As mentioned in a previous post, I was a big fan of the David Burnett’s work and followed the work of other conflict photographers (Burnett shot in Vietnam) like the Peter and David Turnley, James Nachtwey (who I saw speak in San Diego while in college) and others. Despite the sappy love story, I totally dug the movie Under Fire.
Imagine my excitement when I ran across a link to a series on Hulu.com called “In Harm’s Way”. The episode shown below follows two freelance war photographers as they work on stories in the middle east. Very enlightening as this was an area of photojournalism that I was always keen on pursuing before I got married and priorities changed.
I'm a technologist at heart, assisting companies best utilize the Internet to market themselves and sell their products and services online. This includes organizations as large as Google and as small as one or two individuals.
At Over The Top and Exhibit A Communications, I've programmed solutions for Google as well as at least one other company that was later acquired by Google.
I've been CTO of an Internet SaaS company and spent my time pretty evenly between guiding the future technical strategy of the company, architecting software solutions for my dev teams, designing and running a data center to service our clients world-wide as well as being a technical evangalist/sales engineer to our media clients large and small.
I've also been Chief Photographer of the Daily Sun/Post newspaper back when it was a 5-day a week daily newspaper.
I also spent a great many years as a beach lifeguardfor the City of San Clemente as well as Jr. Lifeguard instructor and then as it's program coordinator.
