Randomness is Bliss

This weekend I was reminded why I love Photojournalism. For me, it's not the undocumented benefits like media parking, free lunches at ball games or front row access at concerts. Nope, nothing nearly that exciting. In all honestly, I get the most enjoyment from all of the random people that I meet at the random places that I go. In one weekend I've had the opportunity to photograph local politicians, high school athletes and just about everybody in between.




For example, on Sunday I traveled to Boise to cover the unveiling of a 1969 Chevrolet pickup which was fully restored for an 18-year-old Leukemia patient named Jesse. It was pulled together by the Make A Wish foundation in association with a handful of local area businesses. It was neat to see so many people come together and give so much for this young man.



I can't think of that many professions which allow you to experience one person's greatest achievement and another's agony, sometimes in the same day. It is truly a unique profession and to be given the tools to participate is a great honor and responsibility, one which I am very thankful for.

As always, thanks for taking time to check in! Until next time...
