Two Years in Review

On March 1, 2007 I began work as a full time Photojournalist here at the Idaho Press-Tribune. Two years have now passed in what seems to have been the proverbial blink of an eye. For most, two years is not considered a great deal of time to be working in one place and I would generally agree, however, in two years I have seen so much that it almost seems unbelievable to me that it hasn't been longer.

In this position I have had the opportunity to witness the very best and the very worst in people - occasionally in the same day - as well as many moments that fall somewhere in between.

There have been rodeos and carnivals, parades and high school, college and semi-pro sporting events. There have been hectic days that seem to go on forever and slow days with nothing but a ball game on a sunny Saturday afternoon that seem to go by far to fast. I've watched as sprint boats race around waist deep water and I have seen rodeo cowboys hang on for dear life in a battle between man and beast. Along the way have gotten to know many people both young and old who, under normal everyday circumstances I may never have met.

Everyday has been different and as I look forward to my third year and beyond I can only hope that the daily routine continues to be anything but routine.
