I had the chance to shoot some photos on the set of a short film the other day, and thought I’d share.
I also used the photos in an audio slideshow for work. Ignore that fact that I accidentally used the same photo twice, didn’t notice until just now for some reason. Plan on fixing that.
Oh, and we had our first viral feature at MPR this past week. It’s been linked at many of the heavyweight political blogs, including HuffingtonPost, DailyKos, Wonkette and Andrew Sullivan. Also got linked by Comedy Central, Kottke.org, WSJ.com and many others. Got to give props to my colleague Than, who put most of the clever presentation together.
We had a good week.

Off topic post, but I figured I’d share some photos of my old dog. I had to say my final farewell to the fella since I am moving to Minneapolis and he is staying in Florida with his mom. I’m going to miss the little guy, even though I rarely see him.
A new dog is on the horizon as soon I can know that I have the time for it. According to my book, over a third of the Twin Cities population are dog owners.
OK, back to our regularly scheduled journalism drivel.

While I think MSNBC is going a bit overboard with their coverage and engaging in a fair amount of navel gazing, this is a powerful picture.

We can’t forget that when Laura Bush says that the media “…only focuses on the one bombing a day,” that one bombing could be killing a dozen people or more a day, both Iraqis and U.S. soldiers. All it takes is a little arithmetic to realize why these “one bombings” hold a little more weight and focus than the one school built or purple fingers.
People are dying everyday, none of these deaths should be taken so lightly yet the administration seems to show that they do. They don’t say it, but actions speak louder than words (or lack of action in the case of Walter Reed).
