On my way to an early afternoon assignment, that ended up producing some rather pedestrian images, I saw a bright flash of light that caught my eye. I quickly pulled into a parking spot on Tejon Street and walked over to what turned out to be a guy welding a new entrance outside of a shoe store. I thought that it would be perfect for a standalone daily feature for the Metro section of the paper and worked the scene for a few minutes. The image isn't anything spectacular but is something that I'm looking for while out and about in the city.
I have prep volleyball tomorrow that is supposed to include two powerhouse teams which should be fun. The staffers each have a D3 on loan from Nikon Professional Services until October 6th and since Kirk is working the desk tomorrow I'm going to try and borrow his D3, bring a 400 and see what I can do. If not then I'll be bringing strobes to the gym so either way the files should look nice and crisp.
The Metro section also needs a strong daily feature to run on the cover so I'll be cruising the city looking for something in good light after volleyball. Tomorrow is another unknown day as a photojournalist and I can't wait.
