Breaking News - 4 Oakland Cops Shot - 2 of them DEAD - Now 3 Update and story included in link

I am at work and listening to the scanner. There are 4 cops shot and 2 are dead. This is happening in Oakland as we speak. Though I know a lot of people don't like the police they are people too. These are the people who keep us safe. My respects go out to all police officers who protect us and wish the best to the families who have lost loved ones to criminals who don't care who they hurt.

Drumming for a cause



"San Mateo resident Chris Anthony, 43, will perform a drum roll on Saturday, March 21, 2009, that, with a lot of perseverance and a little luck, could last as long as four hours. If he accomplishes his mission, the feat will break a Guinness World Record and raise money for multiple sclerosis."


The captions sums it all up. I shot this again for the Daily News. It was definatly a fun shoot.

"Firefighters move a ladder away from a building where a four-alarm fire broke out early Tuesday morning in Menlo Park. Smoke from the fire was spotted at about 7:45 a.m. at the building located on University Drive and Santa Cruz Avenue. One firefighter had minor injuries."

A fire broke out yesterday in Menlo Park before I even got into work. Though they fire chief told me that the fire was not visible, I would of probably got some stellar photos.



At the scene I was also yelled at by MPPD for crossing the police line... now what type of photojournalist would I be if I didn't??? lol If you are a friend of mine on facebook or myspace go check it out!

Timbers at Earthquakes



I shot my first MLS game last night at Back Shaw Stadium in Santa Clara on Saturday. At first I did not know what to expect.



I heard from some of my colleges that the light there is TERRIBLE for shooting but I think it is just as bad when shooting basketball... just a bit cooler though.



So any way, I arrived at the stadium about an hour early so I can find parking and get set up since I had never been there before... well at least at the soccer stadium.



After the hassle of finding where I need to park I gathered up my gear and headed inside. Once inside no one seemed to know on where we can and cannot stand so that was a bit of a pain as well.



Once the game started I started shooting.









The Earthquakes came away with the win in the final minutes of the game defeating the visiting team 1-0
