Photojournalism

31 images Created 22 Aug 2008

This is my newspaper photo portfolio. I've been working in news since 1991 and have been on the Masthead as a Freelancer for The Forecaster since 2004.
This gallery includes imagery from years as a midwestern photojournalist, Maine freelancer, and deployments to Africa and Afghanistan.
I would love to hear from you if you feel my skills could meet your needs.

  • September 7, 2008 -- NAS BRUNSWICK, Maine. The U.S. Navy Blue Angels gave a rousing performance to over 100,000 guests on Sunday afternoon at The Great State of Maine Airshow. Their performance on Saturday was cancelled due to low cloud cover. The airshow visited Naval Air Station Brunswick for the last time this weekend, bringing The U.S. Navy Blue Angels, The U.S. Army Golden Knights and a wide variety of static displays and interactive exhibits. The show drew over 150,000 people over three days with no mishaps among the performers and no emergencies among the attendees. <br />
Because NAS Brunswick is scheduled to be closed in 2011 by the Base Realignment Commission, there will not be another Navy-sponsored airshow at this location. Yet, the Local Redevelopment Authority, responsible for managing the property after the departure of the Navy,  has included an airshow on a list of possible future uses for the property.

  • BATH, Maine -- Repaving and Construction efforts on the Bath Viaduct Overpass are at least a week ahead of schedule according to Peter Brown, State of Maine Project Resident. The originally scheduled date of completion was to be May 23. <br />
"The driving surface is actually cement," Brown said on Tuesday, May 1."We're not going to add additional pavement on top of what's here."  While the exact completion date is a function of the next few weeks' weather, the Freeport-based construction crew is nearly completed with finishing the cement surface of the last section of bridge. The cement will take about a week to cure, and lines will have to be painted. Also, because they chose to use cement instead of pavement, the project will come in both ahead of schedule and on budget -- including a speed bonus of $10,000 per day ahead of schedule for the work crew.

  • CHEMERIL, Kenya -- August 15, 2006 --  A camel looks up form his drink from the Chemeril Dam oasis as a local man rides by on his bike. <br />
Nearby, as part of Exercise Natural Fire, over 2000 sheep and goats were vaccinated against Sheep Pox and Pleural Pneumonia today at a Veterinary Civil Assistance Project (VETCAP) operated by U.S., Kenyan, Tanzanian and Ugandan veterinarians and doctors.  <br />
Natural Fire 2006, a 10-day multi-lateral training exercise involving Kenyan, Tanzanian, Ugandan and United States service members, ran Aug. 8-19 and was the largest combined exercise between Eastern African Community nations and the U.S to date. The exercise provided medical, civil and engineering civic affairs programs to rural areas in Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya as well as held military to military training exercises, which helped all participants better respond to humanitarian crises.

  • ARTA, Djibouti -- March 25, 2006 -- Djiboutian Army Sgt. Mohamed Mead Indayar is in charge of the automobile maintenance garage at the Djiboutian military base at Arta. <br />
The U.S. military is providing a two-week auto maintenance training program here. Through a translator Sgt. Indayar said, "I want my men to learn more about engines and be able to see how things work. I would like to have them come to the American camp and see how men work there." Sergeant Indayar took a military training course in auto maintenance from the U.S. Marines in 1996 and has kept up his skills by maintaining the camp's machinery since then. It is challenging for him because he does not have proper tools or access to new parts to replace broken components. Of the ten vehicles in his motorpool, none are currently operational although he has more than fifteen men willing to work on them.

The ECS school is designed to build a basic level of battlefield competence for sailors from the Navy's newly formed Expeditionary Combat  Combat Command  (NECC) community. The students have a wide range of precision modern warfare skills. Because the Navy is supporting missions ashore more than ever, there is a significant need for sailors to gain land-based combat skills. The aim of the school is to provide NECC sailors basic warfighting and survival capabilities. Photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Roger S. Duncan.  (RELEASED)

  • 2/17/11 -- HARPSWELL, Maine. Michael Bernier of Harpswell takes a short break from digging clams in Quahog Bay on Thursday afternoon. He and a small group of diggers cut through the ice at low water with chain saws to dig here. <br />
Quahog Bay was reopened for digging on Feb 11, 2011 after many years of closure, according to Department of Marine Resources Biotoxin Monitoring Manager, Darcie Couture. She wrote, "This area had been closed for many years due to failing water quality, caused by bacterial pollution. A serious pollution source was recently identified and remediated.  The area will close in June for the summer, because unfortunately, this area, like many others on the Maine coast, suffer from the increased pressure of a seasonal summer population, which negatively impacts water quality, and results in many of our shellfish resources remaining closed to harvest during that time."
