

Hello,

I'm Crystal LoGiudice. I am in my last year studying Journalism at Louisiana State University. I am originally from Slidell, La. though my family now lives in Mississippi. I am currently freelancing around Baton Rouge and New Orleans and I do a good amount of work as a stringer for the Baton Rogue newspaper, The Advocate. I worked for the student paper at LSU, The Daily Reveille, for several semesters where I shot primarily sports. I interned at The Dispatch and Rock Island Argus in Moline, Ill. (also known as the Quad Cities) last summer/fall. When I am not shooting or in class, I teach high school colorguard at a school here in Baton Rouge where I choreograph the halftime show work for the flag and rifle lines. I also enjoy horseback riding when I get a chance to visit home in Mississippi. 

I really look forward to meeting everyone in October!

Hey folks, 

I'm Chris Bergin and I work in Muncie, Indiana at The Star Press... (sounds like the start of an AA meeting) where I have been working here for about two years now. I am originally from Birmingham, England and moved to Indiana when I was nine years-old. I then grew up in Indianapolis and went to school at Ball State University also in Muncie. Like Tim, I interned at the Deseret News in Salt Lake and then went to the Omaha World-Herald. My website is www.chrisberginphoto.com (It's currently having some technical issues but they assure me they are being fixed)

Looking forward to meeting and working with everyone in October.

Cheers,

Chris

Hi all,

I'm Tim Hussin. I was born and raised in Florida, in the Tampa/St. Pete area. I will finish my last semester of school at the University of Florida this upcoming fall. I'm currently at the Rocky Mountain News to intern for the summer. Before this, I was interning at the Deseret News in Salt Lake City for a long Spring internship (Jan-June). Last summer, I interned at the Monroe Evening News in Monroe, Michigan, and before that I worked for the school newspaper (The Independent Florida Alligator) in Gainesville and freelanced for the local paper there (The Gainesville Sun) as well as university magazines. Here is my Web site:www.timhussin.com -- it hasn't been updated in a bit, especially the multimedia. I hope to get to that soon. I've posted most of my recent work on my blog at thussin.blogspot.com

Here is a piece I worked on in Salt Lake: http://deseretnews.com/video/1,5563,402,00.html

I'm looking forward to working/learning with everyone.

Happy to be pink...
