Welcome to my photoblogThis is a photoblog of random images from daily life. It started as a WordPress blog, but then I realized the limitations of WordPress for photblogging and decided to give pixelpost a try. I really like it so far. InfoI'm a photographer and web developer living in Sacramento, California. I started out my career working as a photojournalist for a variety of newspapers in Northern New Jersey. Some were staff jobs, others steady freelance clients, some were both. Here is a run down of the Jersey gigs...
In 1993-94 I took a leave of absence from the Record and went to Ohio University to get a masters degree in visual communications. In 1994 I launched my first website called The Photojournalist's Coffee House and moved it to my server here after the internet service provider I was using shut down unexpectedly. The Covington's Homeless section of the site is from images from my masters thesis project. After leaving the Record I went to the Detroit Free Press as a web designer and helped to launch their newspaper website. After two years there I moved back east and took a job as Multimedia Editor at the New York Times on the Web. Always on the go, in 2001 I moved to Sacramento and started working as a freelance photographer and part-time college instructor. I taught photography at Califoria State University in Sacramento and taught some internet classes at a local community college here. In 2003 I began working for the Sacramento Bee as the photographer in the capitol bureau. I was tasked with taking photos to go with stories about politics and public policy issues and worked with a group of 8 reporters in the capitol bureau. About two years later I left the Bee to work as the photographer for California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. I spent 18 months documenting the office of the governor and travelled widely across the state and on a few international trips with the governor and first lady Maria Shriver. In December 2006 I left the governor's office to start a new internet company with a couple of friends. In June of 2007 we launched Muckety.com, a website that specializes in relationship mapping and stories about relationships. In an effort to keep myself involved in photography I do freelance work as well as this photoblog. I hope you enjoy it. /john |
