CONECT takes action on healthcare system woes
On March 3rd, CONECT's Healthcare Team took action to demand better performance and accountability from officials at Access Health CT, at the state Department of Social Services' Medicaid office, and from the state Healthcare Advocate. 50 CONECT leaders turned out and heard moving stories from four people who have struggled with the new healthcare system. State Sen. Gayle Slossberg, chair of the Human Services Committee, and Sen. Joseph Crisco, chair of the Insurance Committee, both attended and praised CONECT for its action on these issues.
On March 4th, Rev. Anthony Bennett, pastor of Mount Aery Baptist Church and co-chair of CONECT, departed for Germany as part of a multi-state Metro IAF delegation taking action on gun violence. On March 5 & 6th, in Nuremberg, these leaders set up a booth inside of one of the world's largest gun shows targeting law enforcement buyers as part of the Do Not Stand Idly By strategy to use the public buying power of our cities, counties, and states to press gun manufacturers to invest in smart gun technology and to tighten their distribution systems to cut down on illegal guns flowing into our cities.
In the photo above, Rev. Timothy Jones, pastor of Community Baptist Church in New Haven, together with other CONECT Clergy leaders says a prayer over Pastor Bennett prior to his departure at the end the March 3rd Healthcare Session.
Blumenthal, Himes Mark March on Washington Anniversary with CONECT
160 leaders from across CONECT and Mount Aery Baptist Church gathered together on Wednesday night, August 28th, to mark the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington. Rev. Anthony Bennett, pastor of Mount Aery and co-chair of CONECT, chaired the gathering, framing the night not only as a chance to remember but also a time to gather strength for the on-going fight for racial and economic justice.
A diverse group of six leaders shared stories and reflections with the gathering:
- Ms. Dorcas White, a member of Mount Aery and a veteran of the Civil Rights movement,
- Rabbi Jim Prosnit, a leader with CONECT from Congregation B'nai Israel in Bridgeport,
- Ms. Therese LeFever, a leader with CONECT from St. James Catholic Church in Stratford,
- Mr. Alan Feldman, a leader with CONECT from Congregation Beth El in Fairfield,
- Ms. Jeimy Zepeda, a leader with CONECT from St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in New Haven,
- Mr. Blair Dawson, a younger member of Mount Aery.
Rev. Bennett and Mr. Donald Day, a long-time Mount Aery member and retired Bridgeport firefighter, then raised two current-day concerns for US Sen. Richard Blumenthal and US Rep. Jim Himes:
- How will they respond to the recent Supreme Court ruling striking down sections of the Voting Rights Act?
- What would they do to rectify the seemingly biased system of jury selection here in Connecticut?
Both Himes and Blumenthal spoke and responded, stressing their own desire to rectify these problems and at the same time expressing their realistic sense that both will take a long-term effort to be fully addressed. Blumenthal, attending a CONECT gathering for the first time, recognized the organization and commented how its ability to bring diverse groups together was similar to what made the Civil Rights movement a success.
Rev. Bennett closed out the evening by getting every one on their feet to sing "Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around, " an old Civil Rights song. As CONECT leaders filed out, they reported feeling "energized" and "privileged" to share the meaningful and moving night with such a diverse group. One leader from Westport exclaimed, "we need to do this more often!"

In the News:
CONECT Helps Cut Anthem Rate Increase Down to Size with Public Hearing.
Using a deal CONECT helped forged back in 2011 between the CT Department of Insurance and the Office of the Healthcare Advocate to allow the Healthcare Advocate to call for public hearings for significant health insurance rate increase requests, we were able to push for a public hearing on Anthem Blue Cross / Blue Shield's 12.5% rate increase request. The hearing happened in late June, with our public comments and a story shared by a family from Temple Israel in Westport, and by late July, the Department ruled that Anthem's request was excessive. After revisions ordered by the Department, Anthem's request of a 12.5% average rate increase was revised to an average .1% decrease. Given that this ruling covers some 66,000 policies, it's safe to say we helped save CT consumers millions of dollars.

Darkness Doth Bring Mortality Lyrics - With Passion
You bleed till your blood turns black. Face down on the kitchen floor. Forever your life in hell. You'll see my fate at your hands. You take me to the ocean and give me your hand forever. They years of lifeless love. Your lifeless memory. And the night it comes to tear our blessed hearts apart to the sound of the blade as it's sharpened above this burial that is not empty for long. To say his name in the pace of mine at a time like this.

As with today's social-media free laborers — another set of semi-self-aware spies — their ordinary-schmuck amateurism turns out to be a difference-making advantage that allows them to achieve what professionals can't. Because they work without knowing what they are working on, they can produce untainted results and unexpected innovations without demanding a proprietary interest in them. The fact that they prevail against all adversity not only vindicates the ends-based moral reasoning for setting them up as sacrificial lambs but also neatly foretells of the proletarianization of erstwhile professional vocations.

Our Student Challenge will continue all summer long, and we'll regularly choose a "favorite" student comment to feature. You can still enter this week's Challenge here.
For the week of June 21-27, we've chosen a comment by Briana, a 23-year-old grad student.
Briana begins by saying what many may feel:
"Since the war in Afghanistan has been going on for nine long years, I rarely take the time to read related news anymore. It all seems the same: a mix of government policies and notices of attacks and deaths."
But, she says, in "One Battalion's Wrenching Deployment to Afghanistan," reporter James Dao "shows us real people with real identities" and makes the news mean something to her:

This campground is a hidden jewel. There are plans for a Phase II in the future. The owner has put a lot of work into it and it shows. He will even come to your campsite and blow the leaves off with a blower if you desire. He patrols often with a golf cart. Site pads are all gravel as is the interior roads. All sites have picnic tables. A couple of sites have a nice swing with a concrete pad. Lots of shade trees. Satellite access can be iffy but you must choose your site. Verizon access is excellent. Some are more level than others. Pull through sites are long. Office is brand new and has a small meeting room with kitchen facilities. Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. I could go on and on but enough said. We love it here and will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We really enjoyed this park. It is very new, and the owners are extremely nice and accommodating. They came by twice during our first few days to make sure everything was okay for us. Almost all the sites are long and wide, with lots of room between them. All roads and sites are covered with a thick layer of gravel. Utilities are nice and new, and the water faucets are enclosed in tall PVC pipes - which I assume are insulated - and the pipe is designed so campers can hang their unused hose on it so it doesn't lie on the ground. The final touches on the bath house are still being completed, but it was open and usable when we were there. Very, very nice inside. The campground is just three easy miles from I-40 and only about four miles from downtown Mebane, which has some interesting shops and restaurants. Right at the interstate exit are outlet stores, restaurants and a Wal-Mart and Lowe's Foods grocery store. The campground is also in a convenient area for visiting Chapel Hill, Durham and Raleigh. We will definitely camp there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a great RV Park. Sites are level, clean, and all utilities are very well situated. We only spent one night, but will be back as this park is a good "first days drive" from home in Virginia during our treks south. Host are friendly and helpful. Great Experience! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The owner met us after hours at our site to assure we were comfortable. The property is new and the owners have spare no expense. It is obvious they truly care about the place. Close to history, wineries yet still secluded. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Electricity is in addition to monthly rate stated. This park was a wonderful "find" for us as it is new and only 4 miles from our son. It is 3 miles from Route 40/85 so it is easy to commute to other areas such as Duke in Durham and UNC in Chapel Hill. Mebane itself has great shopping and restaurants within 2-3 miles from campground. Water here excellent quality. Contaminate level equivalent to bottled water. Trash pick-up at site. Our AT&T and Satellite TV worked well. Excellent WIFI. Fire Pits and New Picnic tables at each site. Many shaded sites and some open sites (which we perfer). Nice new play area for children. New bath house in process of being build. Owners very personable and helpful. We will definitely return here when we come to this area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

$15 + elec based on monthly rate. This is a great park and no train noise. It is 10 mins from I-40/85 & easy to find. Mebane is a charming town ideally located between Burlington and Chapel Hill/Durham (15-20 Mins). Pilot & Flying J, Tanger Outlet Mall, Walmart & Lowe's food, several good restaurants are very close. Alamance Urgent Care & Duke Primary medical care available. The owners are the best; friendly, helpful, and responsive. Sites are blue stone. All sites are nice, long, and level. The utilities are new so they are clean. Excellent WiFi is better than most public systems. The park is fairly new so the owners are at the park everyday making improvements. No permanent residents were observed. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The cost per night is $15 plus electricity for a monthly stay. We absolutely loved our stay. The site was large and roomy. As the spring trees came out it was shady. We stayed for 2 months and could not have been happier. The campgrounds is a work in progress as it's brand new but it was exactly what we needed. It's just close enough to shopping and events and just far enough to be secluded and quiet. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Combating the threat from agricultural chemicals
New compliance regulations seek to minimize threat from chemicals used in U.S. agriculture
The final interim rule specified only facilities that possess a chemical of interest higher than the STQ will need to fill out a Top-Screen. "The CFATS program was designed to identify, prioritize and secure truly high-risk facilities. It was not intended to impose regulatory requirements on low-risk end-users, such as farms," he adds.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff says that Appendix A plays an important role in the federal government's effort to make it less likely for terrorists to use dangerous chemicals in attacks.
Enhancing security is the main intent of CFATS. The DHS chose three categories of security to focus on when determining which chemicals would make it onto Appendix A. They are release, theft/diversion and sabotage.
The release category includes chemicals that could release a toxic cloud, a flammable vapor or create an explosion that could affect people within and beyond the facility if intentionally released.
The theft and diversion category includes chemicals that could be stolen and used as chemical weapons or easily converted into chemical weapons or explosives.
The third category, sabotage/contamination, refers to chemicals that, if mixed with other readily available materials, could present deathly consequences to human life and health.
Many agricultural facilities possess chemicals and fertilizers that fall under these three categories.
You may be wondering how all these new regulations will affect your day-to-day operations. For most facilities, such as feed mills, ethanol plants and other grain producers, that question can't be answered until a Top-Screen is filled out and submitted.
According to the final Appendix A of CFATS, facilities in possession of a chemical of interest that meets or exceeds the STQ set by the DHS must submit a Top-Screen online, within 60 calendar days of coming into possession of the chemical.
Following the issuance of Appendix A, legislative developments and unforeseen consequences required further review of the CFATS regulatory framework. The focus is chemicals of interest widely used throughout the agricultural community. To conduct a thorough review of these issues, the DHS granted an indefinite extension for facilities that possess a chemical of interest above the STQ solely for the treatment of crops, feed, land, livestock or other areas of an agricultural production facility.
"The agricultural extension letter provides an indefinite extension for Top-Screen submissions to certain facilities in the agricultural community while the Department develops a successful approach for the agricultural community," says Deziel.
The extension applies to facilities such as farms (e.g., crop, fruit, nut and vegetable); ranches and ranchland; poultry, dairy and equine facilities; turf grass growers and golf courses; nurseries; floricultural operations; and public and private parks.
"The agricultural extension does not apply to chemical distribution facilities, commercial chemical application services, Co-ops or retail supply centers. If a facility or farm possesses a chemical of interest at or above the designated Screening Threshold Quantity for reasons other than those specified in the letter, the facility is still required to submit a Top-Screen to the Department," Deziel says.
The DHS will cooperate with agricultural producers to identify the best ways to regulate frequently used nitrogen fertilizers such as ammonia solutions, anhydrous ammonia and urea.
To determine if your facility is required to complete a Top-Screen form, refer to 72 FR 17688 and 65396 (the agriculture extension letter), on the DHS website at www.dhs.gov.
In addition to the extension, the DHS developed a specialized approach for certain chemicals like propane to accommodate agricultural facilities' needs.
It was one of the most significant changes made to Appendix A based on the public's comments.

Hipster Rain Dance.
To be repeated in toneless refrain whilst standing on your favorite street corner:
"Dear Rain, I like the fact that you have gone away, and allowed me to enjoy my daily activities in dry fashion— which means I won't have to wear that ugly jacket mom bought for me— but I hear that there are some animals and plants and other things that rely on you. I haven't really seen very much of that lately, but I think I remember a chapter about it in my high-school science text book. So, come again some other day, I guess. But only if you want to. PS - I also need an excuse to stay inside for a week and you were pretty good about giving that to me last year. Thnx, Winter/Tucker/Cody & Jade"

Patt Morrison: Owning O.J.
How do you squeeze a dime out of a celebrity? Sue to own one.
SWEAR TO DeMille, this is going to be the most frightening story that Hollywood has come across since the news burst upon El Mundo de Movies that a private eye named Tony Pellicano was supposedly eavesdropping on some quite glamorous and private telephones.
Oh wait, hang on — maybe the second most frightening story. I forgot about the shocking news that the fabulous, dazzling contents of those awards-night goodie bags will henceforth be regarded as taxable income by the Internal Revenue Service.
O.J. Simpson's ex-wife, Nicole — is going after O.J. Simpson, again. Make that, still.
Goldman has pursued his son's justice a lot more tenaciously than Simpson has pursued the "real killer." And Goldman means to squeeze Simpson, using as his "juicer" his share of the $33.5-million judgment that a Santa Monica jury assessed in 1997 when it found Simpson civilly liable for the murders.
But consider: Simpson says he'll never hand over Dime One to the Goldmans. He moved to Florida, where the law protects his half-million-dollar-plus house from court rulings. Even the $25,000 NFL pension check he gets every month is untouchable. Simpson is pretty much non grata here in what the rest of the world insists on calling La La Land, so he's not making movies. (He tried a comeback with a pay-per-view reality show called "Juiced," but the pilot went nowhere.)
So how can Goldman lay a finger on him?
That's the beauty part: Goldman wants the court to award him Simpson's publicity rights: Simpson's name, his image, his likeness — anything that cashes in on O.J. Inc.
Simpson is no golden goose — not any more. But when it comes to residuals, his movies and TV work are still around (what kind of dough are "Circus of the Stars" reruns pulling down, anyway?). His autographs were fetching $100 a pop in Chicago last year, I read.
I said the idea for the Goldmans to get Simpson's publicity rights was an inspired piece of lawyering, but it wasn't a lawyer who dreamed it up. Karl Manders did. He's the head of Continental Enterprises, an Indianapolis intellectual property consulting company.
When I talked to Manders on Wednesday, he told me, "I would give anything to see O.J. Simpson's face" when he heard about this. "It does strike at the heart of what's important to him. Our opinion is: The only thing that's important to Mr. Simpson is Mr. Simpson." If the court grants this request, "every time he signs his autograph, that name is the property of the Goldmans. The moment it comes off the pen, it's no longer his."
Years ago, Manders says, he worked out the deal that let John Wayne give his publicity rights to his children before he died, "so the concept of a person walking around who doesn't own his own likeness is not so strange."
And intellectual property "is property like any other property. It's bought and sold and transferred every day, especially in Los Angeles — that's what the city's built on."
A judge's blessing on Goldman's request might be the scariest sound to come out of Hollywood since the shower music in "Psycho." Whatever Le tout Hollywood might think of O.J., this precedent might make allies out of all the Simpsons — O.J., Jessica and Homer.
Severing a performer from publicity rights is like severing him from himself. The publicity rights, the face, the talent, the investment, that other, eternal self — in the universe of celebrity, it's as much a part of the performer as the soul. That's why Manders calls it "poetic justice."
Imagine it was the other driver who had been killed by James Dean's car on that road near Cholame on Sept. 30, 1955 — and that the money from every James Dean film, every commercial, every product endorsement and Halloween mask and action figure went to pay a judgment for the dead man's estate.
Or, speed ahead half a century. Let's say Paris Hilton's small, tormented pet of the moment happens to take a bite out of you while you're stuck alongside her behind the rope at the MTV Video Music Awards after-party. You sue. She ignores you like the peon you are. Her lawyers ignore you. You go to court for redress and suddenly you own Paris Hilton. Her name, her image, her perfume profits, her CD royalties, such as they are — all yours, until the million bucks she owes you for the coatimundi bite is paid off.
Manders isn't anybody's idea of athletic — a shade under six feet, a shade and then some over 200 pounds. He says he looks like a red-haired Jerry Garcia. His sport in school was chess. But maybe, just maybe, this guy is the one tackler that O.J. Simpson can't outrun.

Haddin says Proteas deserve 'favourites' tag for Test series against Oz
Australian wicketkeeper Brad Haddin has admitted that South Africa are the favourites for their three-Test series starting in Centurion on Wednesday.
South Africa has maintained their number one ranking since midway through 2012, which was no fluke according to the Test vice-captain.
According to Sport24, Haddin said that he believes South Africa is on the top of the Test rung as they have played consistent cricket over a long period of time and have won at home and away, adding that they deserve the tag of favourites.
Stating that it will be a big challenge for Australia to test themselves away from home against South Africa, Haddin said that although their opponents would miss the services of retired all-rounder Jacques Kallis, they can cope without him as they have a very high-class batting line-up.
Haddin however, said that Australia is ready for the first Test despite bad weather affecting their preparations in Potchefstroom last week, as they are enjoying outstanding facilities.
While their dominant 5-0 victory over England in Australia boosted the side's confidence, the real litmus test would be against South Africa, said Haddin.

Question Asked:
When I am accelerating beyond a certain speed (~50 miles), I am hearing a certain noise from the car. When I brake, for example when coming to a stop or light or driving at a slower speed, it stops (or I couldn't hear it). Initially, I could hear it from time to time, but yesterday, I could hear it continuously. I want to know if this is a routine things to happen for Hyundai Santa Fee (2005 model) and if so how to fix it, the cost of fixing etc. If not, any idea as to what could be wrong so that I can get a sense of what the machine shop would tell me and what could be a possible price range for the repair work. Thanks a lot for your advice.
Question Asked:
I had it changed (Hyndai shop advised) when the mileage was 59000.

Bill Gates for La Stampa Italy
This spring has kept me hopping and shooting a lot of new editorial and commercial assignments. I can't share them all yet, but one came in late last month (for the first time ever via LinkedIn) to photograph Bill Gates being interviewed for a large Italian newspaper called La Stampa. The paper is launching a new series about global issues and the wide-ranging interview covered a lot of ground. I was allowed to shoot the first and last five minutes of the interview, for which La Stampa Editor-in-Chief Mario Calabresi flew in from Turin. It was a little surreal to be inside Bill's office at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and hear him speaking about everything from who his heroes are to what lies ahead for the newspaper industry. I did my best to be low-key and inconspicuous as I moved around and tried out different angles. Bill never acknowledged me, but I suspect he is very used to this kind of thing. At one point I was trying to line up a shot from his profile side and almost sat down in his chair — I caught myself and thought better of it. It was one of those crazy days planned for a week and all over in a matter of minutes, I am just happy to see it ran in print today.
You can see more from this shoot at La Stampa's website and in my archive.

Brooks Running Company for Footwear News
In April, I did a shoot about the turnaround at Brooks Running company for Footwear News, a Condé Nast trade publication dealing with the footwear industry. The story is about how after 100 years in business, Brooks CEO Jim Weber has managed to overhaul the company from the brink of bankruptcy into a company that sold a half billion dollars in products last year. It was no easy feat. It required dumping entire product lines, launching new ones, and hiring executives from visionary brands to come work in new divisions at Brooks. Over what became a very long day, I photographed Brooks CEO Jim Weber, as well as Shane Downey, head of the new heritage line, Pete Humphrey and Eric Rohr in the Brooks Running testing lab in the Eastlake neighborhood, and several other employees for a lookback quote section about their experiences and memories at Brooks. The magazine cover story published last month and I am excited to share the tear sheets! It's always a sweet assignment when I get the chance to photograph and meet people who do interesting work in interesting places.

Attorney Adam Ballout for Northwest Leaf | Seattle editorial photographer
Attorney Adam Ballout of the ABC Law Group in Everett has worked to protect parental rights for medical Cannabis patients in Washington since 2011. "Family law recognizes environment above all," Ballout said.
"Do not make it easy for them. Keep your medicine out of reach of children, and make sure that you respect it, and that it isn't affecting parenting. Mentally you should always be prepared to think 'What if I had to give a walk-through today?' There shouldn't be a bong in the living room, or plants growing and smelling in a way that affects children in the house."
Rebecca Howlett for University of Kansas School of Law
I had an assignment in August to photograph Rebecca Howlett, a tribal law intern at the firm Kanji & Katzen, for a recruiting guide published by the University of Kansas School of Law. The piece highlights the great work that KU students do as interns at firms across the country. It just came out and looks great! I was requested to photograph her with a nice Seattle-identifying backdrop, which was easy with the firms's Pioneer Square offices overlooking Smith Tower (the pencil building). To combat the intense overhead sunlight, I had my assistant, David Ryder, hold a reflector scrim over Rebecca to put her in the shade. Then I brought in a beauty dish for the main light and a softbox for a bit of fill, to give the image a fun, dynamic look. The client was happy with the take and Rebecca told me I was easy to work with — that's nice of her since it was about 90 degrees on the roof that day! What a trooper!

City redevelopment for Cityvision Magazine | Seattle editorial photographer
Had an assignment last month to photograph two stories on city redevelopment projects for Cityvision Magazine. The first shoot was a last-minute one on Auburn, Washington's efforts to redevelop unused commercial spaces into art galleries. A sweet idea, especially when you have art like Julia Haack's to fill the rooms. They looked great from the street, too. Wish we could have had more sunshine to really make the art pop but alas, it was a gusty overcast day. You can tell the wind is blowing if you look at her hair, but all things considered, I was happy with the way the shoot went down. And we did it in under the time allotted which is always great!
I was very pleased with tearsheets that came from these shoots! This was one of my first full-page magazine portraits, so that's pretty special. The second shoot was way north in Mount Vernon, Wash., to photograph Mayor Jill Boudreau and Public Works Director Esco Bell. The city is redeveloping the promenade into a cool multiuse commercial space and making the waterfront a more attractive place for the community to hang out. I liked the view of the bridge and Skagit River — not everyday you get to have those in an environmental portrait.

Dead Baby Downhill Bike Race Seattle — Seattle editorial photographer
Sometimes when you hear about an event, you don't care if you cover it for any particular news outlet — you just know you have to cover it! This was definitely the case for the 16th annual Dead Baby Downhill. I learned it was going down a few hours in advance from a friend's Facebook post, and I just couldn't let myself miss it again this year. I arrived well before the race start time of 7 p.m. to try and get a grasp of how the shenanigans would go down. Everyone seemed to know one another and it was quite a raucous event, what with most people sipping from beer cans barely concealed on the sidewalk. I love that Seattle hosts so many of these crazy meetups because it is a chance to catch people with their guard down, when they are truly enjoying themselves. The hardest events to cover are ones where nobody wants you there! Luckily, everyone was having a great time and I hope these images captured the convivial atmosphere.
Thanks for looking!

Emerald City Comic Con 2012 Photos — Seattle editorial photographer
I went down to check out Emerald City Comic Con on Saturday for a fun and exciting self-assignment. It was the chance to explore on my own time and make some different kinds of portraits of the great costumed attendees. Initially, I set up a small studio in the corner of the main lobby of the exhibition area, but decided to try something new. For a few hours, I roamed around with an Alien Bee, Vagabond Mini Lithium battery pack and 46″ Photek Softlighter II on a light stand with the legs folded up. Despite negotiating the large setup through a crowded environment, my biggest challenge was just making natural pictures. Everyone, understandably, wanted to give me their best pose — something usually that they have just done for ten other people — and that couldn't be farther from what I sought to shoot.

2011 Portraits of the Year — Seattle editorial photographer
Hello folks,
I know it is a few days into 2012 but I wanted to share some of my favorite portraits from the past 12 months. Portraiture is something I really enjoy because it can be such an intimate experience — or, in contrast, something very fleeting. It's a total dance photographers do with their subjects. We are trying to elucidate a story visually, and make a connection with people. We want that glimpse at soul. Sometimes it is a delicate thing to do — but I love it.
It's always a thrill to set up my lights (or recognize great natural light and rock that instead!). You're trying to turn an unknown environment into something storytelling.
I have been fortunate enough this year to work with some fantastic new clients, such as DataSphere, the New York Post, Cityvision Magazine, Financial Advisor Magazine, The U.S. Department of Energy and Northwest Leaf and Seattleite. My assignments represent a huge gamut of subject matter, but I love thinking on my feet and bringing my own photography style to whatever I shoot — that's part of the wonderful challenge of working with clients.
And to that end, I wanted to share a little bit of the back story behind my favorite portraits this year:
DataSphere, a Bellevue-based internet advertising firm, hired me to make portraits for their website. The client wanted to showcase their fun, unique corporate culture, for recruiting and marketing purposes. Along with my faithful assistant Mark Malijan, I photographed more than a dozen setups in a day all across their expansive three-floor office. It was a rush but a lot of fun to take my style and apply it to the client's needs. I don't think I will ever get the chance to set up an employee shot like the guys at the arcade one again. It was such a blast and definitely stands out as a very memorable assignment, this year and in my career as well.
One of my most high-profile shoots of the year came completely out of nowhere: photographing Gennette Cordova for the cover of the New York Post, back in June.
The cover image – I guess I am okay with all the text all over it :)
My friend Stephen Brashear referred the job to me and over the course of a week, I managed to make contact with Gennette and make her picture. This was my first shoot for the Post and I was totally blown away to see it on the cover. I got an email from the picture editor at midnight the day it was to come out. "Berman cover" was the subject line, and I just about screamed. It was my first national cover.
Cordova, you'll recall, was sent a lewd photo by former Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY), in a scandal that became known as Weinergate. Ugh. Name aside, this was a really exciting shoot and to see the cover floating around national media sites like Gawker was another experience altogether. The Post hired me a few months later to cover Amanda Knox's arrival in the U.S. — but more on that in my news photo of the year post coming up.
I have completed eight or nine assignments for Cityvision and it is just so rewarding to be working with them regularly. They run really interesting, informative pieces, that shine line on complicated issues in a relevant way. They do a great job, and my assignments have involved photographing politicians, mayors, and state senators, for stories discussing their governance work. It's neat to meet people with power and try and make the same kind of connection I would with anyone else, to make a compelling portrait.
This was an interesting shoot because it all hinged on access to water — visually it would be tough to photograph a water story without it — but when I arrived, the fountain was turned off! A quick call from the Mayor's PR staff to the control room staff for the arena helped get it turned on just in time. Remaining calm was key, and the mayor was a good sport about waiting for a bit to begin the shoot.
I also photographed more stories on water and on cities being inundated with public record's requests.
My assignment was to photograph Saturna Capital's Nick Kaiser for Financial Advisor Magazine. Saturna Capital has become renowned for their Amana Mutual Funds, which invests according to Islamamic law — and has done very well from their unassuming offices.
I worked with two Alien Bee 800s firing into a simple 40 inch umbrella and a bare 7″ reflector, plus some nice afternoon sunlight fill, to make most of the pictures.
Nick was really generous with his time and worked with me to make some pictures the client and I were happy with. More from this shoot in my recent post: Nick Kaiser for Financial Advisor Magazine.
I also did a shoot this year for Seattleite, an online cultura and lifestyle magazine that started in 2011. The assignment came courtesy a friend of mine, Erik Simkins, working as their photo editor at the time. My task was to photograph Jay Friedman for a story about his food lecture series, Sexy Food. He uses humor to make the connection between the things we eat and the stuff we enjoy. I wanted to make a portrait that captured that same fun quality. We shot inside of a beautiful old classroom on the University of Washington campus. No assistant for this one, like on most of my shoots, but atleast I got a workout dragging my lighting cases up three flights of stairs. No elevator. The new client was happy and I made some pictures I am happy with too, and that's all you can ask for right?
I had an SB-800 firing into Photek Softlighter II up high and above him, with a bare sb800 firing for the rim-light in rear.
This is the one the mag ran online.
Sometimes the best assignments are the ones we take on for ourselves. It's important to try out new ideas, test new techniques, and cover the events we want to cover — even if no one is footing the bill. Sometimes we are fortunate for a client to license personal work after the fact; but that's not the goal. I do self-assignments to keep me sharp for when the phone rings. It keeps my portfolio current and lets me push new work out more than waiting for assignment work. It's fulfilling and a big part of my personal goals for 2012.
The Emerald City Comicon was a self-assignment that ended up being licensed for SeattlePI.com. But before that happened, I bought my own ticket, rolled all my lighting gear through the concourses and hoped to heck nobody was going to ask me to leave. I set up in an empty corner of a well-trafficked area of the main room, and looked around for interesting people to photograph. There was no shortage. In contrast to most portrait shoots where I have between 5 and 50 minutes to photograph someone, I spent only a minute or two with most of these Comiconners. I think it kept them authentic. The hours I put into the shoot paid off because it was a great day.
I also went down to Occupy Seattle and made some simple portraits of some of the protestors. I wish I would have been able to go back down, but other assignments and work kept me away. Even so, the windy, blustery evening I spent down there was informative and useful. I made some pictures I am happy with and can at least say I photographed a little bit of a very important movement, in my own backyard.
I also did a lot of assignments for a Seattle-based publication called Northwest Leaf that deals with medical marijuana patients and the industry. It has been so eye-opening to have the access I do on these shoots, and it pays off, because I am making images that are not being made anywhere else. I am getting a grounds-eye view of this burgeoning movement, and I am excited to see where it takes me next year.
This was such a simple lighting setup. Just a single 45″ Photek Softlighter II off to my left, in close to the subject, on about 1/4 power. No fuss, no muss, just nice soft light that let more attention go to the stuff in his hands…
2011 has been a great learning experience. I really pushed myself, fell some times and grew stronger from those mistakes. It's only a mistake if you can't learn from it, I feel. I just want to keep driving towards my goals and keep learning and growing with my photo family, as my buddy Pittsburgh photographer Jared Wickerham said so aptly. 2011 has been a great year, a fulfilling year and probably one of my strongest years. You have to really want it in this business, and I think about that everyday. I am so blessed to be doing what I love and know the amazing people I do these days in Seattle and across the country. The kinship and community in photography is like none other!
Thanks for looking, and if you made it this far, thanks for joining me on this journey.
The Seattle stop of The Flashbus Tour
I can't stop thinking about my 9-5 shift in the office of David Hobby and Joe McNally at the first stop of The Flashbus Tour in Seattle. It took place over the course of a far too nice day out at the Washington State Convention Center on Friday Mar. 11. It should be said, upfront, that this was an unapologetically geeky event. Hobby, wearing his trademark shorts, came out to the greet those waiting in line. There was nary a camera-less hand in sight among the predominantly male crowd.

Botchford: The role of Sedin sidekick filled once again
Radim Vrbata the latest winger to get a chance to produce as the twins' linemate
Jason Botchford, The ProvincePublished: Thursday, July 03, 2014
No wonder Radim Vrbata passed up on longer-term offers to sign with Vancouver.
Not only does he get to join the Canucks and get paid $5 million a year to do it, he gets membership into an exclusive club.
Well, it's actually not all that exclusive.
Radim Vrbata, right, picked the Canucks out of his numerous suitors partly because he would get the chance to play with Henrik Sedin, left, and his brother Daniel.
Christian PetersenEmail to a friendPrinter friendly
It seems every winger the Canucks bring in gets promised a spot with the Sedins at some point.
Go down the list - and it's a long one - and it includes Jan Bulis, Pavol Demitra, Mikael Samuelsson, Steve Bernier, Taylor Pyatt and even Zack Kassian. And more.
It's become a rite of passage in the Lower Mainland. And for many of those guys, it's felt like a hazing.
Vrbata is the latest player enticed to Vancouver, at least partly, with a sugar-plum pledge that he could be the next winger who gets the coveted role of riding saddlecar with the twins.
Vancouver GM Jim Benning, who has yet to run into a question he doesn't answer openly and honestly, admitted he was chasing Vrbata because he believes his right-handed shot and adoration for shooting pucks is a fit with 22 and 33.
"He's smart, and he can jump into the hole," said Benning. "I think he'll fit in with them given his skill set.
"At the end of the day, the coach will make that decision, but I think he's a good fit."
The numbers back Benning up. The Sedins could use a shooter with a right-handed shot, especially on their power play.
With his 263 shots, Vrbata was 11th in the NHL. His ten power play goals tied him for 13th. This is promising.
Many have been hoping that Kassian, the Canucks' best young forward, would get his chance to play with the twins, after scoring 13 even-strength goals, third on the team. He did it playing in a defensive, third-line role for most of the season, and most impressively, with Brad Richardson as his centre.
Vrbata, by the way, scored 10 even-strength goals last year.
But Kassian is again going to have to get back in line.
For the past four years, riding shotgun with the Sedins has been Alex Burrows territory.
In a four-season stretch from 2009-10 to 2012-13 he averaged 30 goals over 82 games. It earned him, and he did earn it, that four-year, $18 million contract he's one season into.
After he signed it, however, he had a season nightmares are made of. His foot broke on the first game, then he had his jaw broken. As if that wasn't enough, he suffered a sprained hand and then hurt his knee at the world championship.
When he was healthy, he played like he had a fanny pack filled with black cats, broken mirrors and chain letters he failed to respond to.
He got in 49 games, firing 104 shots on net, but scored just five goals with a ridiculously low 4.8 shooting percentage.
He will not repeat that performance. But can he ever score 20-25 goals again if he's not playing with the Sedins?
We may soon find out.
"We want to have scoring depth, and if we can move Alex from our first line to our second line, it makes our second line better," Benning said. "We have (Nick) Bonino, who had 22 goals last year. I don't know what the coach is thinking on the other side, whether it's going to be (Zack) Kassian or (Jannik) Hansen.
"That will be up to him to decide.
"But I think now, we have depth at the forward positions where every line can contribute in the scoring, and that's one of the things we set out to do."
Benning said his focus now moves on to signing his restricted free agents, Kassian, Chris Tanev, Linden Vey and Yannick Weber.
"We're probably going to go into the season with this team," Benning said. "We're going to see where we stand and go from there."
The Canucks did lose Mike Santorelli, who signed a one-year, $1.5-million deal in Toronto.
Benning said he made a choice between Vrbata and Santorelli and the team wasn't likely ever going to sign both.
"We were in contact with his agent throughout the whole process," Benning said. "We just felt Radim was a more consistent scorer, and he's done it over a longer period of time."
NOTE: The Canucks announced they signed Utica defenceman Alex Biega.

a friend greeted me today
and added "May death come swiftly to your enemies."
can i just say
best birthday greeting ever
Hey Bessi!
Belated Happy Birthday!
Hey, hey Bessi! Remember when Ivan forgot to buy you a souvenir? Remember when you said you will have his children?
Bessi! You reminded me of Rumpelstiltskin. I remember I said that. And now it makes it a whole lot funnier.
And you'll be all,
But you understand all my random fandomness and fandom randomness, so here's a gif of Zuko taking off his shirt.
Happy Birthday again!

Luigi Moretti's Bonifacio VIII baths in Fiuggi

Date Published: Oct 2013
Stock Code: 79739
Binding: Paperback
Total votes: 0
One of the last works from Luigi Moretti tells us many things about his final approach to one of the most actual themes studied by the architects of the XXI century: the landscape. Here Moretti succeeded to have a fusion between "subject" and "object" designing a building whose aim is to disappear, to become landscape itself. No surprise until we see that our architect work crosses many different historical periods keeping quite unchanged his method: from the fascism to the Seventies Moretti was coherent. From the Classical monumentalism of the fascist period to the baroque approach of the Fifties his work has always moved to the direction of perception of space more than mere formalism. The Guendalina Salimei's book reveals, for the first time, how one of the main instruments for the project is the "section". Taking the Michelangelo's lesson, all the masses float above, leaving the ground express as a free form of art.

SQUEAKY CLEAN: The Farm Shampoo
Just came back from a short vacation at The Farm, San Benito, Batangas. It was very relaxing… The Farm is a spa and wellness center tucked within the forest of Batangas. I didn't think that I would bring home any goodies from there, but, alas! I have found my perfect shampoo!!!
The Farm Shampoo is made from coconuts, right within the complex, I believe. This shampoo was part of the toiletries kit in our bathroom. I tried it the first day, and I just fell in love! My hair was squeaky clean, and it didn't become oily towards the end of the day. (That's usually my problem with shampoos… My hair is very fine, and any excess moisturizer or conditioner makes my hair oily and limp :( I found another shampoo that I like, but I'll blog about that in a different post.) Anyway, I searched the gift shop for the shampoo, but they didn't sell it commercially. Finally, as we were settling the bill, I had mentioned my concern to the front desk, and to my delight, they accommodated my request to buy shampoo!!! I was ecstatic, and my wonderful husband bought me 5 liters of shampoo!!! Woohoo!!!

Combining a lightweight telemetric mobility sensing system with nightly
EEG-sleep recordings, the authors obtained continuous monitoring of
rest-activity cycles among psychiatric patients hospitalized for primary
depression or acute schizophreniform thought disorder. The patients with
primary depression had a significantly higher percentage of their total
24-hour motor activity distributed during the night. Furthermore, this
increased nocturnal motor activity did not correlate significantly with
concurrent EEG-sleep measures of wakefulness. Indeed, the best predictors
of wakefulness were measures of daytime activity. This desynchronization of
sleep and nighttime motor activity in primary depression may explain the
need for combined pharmacotherapy in some severely depressed patients. The
authors suggest that expressing activity as a percentage distribution
function, rather than in terms of absolute amplitude, provides an objective
diagnostic index of depression.

Triumph 675 wins AMA Moto-GT1 championship
Triumph-owned Triumph Daytona 675 have been awarded this year's AMA Pro Moto-GT1 class series championship. The team's second place finish at New Jersey Motorsports Park gave them a 35-point lead in the season's point standings, which allowed them to mathematically clinch the series title.
"After the first few rounds, it looked like we would have to win every race just to have a shot at the title. Then we won at Barber and a number of other teams had some bad luck, which helped put us back in the game," said Mark Crozier.

British Tibetan Buddhist monk self-immolates in France
As Phayul.com reported yesterday, "a British national Tibetan Buddhist monk has self-immolated within his monastery premises in France Thursday afternoon.
"Speaking to Phayul, an official of the Nalanda Monastery, Labastide-Saint-Georges in Tarn district of southern France, identified the monk as Tunden, 38." (Click here to read Phayul's report.)
Reason for the self-immolation is at this time unknown. Nalanda has posted a note on its Facebook page that reads, in part:
"Venerable Tunden was 38 years old from the UK, and had been living in the monastery for the last five years. He did not leave any message, and nothing indicated that he was about to carry out such action.
"It seems that he poured a can of gasoline over his body before setting it alight. Unfortunately, the first people and the emergency services on the scene were unable to help. In the current state of the enquiry, it is not possible to determine with certainty what led him to such an extreme act.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to Tunden's family and we are working closely with them to take care of their wishes.
"We will try to keep you updated with any other information including appropriate arrangements.
"Please add Tunden and his family to your prayers and dedications."
