Photo is Phun

everyday life.

I photographed this pretty amazing man a few weeks ago. He lost his leg in Iraq and after doing some research and persisting the VA, he was given a "smart" prosthetic leg. It is smart because the ankle automatically adjusts and if you saw him walking down the street with pants on, you wouldn't know that he was using a prosthetic by the appearance of his walk. Technology is pretty amazing.

Notice about Mercury Fillings

2008-05-13T22:22:00.004-04:00

I attended a press conference today that warned against silver fillings containing half mercury and being very hazardous to your health. I am just taking their word for it, but it seems worth researching if you have fillings. Here are some images from the conference.

This woman was diagnosed with MS and lupus from mercury poisoning.

label for fillings warning against poison.

A long time coming.

For those of you who know me well, you know that I frequent the Parking Authority and Traffic Court headquarters (or at least their phones). Finally, after over a year, I just got a check from the Parking Authority for being wrongfully towed from a Press Zone. I've blocked out any numbers for my own safety, but damn it feels good to have fought and won.

An interesting article about Journalists

"The wise editor understands that quality journalism requires a bad attitude, foul words, a brawl, and sometimes a drink afterward."

Save these Kittens!

2008-05-06T10:58:00.004-04:00

So there were seven kittens that just popped out of an alley behind my house yesterday. Tesla and I lured them into the yard and after a bit of chasing, I got them all into a box. I took them to the animal shelter at front and Hunting Park where they said they would immediately put them down since they were sick. After causing in uproar in the waiting room with this statement, two nice people agreed to take them home that day and foster them until homes could be found for them. So, if you or anyone you know is in need of a kitten, please e-mail me asap at: krystle.marcellus@gmail.com

The fearless six.

Just a peek, little bit of anger from the one on the left.

number seven, super cute, he got stuck in this hole, but I got
him out. He likes adventure.

What an interesting angle.

Update 15 of 1000

2008-05-01T07:19:00.002-04:00

I made those numbers up, quite obviously. But I did update my portfolio and included a sample of the photo story I am working on at YouthBuild Charter School. I haven't included the sound yet, but hold on tight and it will be up in the coming months as I learn how to edit sound.

Oh Portfolio Updating.

The Democratic Primary has been a very eventful time, especially these past few weeks in Philly. Here are a few images from the day and from Hillary's victory party at the Bellevue.

I always feel for the pitchers when the coach walks out onto the
field to pull them out and they are trying there hardest, but their
arm's just had it.

Mid March Recap

2008-03-20T19:47:00.002-04:00

So since the OurPhiladelphia gallery and my trip to Rochester, I've fallen off of my blog a bit. I will try to get back into it in the coming weeks.

A weekend of renewal

2008-03-18T14:34:00.003-04:00

As in all things, finding inspiration to do new, creative and exciting work within the daily drudge can be a challenge. After attending the Northern Short Course I feel quite inspired to move forward in a more dynamic way. I am including two photos from the conference of the photographers that really blew me away. You can see Olivier Jobard's work as well as Kristen Ashburn's at MediaStorm.org.

I am not sure if I talked about the Youthbuild photo story that I have been working on, but it can be seen every Friday in the Bulletin or in the archived 'special sections' tab at www.thebulletin.us in a sub-par format that is currently being improved.
