Day 4 (Weds., June 2)


Today when I walked into the office and showed Al Dia Photo Editor Roberto Sanchez my photo, he wondered why we didn't run it. A similar photo to mine ran on the front page of the newspaper, but it featured only a dark, scary-looking sky. My image was produced close to midnight and the Al Dia press starts running at 9:30, so that's why. If you look closely at yesterday's photo, you will see that there is a lot of distracting things like telephone/power wires. So when Roberto Sanchez told me that it would have been nice not to have them, my goal was to redeem myself and produce a better image. Today, Sal and I got on his Explorer and drove around the city looking for the perfect angle. We found it in Oak Cliff at the Methodist Medical Center. From the top level of its parking structure, this image was made. Today's assignment was going to the Fort Worth Independent School District's Hiring Fair. It was a great experience being that Sal and I were sent together to do the story and photo. The following photo is what will run in tomorrow's paper:

Also, while working on the Hiring Fair photo, I bumped into this funny scene and could not resist to drive back to the office without stopping to get a photo.
