That is quite a story. I'm sure Betsey would love to hear that you still remember some of those important tidbits from her class. I also looked at some of your photos of the candlelight vigil. Those turned out pretty good, too. Had you covered other vigils or memorial services before? Do you ever encounter problems with people not wanting you to be there, since it can be such a personal and emotional experience? Wow. That is quite a story.

I wonder who he was on the phone with ... and what he was thinking ... (especially, considering the odd reaction that Elliot Davis got from the family). I have a BA in Photography from Webster, and I'm a friend of Kristen DiFate's, anyway, she showed me your website today. You are an inspiration to tired photographers like myself. I seem to have forgotten how to "see" in the last several years. I jokingly refer to myself as a "snappographer"--a term I coined for someone who puts the fancy camera on auto and just starts snappin' away. I used to be more of an artsie-fartsie fine art photographer when I was a student in the mid 90's, but now I am more drawn to your style of photojournalism. Thanks for sharing on your blog!
