We worked together Thursday covering the arrival of vice presidential nominees Joe Biden and Sarah Palin for the debate at Washington University. It involves shoes and a possible dash of visual smug. Have a look (please!)

Political Loafers, [...]

The Houston Chronicle’s photography staff is doing an outstanding job covering the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, which came ashore at Galveston this weekend leaving a wake of destruction and thousands without homes or power.

in 14 seconds

In fourteen seconds, a police pursuit spanning two states and a bank robbery passes by the eyes. It’s quite a sight for someone who has never actually photographed the actual chase part.
