Hey all. I’ve been really busy the last couple of days with something that I ended up involved in that has become HUGE for me. I happened to be in the right place at the right time on Monday afternoon and as I waited for my friend to join me for lunch, there was a shootout in the parking lot of the restaurant.

Guess who had their camera.

It’s been very hectic - basically I shot some really good photographs that ended up running 4-5 columns on the front page of the Sacramento Bee (the major paper here in town) as well as back page, the Associated Press (allegedly - I haven’t yet seen it or heard from them) and one of the television stations here in Sacramento. I even had a piece written about me in the Sacramento Bee and a piece about my photographs that opened the local television news.

I barely had time to shave this morning.

I’ll get into what happened sometime in the next day or so, but let me just say something here and, please, listen to what I say:

Keep your camera with you at all times! You never know when something big will happen!
