Today I drove down to Anniston, Ala., for an interview for an internship they offer. On the way there I got a call from them asking if I could shoot a follow up one of their writers was doing about the tornadoes that had gone through a nearby city on Sunday.
They specifically wanted photos of this family because apparently they had run a daycare out of their trailer.
