Since November, I had interned at Lens, the photojournalism blog of The New York Times. I just finished this week.  It was a web production internship where I did audio (here and here) and a lot of crowdsourcing.  I was part of the team that did “A Moment in Time,” a crowdsourcing event that had more than 12,000 participants worldwide.

This week, I graduated from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York City.  I have a few career options I am weighing and will update soon, hopefully.

Mine are the Mohawk and Mirror images. Main image by Diego Robles.

The first two weeks of January, I was at the New York Times Institute in Tucson with some excellent journalists from around the country. I got to shoot a lot with one of the Times editors and compete with other skilled photographers.

Here is an audio slideshow fellow student Sal Rodriguez produced of my photos.

Hi,

I just started this multimedia site as a supplement to my photo website.  I appreciate any constructive criticism.  :)

I was writing a story for the Aztec Press on bike safety in Tucson. It took all day to get all the elements right for the shot I had in my head. I saw a girl waiting caddy corner from me at a red light.

I ran across and set up where I wanted to be.

Right after I shot, she came back steamed, “Why did you just take my picture?”

I explained who I was and what I was doing, then I asked her if she was a Pima student. She was and ended up being a significant part of the story aside from being the photo for it.

It’s just great when things fall into place.
