Associated Press

(CD)See You Later

Yesterday I got a call from the AP asking if I could shoot a last minute press conference at the CDC about H1N1 (Swine Flu).  It was an unexpected, but very pleasant surprise so I packed up my gear and headed over to the facility located on the Emory campus.

The thing about press conferences is that the photos are usually boring, straight up shots of people talking.  These aren’t any better, but I usually make a game out of it and try to see how many different compositions I can come up with.  I get some interesting ones that I don’t think would ever run, but I like them none-the-less.

And sometimes you just like the way the light falls on someone.
