Bucket List

Since I was young I loved Photography. In High School I was on the yearbook staff as a photographer. I took one semester of Photography at our local junior college. I even took an online course. Jennifer and I had a dream of having a business doing freelance and maybe even some studio work. We spent alot of time together shooting photos at the beach, zoo where ever.
A lot of time has gone by but something I always wanted was to shoot something that would be published, you know a shot in a newspaper story, magazine, whatever.

Yesterday our state side director for CCH sent an email saying that they had been contacted by NBC asking if any of their people in Haiti had photos of the violence thats going on because of the election.
I took one of my security guards and off we went on a moto to get some pictures. We were able to get into the middle of a large demonstration, and I shot several photos. Some people in the crowd were becoming irritated by my presence, more like they didn't want to be photographed, so we moved on.

We sent the photos to our Director in the states, she called this morning and said that CBS news wants to use the pictures and was that ok.Of course I had to think about it for 1/2 a second.
I just thought it was kind of fun, to finally check something off of the Bucket List thats been on it for so long.
