This summer, I was lucky to get the News21 fellowship at Columbia. I worked with 10 of my peers under a great crew of editors. We produced several multimedia packages on Aging in America. It was a great experience that even afforded me the opportunity to travel to Montana to shoot some video. Yesterday, the [...]

"Truth to Power"

June 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Journalism, Manhattan, Multimedia

If I had to name the piece of work that I am most proud of from my time at Columbia, I would tell you without a doubt that it was “Truth to Power.” Actually, hypotheticals aside, “Truth to Power” is my proudest moment from my time at Columbia. My partner, Evan Wexler and I, were [...]

The Daily Show

April 28th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Humor, Journalism, Photos

Today, I did this: Several J-school friends and I went to a taping of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Strictly no cameras in the studio so an awning shot will have to suffice. The man is really good at his job. He did the whole show in one take. It must have been an [...]

I traveled to Staten Island today for the first time. My partner, Evan Wexler, and I are setting the groundwork for a documentary we will be shooting about members of the Tea Party movement on the island. We took the ferry from the tip of Manhattan. Now, after seven months, I’ve set foot in all [...]

I got a call just before midnight last night. It was CJ, with whom I have been spending lots of time for my master’s project on pit bulls in New York City. His oldest (and dearest) of his two dogs, Snow, had been peeing a lot and he had just passed it off as a [...]

Busy Saturday

I had a good Saturday. Very busy. Slept in. Went for a run. Met up with Fred. Biked to Central Park. They had a rail jam going on. Fred indulged in some swag. This woman was grooving to the tunes supplied by the Red Bull mobile sound system. She had moves. Next, we cruised to [...]
