Each photo story that I bring to the world costs literally thousands of dollars to produce. While transportation to and from remote locations eats up the majority of my budget, I must also pay for food, accommodation, insurance and equipment such as body armor, cameras, lenses, photo storage and equipment maintenance costs.

These photo stories depend on your support and funding. Without your donations these projects will live only in my dreams and not in reality, where the world can see them and be affected by them. If you enjoy seeing this work and believe in supporting truly independent photojournalism, please support it.

The power of the still image to teach, affect and inspire change is truly amazing and people like you make it all possible. Every dollar counts!

You can choose to make a one time donation, or set up recurring monthly payments. If you have not considered recurring monthly payments, these are a great way to fund ongoing projects without putting a strain on your pocketbook. Because documentary photography is my full time job, recurring payments provide a much needed monthly income and let me focus on the issues that are truly important, intead of what subjects will sell to the corporate media

You may use any credit card, debit card or a bank transfer to donate and for recurring payments. PayPal is very secure and you are protected against online fraud or theft

If you feel more comfortable sending a check, just email me for an address

From the official website...

Through a coordinated outreach to celebrants from around the globe—from high school students snapping photos with their camera phones, to amateur shutterbugs toting their digital cameras to the festivities on the Washington mall—the Official Inaugural Book Project brings together the perspectives of tens of thousands of participants and observers of this inauguration.

The best photographs are showcased in a beautiful commemorative Official Inaugural Book, published by Five Ties Publishing. And for the first time, individual amateur photographers across the world were able to participate directly by sending in their photographs to the project's Official Inaugural Photo Gallery—hosted by Photobucket—and create their own customizable print-on-demand inaugural album using Kodak's print-on-demand technology.

In addition to user-submitted images, the commemorative work includes photos from an elite team of award-winning photojournalists led by David Hume Kennerly, a Pulitzer Prize winner who served as official photographer for the Ford White House, and Bob McNeely, who served as President Clinton's official photographer.

Now I was not part of that elite team, but since they where accepting images from everyone else I figured what the hell. So I did some searching and found the contact people for the book and fired off an email pointing them to my images on PhotoShelter.

They were interested and we did some wheeling and dealing since they did not have it in their budget to be paying a lot of money to another photographer that was not on the original team. But being a part of the project was important to me and we were able to reach a satisfactory agreement on compensation.

So long story short, I got 4 images in the book.

Then came the real surprise when I got an email from David Kennerly saying that some of the book images where being considered for an exhibition at the Smithsonian's Museum of American History. Shortly thereafter I was informed that two of my images that appeared in the book would be in the exhibit.

From the Smithsonian email...

As Matthew Naythons of Epicenter may have already informed you, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History has quickly organized a photography exhibition, I Do Solemnly Swear: Photographs of the 2009 Presidential Inauguration, opening to the public April 29th and running through July 12, 2009. One or more of your photographs shared with the Presidential Inaugural Committee have been selected for display in the exhibition and for permanent acquisition by the Museum’s Photographic History Collection. All prints for the exhibition set (20x24”) and donation set (16x20”) have been printed through an in-kind donation by Kodak, through the generous efforts of Bob McNeely. Matthew Naythons and Epicenter will possibly coordinate a traveling version of the exhibition nationally or internationally, still to be determined...

...This donation of 2009 Inaugural photographs continues the Smithsonian’s tradition of collecting for presidential inaugurations. Your images are a significant addition to our contemporary photography and photojournalism collections, and the Museum’s related holdings for history of the presidency.

Now how cool is that.

Anyone interested in a copy of the book can find information at www.obamaphotobook.com.

I was informed tonight by email that the Official Barack Obama Inaugural Book has been printed and is at the bindery. I have the honor of having 4 images in the book along with the images of an elite team of award-winning photojournalists led by Pulitzer Prize winner David Hume Kennerly who served as official photographer for the Ford White House, and Bob McNeely, who served as President Clinton’s official photographer. It is very exciting.

The four images in the book are displayed in this post.

I have also found out that the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History is creating an exhibition of images from the project. Kodak will donate the digital printing of approximately 54 photographs, and the Smithsonian’s exhibition department will curate, frame, and mount the show. The Smithsonian will also have 16×20 print of any exhibition photograph printed for their permanent collection

Hopefully an image or two of mine will be included. How cool is that?

I had just arrived at the office this morning, when the scanner announced a house fire not far from the office. By the time I arrived, the fire department had the fire out and were in the process of securing the scene and looking for hot spots. Thankfully there where no injuries.

I spent most of the time looking for something to show the human element. This is what I turned in for publication.

I was at the Virginia Military Institute Saturday for an assignment for the Associated Press. The assignment was to photograph Army Gen. David Petraeus, Commander of U.S. Central Command, who was delivering the commencement address.

As always the best pictures are on the fringe of the event. I noticed these cadets, who where part of the audience, catching up on some sleep.

I have been working on an essay about the Old Order Mennonites in our area and have been allowed access to a family. It is kind of a delicate situation and line to walk since the Old Order Mennonites are a lot like the Amish in that they prefer not to be photographed. When discussing what I wanted to do with the patriarch of the family, it was interesting that he told me that they would not pose for photos. Of course, I don’t want them to so that is not a problem. But it is as if by posing they are giving permission, which would be taboo, but if I “observe” and take a few photos this becomes something different.

I have been at this off and on for a few months now and I am starting to get some images that I really like. I hope to continue as long as they do not tire of me. Of course I guess I am in a good position since they always call me when something interesting is going on in their lives.

They restored power in the nick of time, but the stage was set. The Richmond Spiders came into Bridgeforth Stadium ranked number one in the CAA standings. JMU held tough and had the lead for about half of the game. Richmond scored with 7:20 left in the fourth quarter to go up by four on the Dukes. JMU then marched down the field and got into scoring position with a first and goal on the 6-yard line with 1 minute remaining. Just like the inflatable mascot at the start of the game, the wind came out of the Duke's sails and the quarterback fumbled on the very next play. Richmond won the game 21-17. As our newspaper's sports editor Chris Simmons said in his column, "The fairy dust that coated the Dukes last season has evaporated."

Even harder can be going to the home of a fallen soldier to do photos of the grief-stricken family. It is a bit easier when you are accompanied on the assignment with the writer. They kind of act as a distraction while you make some images. I think it helps to put the family at ease and they are not as aware that you are there. Being the son of a career Marine who served in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, I always feel a certain bond with these families even though my father came out of the service unharmed. Yesterday I was invited into the home of Kandy Johns, whose son, Lance Cpl. Jordan Lee Chrobot, USMC, 24, was killed in combat in Afghanistan. Chrobot was shot in the chest while on patrol in Helmand province, a Taliban stronghold. I have attended four military funerals and visited the homes of about six families of fallen soldiers. Even though everyone has always made me feel welcome, I do not think I will ever get to the point where I feel at ease intruding into their time of grief.]]> 112 2009-10-13 09:08:03 2009-10-13 14:08:03 open open fallen-marine publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_last 2 _edit_lock 1258152606 idptt_tweeted 1 tweet_this_url www.bit.ly/9xKUBK _clicky_goal a:2:{s:2:"id";s:0:"";s:5:"value";s:0:"";} tt_auto_tweet false tt_auto_tweet_text New blog post: [TITLE] [URL] 2 lynn11471@yahoo.com http://facebook.com/dianalynnhidalgo 68.83.42.60 2009-10-15 12:47:43 2009-10-15 17:47:43 1 0 0 Testimonials http://www.petemarovichimages.com/testimonials/ Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:03:46 +0000 http://petemarovichimagescom.siteprotect.net/?page_id=138 “Pete Marovich's images are successful on many levels. First off, they are visually compelling. Marovich has the eye of a cinematographer and can take an ordinary situation and make something extraordinary out of it. Secondly, Marovich connects with his subjects and through his photography allows others to be transported into their world. Thirdly, Marovich respects the people he photographs. I highly recommend Pete Marovich for any photo-related endeavor.” —Scott Strazzante , Photojournalist , Chicago Tribune
“Pete's one of those lucky people who does for a living what he would be doing with his free time anyway. He's always taking pictures, sometimes you notice he's doing it, but usually you don't. Once when I was writing for the paper where Pete works, we went out to cover a brush fire that was burning along the interstate. It's was pretty common for the summertime and I didn't see even see a story in it. But Pete came back with a picture of a praying mantis, clinging to a guard rail and suffocating in wafts of smoke. Now my editors wanted a story, you know, so they could have something to run with the photo. The bastard.” —Dave Reynolds , reporter , Star-News
“I very much enjoy working the Pete. He is knowledgeable, professional and always a gentleman.” —Jody Grober , 'super model" , Roberts Dist., LP

“Pete is a talented photographer with a great vision” —Russell Kirk, Owner, Golflinks Photography

Thankfully it only came down for a short time. Then one of the brightest rainbows I have seen appeared. Then came the double rainbow. The second band of color was not as easy to see or capture in camera, but there is a hint of it in the image. There was a lot of time to make some photos of the rainbows over the midway. This was one of my favorites and actually an accident since this lady was simply walking through my frame.]]> 150 2009-10-13 11:49:13 2009-10-13 16:49:13 open open midway-rainbow publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_last 2 _edit_lock 1258152735 idptt_tweeted 1 tweet_this_url www.bit.ly/aUtUlP Tea Party March on the Capitol http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2009/10/14/tea-party-march-on-the-capitol/ Wed, 14 Oct 2009 17:06:09 +0000 http://petemarovichimagescom.siteprotect.net/?p=171

It was a crappy overcast day but I noted the mile marker so I could  stop on the shoulder on the way back. The stark contrast of the forest and the bare rock dwarfing the heavy equipment being used to destroy the landscape is stunning to me.

To Crop or Not to Crop http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2009/10/28/to-crop-or-not-to-crop/ Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:08:00 +0000 http://petemarovichimages.com/?p=260 Sports Illustrated always wants the full-frame unaltered raw image file. So that was what I sent them after the game when I saw I had something they may be interested in for a "Leading Off" spread. Luckily they like it and they used it. But they did crop into it as you can see below. SI-JMUspread Another recent cover is the subject of a discussion on Sports Shooter. It is a photo by Bob Rosato from the Saints vs Dolphins game that appears on the November 1 cover of Sports Illustrated seen below: [caption id="attachment_264" align="alignnone" width="442" caption="© Bob Rosato/Sports Illustrated/Getty Images"]© Bob Rosato/Sports Illustrated/Getty Images[/caption] Because most sports photographers hold shooters for SI in high regard (including myself) because of their talent and the fact they get to shoot for the holy grail of sports photography, many would think that this was also full-frame, or at least close. In fact it was shot pretty wide and as a horizontal. See below: [caption id="attachment_265" align="alignnone" width="594" caption="© Bob Rosato/Sports Illustrated/Getty Images"]© Bob Rosato/Sports Illustrated/Getty Images[/caption] I think this is a valuable lesson for struggling beginners who try to capture this kind of end-zone shot with a tighter lens and not having much luck. Shooting it a bit looser betters your odds and gives you more options. One last example comes from an old friend from my days of shooting professional golf.

Thursday's funeral was for  5-year-old Kaylee Whetzel. Friday morning's funeral was for her mother, Allaina Taylor, 39, and the afternoon funeral was for her stepfather Dennis "Chip" Taylor, 36. The three were found murdered in their Mathias, W.Va. home on Oct. 23 .

Following the shooting, the home was set on fire in an attempt to cover up the crime, deputies say. Dennis Taylor's ex-wife, Lorie Ann Taylor, and her new husband, Nakia Heath Miller, both 34, have each been charged with three counts of murder and one count of arson. Deputies say Lorie and Dennis Taylor had been involved in a heated custody battle over their three children.

As a photographer you don't want to be there intruding into a family's grief. And even though I have never attended a funeral that we did not have permission from the family to cover, there are always mourners that look at us as ghouls and would prefer we had not come. It is a very delicate and fine line to walk. Every move you make is seen and every click of the shutter is heard. Of course I try to be as quiet, unobtrusive and respectful as possible. I don't think I shot 75 frames between the three services. I hope that the photos that I take and the newspaper publishes are found to be sensitive and respectful to the family and our readers.

I love to see the kids trick or treating in their cute little costumes. And I am fascinated but the overall creepiness of the holiday. But I have never been much for dressing up and going out on the town. But this Halloween my wife Jenny and I decided to venture out into the night. Jen did the little Catholic schoolgirl with a naughty twist and I lamed out and went as a photojournalist. But I did try to style it in the David Alan Harvey motif. I think I really needed to shave the head to make it work, but it wasn't going to happen.

Jenny wanted to dance and we knew it would be a great place to people watch. We were not disappointed.

Virginia actually has some sort of election every year. This year was the Governors race along with Lt. Governor, Attorney General and a bunch of Virginia House of Delegates Races. With elections being held so often it can be hard to come up with fresh images of an event that almost always looks the same. I find that patience and just hanging out at a polling location is the best way to handle it. I am not saying it will always work out successfully, but sometimes the challenge alone can be rewarding.]]> 316 2009-11-04 09:25:07 2009-11-04 14:25:07 open open election-day-2009 publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock 1257961227 _edit_last 2 idptt_tweeted 1 tweet_this_url www.bit.ly/bMgKxN James Madison - Maine Football http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2009/11/07/jmu-defeats-maine-22-14/james-madison-maine-football/ Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:49:58 +0000 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/jmu-maine1.jpg 346 2009-11-07 20:49:58 2009-11-08 01:49:58 open open james-madison-maine-football inherit 345 0 attachment 0 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/jmu-maine1.jpg _wp_attachment_metadata a:6:{s:5:"width";s:3:"930";s:6:"height";s:3:"666";s:14:"hwstring_small";s:23:"height='91' width='128'";s:4:"file";s:22:"2009/11/jmu-maine1.jpg";s:5:"sizes";a:2:{s:9:"thumbnail";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:22:"jmu-maine1-150x107.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"150";s:6:"height";s:3:"107";}s:6:"medium";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:22:"jmu-maine1-270x193.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"270";s:6:"height";s:3:"193";}}s:10:"image_meta";a:10:{s:8:"aperture";s:3:"2.8";s:6:"credit";s:2:"AP";s:6:"camera";s:10:"NIKON D700";s:7:"caption";s:181:"James Madison's Rockeed McCarter and Maine's Steven Barker battle for a pass during second quarter action at Bridgeforth Stadium in Harrisonburg on Saturday.

Muhammad masterminded a wave of random shootings that left 10 people dead and terrorized the Washington region for more than three weeks in October 2002. A vigil, organized by the Harrisonburg Unitarian Universalist Social Justice Committee was held in Harrisonburg on Court Square during the 9 p.m. execution of Muhammad. The group stages vigils every time an inmate is executed in Virginia "to mourn the violence - both against the lives that have been taken in crime and the lives that, in turn, are taken by our state," according to a statement.

It really was a great home opener for the Dukes. After getting off to a slow start, they overcame a 16 point deficit to pull ahead for the first time late in the game. After some very clutch free throws by junior guard Dawn Evans, JMU closed it out to win by 3.

The reporter who called said it probably was nothing big. At least nothing big as far as a newspaper is concerned, but probably a big deal to the homeowner. So, I jumped off the couch, missing the end of CSI, and headed a couple of blocks down the road to see what was going on. When I arrived, it was pretty much under control. One of the police officers on the scene said it appeared to be an electrical fire in the basement that was brought under control fairly quickly. All that remained as a lot of smoke. I called it in to the paper and told them that it was not anything major, again as far as a newspaper is concerned, but I figured I may as well hang out a bit to see if there was a photo to be made. I admit it is nothing special, but I am always fascinated by the way light plays through smoke at night with shadows and silhouettes. Not a great photo, but still kind of interesting I think.]]> 465 2009-11-20 15:24:16 2009-11-20 20:24:16 open open late-fire-call publish 0 0 post 0 _clicky_goal a:2:{s:2:"id";s:0:"";s:5:"value";s:0:"";} _edit_lock 1260241323 _edit_last 2 tweet_this_url www.bit.ly/57oZy0 idptt_tweeted 1 James Madison Football http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2009/11/21/jmu-vs-towson-football/james-madison-football/ Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:49:57 +0000 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/JMU-Towson-football-PM.jpg 468 2009-11-21 17:49:57 2009-11-21 22:49:57 open open james-madison-football inherit 474 0 attachment 0 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/JMU-Towson-football-PM.jpg _wp_attached_file 2009/11/JMU-Towson-football-PM.jpg _wp_attachment_metadata a:6:{s:5:"width";s:3:"930";s:6:"height";s:3:"631";s:14:"hwstring_small";s:23:"height='86' width='128'";s:4:"file";s:34:"2009/11/JMU-Towson-football-PM.jpg";s:5:"sizes";a:2:{s:9:"thumbnail";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:34:"JMU-Towson-football-PM-150x101.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"150";s:6:"height";s:3:"101";}s:6:"medium";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:34:"JMU-Towson-football-PM-270x183.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"270";s:6:"height";s:3:"183";}}s:10:"image_meta";a:10:{s:8:"aperture";s:1:"5";s:6:"credit";s:13:"Pete Marovich";s:6:"camera";s:10:"NIKON D700";s:7:"caption";s:153:"(11/21/09) - (Harrisonburg) James Madison University against Towson at Bridgeforth Stadium in Harrisonburg on Saturday.

And it was DARK. This was the first football game where we tested the ability of the NIKON D700 in low light. Of course we have played around with it, but this was the first live shoot where we shot at ISO 6400. I have to say, it is not bad for what it is especially without any noise reduction. I unfortunately did not have Noise Ninja on the laptop. I had forgotten to install it when we replaced the MacBook. Since we generally do not transmit remotely, I never thought about it.

Harrisonburg HIgh School was playing in the Region III, Division 4 championship game in Amherst, Va. They where 10-1 at the start of the game against the 12-0 Lancers. Harrisonburg scored first with at field goal, but that was where the luck ended. Tailback Michael Holmes left the game with an ankle injury with 30 seconds remaining in the first quarter. Holmes, the state's leading rusher with 2,738 yards coming into the game, finished with 11 yards on six carries. Harrisonburg also lost their second-string tailback Corbin Whitelow at the end of first half due to a concussion. Friday's win marked the third consecutive year that Amherst (12-0) eliminated HHS (10-2) from the playoffs. The Lancers advanced to the state Group AA semifinals, where they will face Christiansburg next Saturday.

I was struck by how many of the items look like some sort of modern art, even thought I know a tragedy was responsible for the weirdly textured, melted and charred items. Every time I return to the scene of a fire with investigators for follow-up stories, I am moved by the destruction fire can cause. Seeing pieces of a family's life burned and soaking wet is a humbling experience.  I've often thought that if more people could tour a home after a fire, they would be extra careful in their own homes. While that is not possible, I decided to go for the next best thing. I hope people who see these photographs realize the devastation fire can cause, and it moves them to do everything they can to prevent fire in their own homes.]]> 503 2009-11-30 19:20:16 2009-12-01 00:20:16 open open about-the-burned-essay publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock 1260241160 _edit_last 2 _clicky_goal a:2:{s:2:"id";s:0:"";s:5:"value";s:0:"";} tweet_this_url www.bit.ly/8EPDwE idptt_tweeted 1 64 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2009/11/30/burned/ 64.26.63.28 2009-11-30 19:21:44 2009-12-01 00:21:44 1 pingback 0 0 BURNED http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2009/11/30/burned/ Tue, 01 Dec 2009 00:20:28 +0000 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/?p=496 BURNED

In 2008 U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 1,451,500 fires. These fires resulted in 3,320 civilian fire fatalities, 16,705 civilian fire injuries and an estimated $15,478,000,000 in direct property loss. (The direct property loss includes the California Wildfires 2008 with an estimated property loss of $1,400,000,000.) There was a civilian fire death every 158 minutes and a civilian fire injury every 31 minutes in 2008. In 2008 home fires caused 2,755, or 83%, of the civilian fire deaths. 403,000 fires or 78% of all structure fires occurred in residential properties. In 2008 every 22 seconds, a fire department responded to a fire somewhere in the nation. A fire occured in a structure at the rate of one every 61 seconds, and in particular a residential fire occurs every 78 seconds. (Source: National Fire Protection Association Fire Loss in the U.S. 2008.)
The above series of images were created from items in the Harrisonburg Fire Department's fire safety exhibit. The charred and burned items collected by the fire department from fires in the city have been a staple of the department's fire safety education program for over 20 years according to fire chief Larry Shifflett.

It was a bit of an amusing photo of non-graduating cadets in the audience and some of them had nodded off to sleep. Funny, but not uncommon at an assembly of college students, much less students in a military academy where there are more things involved in the daily life of a cadet than just classes and studying. I am revisiting this photo because it is the subject of an amazing amount of internet searches in the past few days. Ever since President Obama's speech concerning the war in Afghanistan before the West Point corps of cadets, this site has had A LOT of web traffic stemming from Google searches with the phrases "sleeping cadets," "cadets sleeping," "sleeping cadets obama..." well you get the idea. Now I watched the speech. Yes there was at least one occasion where the camera was showing the cadet audience and in the frame was a cadet or two with their eyes closed. Again, funny but not really shocking nor in my opinion a reflection on the speech or the speaker. But all over the internet bloggers are having a field day with the images. It will never cease to amaze me what people will search for on the internet or more importantly how much time they have on their hands. But I will say this: Everyone with time to kill.. please come visit my site at www.petemarovichimages.com. I can use the extra web traffic to increase my Google ranking! UPDATE: I just saw this post on answers.yahoo.com from a cadet at West Point who was at the President's speech:
I am a cadet at West Point and it's highly disrespectful for them to fall asleep. I can say that we did sit in that auditorium for 4 hours before the President arrived-we were only allowed magazines and books. So, yes, it was difficult (considering we weren't allowed to walk around or stand either). Not to mention, we had class from wake up at 7 unit 4 pm that day as well. It was a long day, but it was worth it.

The typical media feeding frenzy is going on and it is getting ugly. I think we as a nation are far to interested in other peoples private lives. Yes I know he is a superstar athlete. Yes I know people look up to him. But I still think there needs to be lines drawn. With his legendary ability on the golf course and his megastar personality he seems like most celebrities to be on another plane, but he is still as human as the rest of us. We know, or think we know, what happened and Tiger has made his public statement of apology to his family, friends and fans. Is that not enough for us? Do we really need to know all the gory details of his missteps? I for one don't think so. I sincerely hope that he can mend his relationships with his family and close friends. I am sure he has learned from his mistakes. Let the tabloids write what they feel they must to make money and feed the curiosity of  those who live vicariously through the lives of others. Let the gossip columnists have something to write about. Let the women who he had relations have their 15 minutes in the spotlight and cash in on their deeds. If that is how they want to become known let them. I think the rest of us should take a higher road. I say let Tiger Woods and his family be. Let them heal.]]> 530 2009-12-03 18:29:09 2009-12-03 23:29:09 open open tiger-tiger-tiger publish 0 0 post 0 _clicky_goal a:2:{s:2:"id";s:0:"";s:5:"value";s:0:"";} _edit_lock 1263780898 _edit_last 2 idptt_tweeted 1 tweet_this_url www.bit.ly/5T0wor thumbnail http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000ey.3niG8acc/s GOLF0463 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/?attachment_id=534 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 23:31:34 +0000 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/GOLF0463.jpg 534 2009-12-03 18:31:34 2009-12-03 23:31:34 open open golf0463 inherit 0 0 attachment 0 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/GOLF0463.jpg _wp_attached_file 2009/12/GOLF0463.jpg _wp_attachment_metadata a:6:{s:5:"width";s:3:"400";s:6:"height";s:3:"413";s:14:"hwstring_small";s:22:"height='96' width='92'";s:4:"file";s:20:"2009/12/GOLF0463.jpg";s:5:"sizes";a:2:{s:9:"thumbnail";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:20:"GOLF0463-145x150.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"145";s:6:"height";s:3:"150";}s:6:"medium";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:20:"GOLF0463-261x270.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"261";s:6:"height";s:3:"270";}}s:10:"image_meta";a:10:{s:8:"aperture";s:1:"0";s:6:"credit";s:20:"Pete Marovich Images";s:6:"camera";s:28:"Nikon SUPER COOLSCAN 5000 ED";s:7:"caption";s:0:"";s:17:"created_timestamp";s:10:"1189534258";s:9:"copyright";s:20:"Pete Marovich Images";s:12:"focal_length";s:1:"0";s:3:"iso";s:1:"0";s:13:"shutter_speed";s:1:"0";s:5:"title";s:0:"";}} curiousboy http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2009/12/09/youthful-curiosity/curiousboy/ Wed, 09 Dec 2009 21:17:42 +0000 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/curiousboy.jpg 553 2009-12-09 16:17:42 2009-12-09 21:17:42 open open curiousboy inherit 552 0 attachment 0 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/curiousboy.jpg _wp_attached_file 2009/12/curiousboy.jpg _wp_attachment_metadata a:6:{s:5:"width";s:3:"930";s:6:"height";s:3:"686";s:14:"hwstring_small";s:23:"height='94' width='128'";s:4:"file";s:22:"2009/12/curiousboy.jpg";s:5:"sizes";a:2:{s:9:"thumbnail";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:22:"curiousboy-150x110.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"150";s:6:"height";s:3:"110";}s:6:"medium";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:22:"curiousboy-270x199.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"270";s:6:"height";s:3:"199";}}s:10:"image_meta";a:10:{s:8:"aperture";s:3:"2.8";s:6:"credit";s:13:"Pete Marovich";s:6:"camera";s:10:"NIKON D700";s:7:"caption";s:92:"(12/9/09) - (Harrisonburg) Roberta Webb Child Care Center.

Fun because  it is usually easy photographs and lets be honest, what can be more fun than hanging out with children when you are supposed to be working? The challenge is getting them to forget you are there. Not every child likes to be photographed and many can be quite shy. Others will insist that you take their picture. Sometimes this will get them to forget about you and get back to the job of playing with their friends or whatever they may be up to at the time. Other times it just makes them think that you are there just to take photos of them. Then there is the real problem. Parents and relatives are constantly telling their kids to look at the camera. This is good for the Sears portrait studio, but bad for a newspaper photographer trying to get a candid moment and the subject is staring at the camera like it is some growth coming out of your face. Of course if this is the only trial that I have to get through on a given day, I will take it. It usually turns in to a compromise of letting them get their fill of examining the camera and having me be their personal photographer for a bit and an exercise in patience. And usually when I go back and look at the shoot, I will have what I need plus a few extra moments that I just have to put in the keeper file.]]> 552 2009-12-09 16:18:00 2009-12-09 21:18:00 open open youthful-curiosity publish 0 0 post 0 _clicky_goal a:2:{s:2:"id";s:0:"";s:5:"value";s:0:"";} _edit_lock 1260393483 _edit_last 2 tweet_this_url www.bit.ly/7NiBDV idptt_tweeted 1 20061021167 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2009/12/10/me-jenny-and-smokin-joe/attachment/20061021167/ Fri, 11 Dec 2009 01:09:21 +0000 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/20061021167.jpg 558 2009-12-10 20:09:21 2009-12-11 01:09:21 open open 20061021167 inherit 556 0 attachment 0 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/20061021167.jpg _wp_attached_file 2009/12/20061021167.jpg _wp_attachment_metadata a:6:{s:5:"width";s:3:"930";s:6:"height";s:3:"623";s:14:"hwstring_small";s:23:"height='85' width='128'";s:4:"file";s:23:"2009/12/20061021167.jpg";s:5:"sizes";a:2:{s:9:"thumbnail";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:23:"20061021167-150x100.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"150";s:6:"height";s:3:"100";}s:6:"medium";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:23:"20061021167-270x180.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"270";s:6:"height";s:3:"180";}}s:10:"image_meta";a:10:{s:8:"aperture";s:1:"4";s:6:"credit";s:20:"Pete Marovich Images";s:6:"camera";s:10:"NIKON D200";s:7:"caption";s:38:"Joe Frazier in his Gym in Philadelphia";s:17:"created_timestamp";s:10:"1161467235";s:9:"copyright";s:20:"Pete Marovich Images";s:12:"focal_length";s:2:"12";s:3:"iso";s:3:"800";s:13:"shutter_speed";s:15:"0.0333333333333";s:5:"title";s:0:"";}} Me, Jenny and Smokin' Joe http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2009/12/10/me-jenny-and-smokin-joe/ Fri, 11 Dec 2009 02:17:11 +0000 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/?p=556 [/caption] One of the best things about being a photojournalist is having the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life. From the everyday working stiff to the rich and famous. Back in October  2006 I was planning on attending the NPPA's Flying Short Course in Philadelphia. A few days before I was to leave I was in our managing editor's office to ask a question and he looked up from his computer as I walked in and said, "Do you know Joe Frazier is almost broke and living above his gym in Philadelphia?" Well I did not and he went on to tell me that there was a story in that day's New York Times detailing Frazier's career and current situation. Of course my mind is racing trying to think of how I can make a side trip during the short course to visit the gym and maybe get a chance to make some images of the legend. So on the first day of the short course I had some time and made the short walk to the gym from where we where staying. I wandered in to the gym and found that it was empty except for a few guys working out and Joe's son Marvis watching two boxers spar. When Marvis got a break I approached him and told him who I was  and that I has hoping to do a story and photos for  American-Journal Magazine. He could not have been more pleasant and agreeable. He said his father was not there but he was expecting him at any time. So I humg out a bit and when Joe arrived, Marvis introduced me. Joe agreed we could get together the next afternoon so Jenny could interview him and I could photograph him during his daily workout. We showed up the next day and when Joe arrived he was outgoing and gracious. We went upstairs to his office and Jenny interviewed him as he sat on his couch underneath a Life Magazine poster of a cover shot of Joe and  Ali. We spent about an hour and a half with Joe and Marvis. Jenny got what she needed for a short story and I got the photos and a lesson on the speed bag with Marvis. (There are photos of this that need not ever be seen.) As we were about to leave, Joe insisted that Marvis take a photo of him with Jenny and I so we could have something for the scrapbook. The story and more photos can be found on American-Journal.org. To purchase prints of Joe Frazier visit my archive.]]> 556 2009-12-10 21:17:11 2009-12-11 02:17:11 open open me-jenny-and-smokin-joe publish 0 0 post 0 _clicky_goal

Once was over 20 years ago at my grandmother's home in Aliquippa and the second time was at my aunt and uncle's home a few miles from my grandmother's home about 10 years ago. The cooking process and wonderful flavors leave a lasting impression. We are on a short vacation to visit my parents who moved recently from South Carolina to Pennsylvania near where they grew up. They are now close to my aunt and uncle (dad's sister) and my cousins. They invited us over for dinner and served up a great childhood memory.

I shoot most of the game with a 70-200mm and I generally sit on one of the corners of the court. This works out pretty good except for the odd play that happens right in front of me that is too tight with the zoom. There is never enough time to grab another camera. The last couple of games I tried this there was not much to shoot. But last night at the James Madison Invitational I had some luck. A grab for a loose ball happened right in front of me. My first reaction was to duck and cover before remembering that I had the remote. ( I know, what a wuss. ) Anyway I remembered in time to fire off a sequence. Not bad but not exceptional. Since it happened a bit off center, I had to crop in quite a bit to make it better. My sports editor would never run it loose anyway and it was better cropped. I know that great images from remotes are luck at best, but I am hoping that eventually I will get something pretty good. The unedited frame sequence is below.

It may seem strange to voluntarily leave my job as director of photography at a newspaper for a freelance career, especially in this economy, but I feel the time has come to move on to be able to work on personal projects. My wife, Jenny, and I have been talking about this for some time now and we had decided that the best course of action was for her to find a job that she liked and that would challenge her in the Washington D.C. area, and then I would be able to freelance. We would rely on her employment for our benefits. Jenny was offered a job at the American Society of Civil Engineers in Reston, Va. and she accepted it on Friday. We will be relocated at the end of the month. I will always have a special place in my heart for the days of working for a newspaper, but the way the industry is changing these days, it is just not what it was in the past. Budget cuts, cuts in the news hole, and what seems to me to be a general disconnect from what the reader wants in their paper has made the work environment much different from what it was not too long ago. Probably ninety percent of what I know as a photojournalist I learned on the job while working as a newspaper photographer. I always loved that every day would bring something different. I have met hundreds of great and interesting people and have been witness to some very cool event as well as some very tragic ones. Hopefully the move will be a fruitful one for both of us. ]]> 614 2010-01-17 21:15:57 2010-01-18 02:15:57 open open moving-to-d-c publish 0 0 post 0 _clicky_goal a:2:{s:2:"id";s:0:"";s:5:"value";s:0:"";} _edit_lock 1264188265 _edit_last 2 thumbnail http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000XQ6GmDQrgog/s thumbnail http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000XQ6GmDQrgog/s tweet_this_url www.bit.ly/aiCGZT idptt_tweeted 1 20100118001s http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2010/01/17/moving-to-d-c/20100118001s/ Mon, 18 Jan 2010 20:05:46 +0000 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/20100118001s.jpg 619 2010-01-18 15:05:46 2010-01-18 20:05:46 open open 20100118001s inherit 614 0 attachment 0 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/20100118001s.jpg _wp_attached_file 2010/01/20100118001s.jpg _wp_attachment_metadata a:6:{s:5:"width";s:3:"930";s:6:"height";s:3:"712";s:14:"hwstring_small";s:23:"height='96' width='125'";s:4:"file";s:24:"2010/01/20100118001s.jpg";s:5:"sizes";a:2:{s:9:"thumbnail";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:24:"20100118001s-150x114.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"150";s:6:"height";s:3:"114";}s:6:"medium";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:24:"20100118001s-270x206.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"270";s:6:"height";s:3:"206";}}s:10:"image_meta";a:10:{s:8:"aperture";s:3:"3.2";s:6:"credit";s:0:"";s:6:"camera";s:10:"NIKON D700";s:7:"caption";s:0:"";s:17:"created_timestamp";s:10:"1263844287";s:9:"copyright";s:0:"";s:12:"focal_length";s:2:"28";s:3:"iso";s:3:"200";s:13:"shutter_speed";s:15:"0.0166666666667";s:5:"title";s:0:"";}} Scott Strazzante's Reflections http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2010/01/19/scott-strazzantes-reflections/ Tue, 19 Jan 2010 19:31:39 +0000 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/?p=623 [/caption] I know this should be a place where I write about my own original thoughts, but this needs to be an exception. I was reading my friend, Scott Strazzante's blog today and he has a piece from the other day titled "Reflections." Scott is an award-winning photojournalist with the Chicago Tribune, and he has some thoughts on the tragedy in Haiti. As I was reading this train of thought about his feelings about the Haiti earthquake and not being one of the photojournalists on the ground there covering the disaster, I realized that I had most of those same thoughts. Then I realized that he said it better than I probably ever could. So instead of reading my ramblings on the subject, go and read Scott's. He is much more eloquent and I could not agree more with what he says.

In an effort to remind viewers of the important role photographers play around the world, we invited an array of imagemakers to share galleries on their blogs (like this one) that comprise 12 images representing an experience when they had an impact on or were impacted. By clicking on the links below the IMPACT logo, you can move through the exhibition, viewing other galleries by different photographers. You can also click the IMPACT logo to be taken to a post on the liveBooks RESOLVE Blog where you can see an index of all participating photographers. We hope that by linking different photographic visions of our first topic, "Outside Looking In," we can provide a multifaceted view of the topic as well as the IMPACT individuals can have on the world around us. —The IMPACT Team Old Order Mennonite is a term for the Mennonite groups who dress plainly and reject modern technologies. They put the disciplined church community, rather than individual religious experience, at the center of their Christian faith. Old Order Mennonites are found in five major settlements in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and Ontario. They trace their origin to 1872, when bishop Jacob Wisler of Elkart, Indiana was expelled from the Old Mennonite Church because of his opposition to innovations, like Sunday schools, and organized separate regional groups in Indiana and Ohio. This split was followed by the organization of affiliated regional groups in Ontario in 1889, in Pennsylvania in 1893, and in Virginia in 1901 where the Rhodes family lives and raises 9 children. I had mentioned a couple of times on my blog that I was working on an body of work about an Old Order Mennonite family in the Shenandoah Valley. I was introduced to the Rhodes family by Regina Harlow. Regina is a writer from one of the weekly papers published by the Daily News-Record. She has know the Rhodes family since childhood and one of their daughters now babysits her son from time to time. I have to admit I was a little unsure how to proceed and what to expect. Old Order Mennonites are like the Amish in that they prefer not to be photographed. I was actually surprised that they had agreed. The only stipulation was that the images not appear in the local newspapers. I agreed and decided to do the story on my own time as a personal project. My first meeting with the James and Mary Ethel Rhodes, the parents of 9 children in the family, was at the old order school where four of the children attend class. I think everyone was as curious about me and what I was doing as much as I was about them. Everyone was kind and welcoming. Over the next 7 months or so, I would drop in on the Rhodes as they where going about their daily lives and I have come away with a new family of friends as well as some very nice images that look into the lives of a quiet and somewhat sequestered community.

"If you are leaving downtown D.C. for the East Falls Church station, is it a bad thing if you end up in L'Enfant Plaza station twice?"
OK. The D.C. Metro cannot be that difficult, even after a few drinks. But last night I apparently thought it would be fun to take my lovely bride on an unscheduled tour of D.C.'s finer metro stops. The night began by realizing that we could have taken the metro to a station just a block away from the Capital Grill where we would be dining. But the 20 minute walk from Metro Center in sub freezing temperatures seemed like more fun. Of course we decided that the closer station was the best way out after dinner, but that meant changing trains... It seems that this is a bit of a problem for me even though I am usually great at navigation. So we get on the Yellow line (or was it green) and went one stop south to L'Enfant Plaza. Here we can catch the Orange line to our final destination. Simple right? [caption id="attachment_669" align="alignnone" width="930" caption="This is the point that the trip home \"derailed.\" (This is not meant to disparage the Metro and the recent issues they have been having.)"]This is the point that the trip home "derailed." (This is not meant to disparage the Metro and the recent issues they have been having.)[/caption] Well either it was the couple of drinks, me not paying attention, or the fact I was trying to get this photo of Jenny with the burred train arriving that got me off track, that resulted in us getting on the Blue line instead of the Orange. (This would be easier if the damn things where actually painted the color of the route.) Now this would have been obvious a lot sooner if the next SEVEN stops where not exactly the same as if we where on the correct Orange line train. But after the Rossyln stop all of a sudden I saw the stop for Arlington Cemetery. OOPS. "Jen, we are on the wrong train." I will not post her response to that. No problem. Get off at the next stop. Pentagon City and wait for the train going in the opposite direction. Yeah. Of course, I screwed up again and we got on the next train (Yellow line) that took us back into D.C. and the all too familiar L-Enfant Plaza. This time we got it right. I have realized though that the D.C. metro is a fertile ground for people watching, which kept us entertained in addition to our navigational incompetence, as well as photos. I think I could ride for hours and find all kind of photos. Below is a sample of the few images that I shot while touring the Metro D.C. area by train. Comments welcome.

There was a LOT of media there. It was the Toyota hearings before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. One photographer said he had not seen it like this since the Kenneth Starr hearings. The legendary David Burnett brought up the Mark McGwire testimony. I agreed it was a lot of media to crowd into a room, but said that the mass of photographers jockeying for position was not unlike the many U.S. Open golf tournament trophy ceremonies that I had attended. It was a long day. Since I do not yet have my permanent Senate Press Gallery credential, I had to arrive earlier to get my day pass and to acclimate myself to the dos and don'ts of navigating the Capitol and covering a congressional hearing. All went smoothly with the help of the Press Gallery staff and the other photographers covering the event. I arrived in the hearing room about 75 minutes before the start of the hearing and chatted a bit with some of the other photographers while saying hello to those I had met in the past. David Burnett arrived carrying a small load of equipment including his Graflex Super D, a 4-by-5 single lens reflex camera. The thing is a monster to be lugging to congressional hearings along with all of the other cameras that he uses. There is an interesting column by David on the Digital Journalist about using the camera. Then the moment arrived to begin and as Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood entered the room everyone scrambled for position. It as a bit chaotic but as I mentioned before it was still well organized and all photographers involved where helpful and accommodating to each other.

There was a break before Akio Toyoda, the president and CEO of Toyota, would begin and then of course the jockeying for position resumed as all the photographers returned for round 2. I stayed for about 40 minutes of Akio Toyoda's testimony before I had to go to transmit the images to ZUMA. It was a long day to say the least. But very interesting and enlightening.]]> 684 2010-02-26 11:40:47 2010-02-26 16:40:47 open open covering-capitol-hill publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_last 2 _clicky_goal a:2:{s:2:"id";s:0:"";s:5:"value";s:0:"";} _edit_lock 1276689917 medium http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000xjkcJDref0o/s tweet_this_url www.bit.ly/aJpzGd idptt_tweeted 1 Some of My Favorite Photography Magazine and Blog sites http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2010/03/01/some-of-my-favorite-photography-magazine-and-blog-sites/ Tue, 02 Mar 2010 01:45:40 +0000 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/?p=692 [/caption] I have decided to post a list of some of my favorite photography sites on the internet.

One was covering the issuing of the first marriage licenses to the Washington, D.C. gay and lesbian community and the second was the Floyd Mayweather and Sugar Shane Mosley press conference. The press conference was part of their public relations tour leading up to their fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on May 1. The first assignment was better. Still, although I can't call myself a fan, and I know very little about boxing, I am fascinated by it. There is something about the way that two men can get in a ring and battle it out and usually, although they try to hide it for the sake of showmanship, can be friends and respect each others talents and ability. As brutal as it can be there is an art about it. I did notice a distinct similarity between prizefighter and politicians. Neither of them show up at press events on time. The press conference was supposed to start at 11:00 a.m. according to what I thought I read on the the press release. At 11:20 the press and the public were still standing outside the theater. Of course I found out later that the press release said the doors open at 11:00 and the event starts at noon. The lesson here is to READ the damn press release. OK, so I skimmed it. At least I was early. BUT,  as I said the doors did not open until 11:20 and of course the event did not start until 12:45. Now, the point of this is not to pick on the event people but still the stars could have been on time. The REAL issue was that I was hungry. I had started the day at 5:15 a.m. so I could be at the courthouse in D.C. for the license story at 7:00. I left there about 10:20 to catch the metro to the press conference and arrived about 10:50. That Pop Tart I had in the car on the way to the metro had worn off. The lesson here I think is to have some snacks in the backpack. You never know when the next chance to eat may come. Back to the event... The thing that was interesting was that the one politician I saw at the event, beleaguered (always wanted to use that word) D.C. City Council member and former mayor, Marion Barry, was there and seated on time. (Barry was censured by the council the night before for violating conflict of interest rules and impeding an investigation. They also stripped him of his committee chairmanship.) I guess sometimes politicians can be on time. Even the ones having a bad week. ]]> 696 2010-03-03 20:42:18 2010-03-04 01:42:18 open open prizefighters-and-politicians publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock 1270952682 _clicky_goal a:2:{s:2:"id";s:0:"";s:5:"value";s:0:"";} _edit_last 2 thumbnail http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000cjUyu8nT590/s tweet_this_url www.bit.ly/b7KiFg idptt_tweeted 1 Newsletter http://www.petemarovichimages.com/newsletter/ Fri, 12 Mar 2010 13:03:21 +0000 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/?page_id=706

She is believed to be the only woman coaching a high school varsity football team in the United States. Randolph, 29, teaches biology and environmental sciences. She played for five years as a wide receiver for the D.C. Divas of the women's professional football league and was an assistant football coach at H.D. Woodson High School in D.C. This is going to be an interesting story to follow.

One might argue that they are one and the same. Tea Party activists rallied on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday to protest the health care bill and demand meetings with their respective members of Congress. The "Code Red Health Care Rally," featured Republican speakers, including Reps. Mike Pence, R-Ind.; Michele Bachmann, R-Minn.; Tom Price, R-Georgia; and Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn. More images from the Tea Party Rally can be found on my archive. (Click here) The Barnum and Bailey Circus rumbled into town with the ceremonial parade of the elephants though the city and past Capitol Hill. The combination of unhappy republicans and elephants marching on the nation's capital is just too funny. ]]> 715 2010-03-16 18:29:18 2010-03-16 23:29:18 open open tea-party-marches-on publish 0 0 post 0 _clicky_goal a:2:{s:2:"id";s:0:"";s:5:"value";s:0:"";} _edit_lock 1270905762 _edit_last 2 thumbnail http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000KcmMv5DI9.4/s tweet_this_url www.bit.ly/cPo3m8 idptt_tweeted 1 343 Ritzert64@yahoo.com http://teapartylatest.com 78.1.139.98 2010-04-10 06:25:13 2010-04-10 11:25:13 1 0 0 Marching on "Imperialism" http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2010/03/20/marching-on-imperialism/ Sun, 21 Mar 2010 01:44:19 +0000 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/?p=719 On the seventh anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, protestors marched from Lafayette Park across from the White House through downtown Washington D.C., Saturday carrying flag-draped cardboard coffins and signs calling for thto end to all wars and to "Indict Bush Now." More images from the demonstration including the Arlington Midwest exhibit on the National Mall can be found on my PhotoShelter Archive (Click Here). Stops on the route included military contractor Halliburton, the Mortgage Bankers Association, The Washington Post offices and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The ANSWER Coalition, sponsors of the protest, claims "Halliburton has become synonymous with war profiteering" and the Washington Post "has been a staunch supporter of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, and continues to operate as an apologist for U.S. aggression." ]]> 719 2010-03-20 20:44:19 2010-03-21 01:44:19 open open marching-on-imperialism publish 0 0 post 0 _clicky_goal a:2:{s:2:"id";s:0:"";s:5:"value";s:0:"";} _edit_lock 1269135861 _edit_last 2 thumbnail http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I00007aAoF9z.BJQ/s tweet_this_url www.bit.ly/b9yymH idptt_tweeted 1 And then it got UGLY... http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2010/03/20/and-then-it-got-ugly/ Sun, 21 Mar 2010 02:10:55 +0000 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/?p=722 Apparently when all else fails, civil discourse is set aside in the Tea Party movement.

Nobody can be everywhere at once. And since you can't, you have to accept the fact that you are going to miss stuff. So when you cover something as important as a vote on a bill that will be a massive overdue overhaul of the United States healthcare system, one can get a bit anxious. The weekend D.C. was full of events worth photographing. Friday there was an anti-war event called Funk the War, Saturday there was a larger anti-war protest sponsored by A.N.S.W.E.R. (Coalition Act Now to Stop War & End Racism) and a tea-party protest at the Capitol against the healthcare bill. Then on Sunday came more protests against the healthcare bill as the House of Representatives prepared to vote on the bill as well as a huge immigration reform march in the city. I decided to pace myself a bit and shoot the ant-war march on Saturday and the healthcare vote on Sunday. I was planning on trying to get to the immigration march, but it was just not going to be manageable. I arrived at the Capitol at about 11 on Sunday and went straight to the House side to cover the protesters and the Representatives arriving for the debate and voting. It was the typical screaming and shouting scene that usually surrounds these events. Most of the photos are typical coverage, but there where one or two that I liked the most. I hung out until a bit after 1:00 and headed to the Senate Press Gallery to transmit images to ZUMA Press. Then the waiting began. There was the occasional press conference that needed to be covered as the debating went on in the House chamber and just general wandering around the Capitol looking for a good feature or two. I have to say it is kind of weird to be able to wander the halls of the center of democracy when there really is not anyone around. Since all of the action was happening on the House side, we had to travel back and fourth from the Photographer's Gallery on the Senate side to the House. Many times I was making the trip alone, and the beauty of the Capitol building being experienced with only the sound of your own footsteps is quite the experience. As in VERY COOL. Around 7:00 the debate raged on with about the same intensity as the growling in the photographer's stomachs. The usual quick food places in the Capitol were closed since it was Sunday, but we were able to get something at one of the House dining rooms. The short handed staff there was great and accommodating. They saved the day. [caption id="attachment_729" align="alignnone" width="700" caption="A television crew watches the historic vote on a monitor outside of the House Chambers."]A television crew watches the historic vote on a monitor outside of the House Chambers.[/caption] More waiting ensued as the debating raged on until the vote came somewhere around 11:45 p.m. Even then we had to wait for a couple of more votes before Speaker Nancy Pelosi and members of the Democratic Caucus came into the Rayburn Room to speak to the press. So after the press conference and the transmitting to ZUMA Press, I walked out of the Capitol at 12:45 a.m. to find that my ride had abandoned me. Damn photographers! Can't trust any of them! Just kidding, but I am cranky about it. So while trying to figure out my options, since the last metro option was an hour and a half ago, I didn't have many. So I called my wife, Jenny, and she came to the rescue. Now that is a real trooper. About the only good thing about the ride disaster was that I came across a nice image. There was a guy sitting on the back steps of the Capitol with a flag barely hanging on to the pole it was attached to as the wind whipped it around. Apparently he had arrived to the Tea Party protest too late. When he arrived most all had gone. And there he sat, one last remaining dissenter against the historic health care bill that had been passed almost two hours before. He looked tired.

I have covered 10 U.S. Open golf tournaments, been to the Masters 4 times and played Augusta National. I have gone up in 2 blimps for shoots and ridden with game wardens in those cool little helicopters. I covered protests and Presidential speeches and have met countless famous people and some really neat not-so-famous ones. So, I have done some pretty neat shit, but I don't care how much you have shot and seen as a photographer, your first trip to the home of the leader of the free world is going to be pretty cool. I was covering the signing of the Health Care Reform Bill by President Obama at the White House. My first trip. It was quite nerve racking since you want to make sure that you are not looking like a tourist and your not doing anything you are not supposed to do. Of course everyone else there for the most part had been there before. Hell, the NYT intern has been there probably 10 times! So I was the virgin of the day. But regardless, everyone was quite nice and helpful. The first step was getting in the gate, and as of 7:00 a.m., I had not received the email from the press office granting my clearance. After checking in at the gate, they didn't have my name either. It was time to send some emails. My email to the press office was replied to promptly and after giving them the required information about me and my purpose for seeking access, within 15 minutes I had clearance and was going though security. Once I was scanned and cleared, I got directions to the press facility and I was officially on the grounds of the White House. Then it was the waiting game until the press officer gave us the clearance to enter the White House to stake out our positions in the East Room for the signing ceremony. While waiting, it was obvious very quickly that most everyone had something I did not, a ladder. Some had smaller stepladders. Some had bigger ones. But most had one and it was not real apparent to me yet as to why they. Even though I had figured there would be spectators there, I figured they would be seated. Well I was right, but apparently they also like to stand and applaud. A LOT. (You would think that after watching countless State of the Union Addresses, I would have thought about it.) [caption id="attachment_734" align="alignnone" width="930" caption="The press waits for the OK to enter the White House's East Room for setup."]The press waits for the OK to enter the White House's East Room for setup.[/caption] OK. Don't panic. Just get a position in front of one of the guys on the ladder and do your best. Right? We get the word to enter and set up so in we go. Things where not looking good for a decent shooting position but I spied a spot in front of the television cameras right in the middle of the room. I was shocked. How could this spot be free? Well mainly because it was in front of the riser with the only TV camera that was suppling the live feed. The all-important pool camera. One of the veteran photographers that I talked with a lot at the Capitol told me that it was not likely that I would be allowed to stay there, but I figured I would chance it and began the PR campaign with the cameraman. [caption id="attachment_735" align="alignnone" width="930" caption="Ladders. These are, as I have found out, mandatory if you want a good vantage point at an event where there is an audience."]Ladders. These are, as I have found out, mandatory if you want a good vantage point at an event where there is an audience.[/caption] I told him that under no circumstances would I sit, bump, lean on or touch the riser or the tripod. TV guys are real touchy about cameras that move when shooting. I don't blame them. After all, I hate to see jumpy video when I am watching the news. He did not seem to mind me being there so I figured I had won most of the battle to remain. Then the moment of truth came. The press officer came by about 10 minutes before the event was about to begin. She was very nice. She asked the TV cameraman if he was cool, and then went on to explain that if I or the other woman who had now come to share the spot bumped the riser or the tripod or otherwise made the TV guy's life miserable, that we would be removed and there would be a very public execution. She was nice, but firm. I assured her that there would be not problems. So there I was in a prime spot, directly in front of the podium where the President and Vice President would speak and a direct shot at the table where the signing would occur.... PROVIDED PEOPLE STAYED SEATED.... RIGHT! Actually, it worked out pretty well. Sure there where some missed shots, but I felt pretty good about what I got.

This photo was a happy accident. It was 1 a.m. and after covering the healthcare vote for 16 hours, I was looking for my ride home. I came across this man sitting on the Capitol steps.  He looked so alone. It was not until I asked his name that I discovered he was there to protest bill and arrived late and missed all of the hoopla. The moment just seemed fitting for the day’s events. My ride had left without me and I had to have my lovely wife, Jenny, come and give me a ride. Sometimes a bad turn of events can turn into a good thing. My agency, ZUMA Press, picked the photo as one of their Photos of the Day.

It was going to be a simple assignment at the White House. The President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, and his wife were in town for a visit with our President. Easy enough. Show up and photograph the short press conference, send the photos to ZUMA and head home. But as I was leaving the White House, surprise of surprises, there was a protest. It seems there is ALWAYS someone protesting something on the north side of the White House. But when people are marching around with signs that have circumcision and penis written on them, it kinda gets your attention. I did not spend as much time working for a great photo as I probably should have, but I thought this image was kind of funny. The protesters, with stopinfantcircumcision.org, are planning to lobby Congress & petition the Supreme Court to put an end to what they are calling the outdated, unnecessary and inhumane medical procedure. Okey Dokey. At least in a time of record unemployment, two wars, poverty, cancer, AIDS, homelessness and countless other things that need our attention we have time to demonstrate against a true scourge on humanity.]]> 759 2010-03-30 20:50:43 2010-03-31 01:50:43 open open protect-the-penis-i-am-not-making-this-up publish 0 0 post 0 _clicky_goal a:2:{s:2:"id";s:0:"";s:5:"value";s:0:"";} _edit_lock 1276689802 _edit_last 2 thumbnail http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000wfNYS_qEtJ4/s tweet_this_url www.bit.ly/9tx1xU idptt_tweeted 1 708 cacamcc3@gmail.com http://connect.cleveland.com/user/imitrex-online/index.html 118.100.89.198 2010-06-16 22:05:52 2010-06-17 03:05:52 buy propecia online propecia news , buy zithromax online directions for taking zithromax , buy lasix online lasix surgery physicians , buy xenical online xenical the weight loss product , buy lexapro online adoption lexapro , buy nolvadex online nolvadex find online , buy imitrex online best price imitrex , buy flomax online lysergic acid diethylamide flomax , buy celexa online do celexa nabumetone mix , buy diflucan online augmentin with diflucan , buy clomid online clomid support group , buy cipro online cipro 500mg drug , buy viagra super active quick forum readtopic viagra signature search , buy cialis super active why does cialis cause muscle pain , buy kamagra online kamagra counterfeit .]]> spam 0 0 iPad Fever http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2010/04/03/ipad-fever/ Sat, 03 Apr 2010 19:27:29 +0000 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/?p=763 I went out this morning to get a few shots of the first day of iPad sales at a local Apple store in Reston, Va.

The window shoppers where allowed in at 10 and we started to play. And as she said, the thing is pretty damn cool. Very quick, responsive and one of those things that you just want to own because it IS so cool. We will definitely wait until the 3G version comes out so it is truly mobile, but from what I saw, I like it. I think just from a photographer's standpoint, if you did nothing else with it but use it for a showcase for your portfolio, it would be worth the money. If you think about what you can spend for a really slick looking book and then the time and costs of printing, either professionally or on your home inkjet, and then the work of updating the book whenever you need to make changes, an iPad would be worth the money. You would be able to update quickly by simply moving photos onto the iPad. You could keep multiple versions of your portfolio in folders so you can have your sports book, wedding book and any other version you may have all in one place. Want to show off your multimedia skills? Just as easy. Yes you can do this with a laptop, but trust me, when you see the thing in person, and see the slick case made by Incase that also acts as a stand to prop it up on a table, you will see what I mean. The damn thing is just cool. And we all want to be cool.]]> 763 2010-04-03 14:27:29 2010-04-03 19:27:29 open open ipad-fever publish 0 0 post 0 _clicky_goal a:2:{s:2:"id";s:0:"";s:5:"value";s:0:"";} _edit_lock 1270323017 _edit_last 2 thumbnail http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000mQb4hkaSqvs/s tweet_this_url www.bit.ly/dweD8X idptt_tweeted 1 714 Westerlund4@gmail.com http://bit.ly/freeipad6 201.137.113.252 2010-06-17 13:40:24 2010-06-17 18:40:24 spam 0 0 A group of fans carry a cardboard cutout of President Barack Obama around Washington, D.C. on Friday. http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2010/04/10/you-gotta-love-d-c/_pm14327/ Sat, 10 Apr 2010 21:42:33 +0000 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/PM14327.jpg 774 2010-04-10 16:42:33 2010-04-10 21:42:33 open open _pm14327 inherit 773 0 attachment 0 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/PM14327.jpg _wp_attachment_metadata a:6:{s:5:"width";s:3:"930";s:6:"height";s:3:"688";s:14:"hwstring_small";s:23:"height='94' width='128'";s:4:"file";s:19:"2010/04/PM14327.jpg";s:5:"sizes";a:2:{s:9:"thumbnail";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:19:"PM14327-150x110.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"150";s:6:"height";s:3:"110";}s:6:"medium";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:19:"PM14327-270x199.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"270";s:6:"height";s:3:"199";}}s:10:"image_meta";a:10:{s:8:"aperture";s:3:"2.8";s:6:"credit";s:13:"Pete Marovich";s:6:"camera";s:10:"NIKON D700";s:7:"caption";s:0:"";s:17:"created_timestamp";s:10:"1270808765";s:9:"copyright";s:20:"Pete Marovich Images";s:12:"focal_length";s:2:"35";s:3:"iso";s:3:"200";s:13:"shutter_speed";s:6:"0.0005";s:5:"title";s:0:"";}} _wp_attached_file 2010/04/PM14327.jpg You Gotta Love D.C. http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2010/04/10/you-gotta-love-d-c/ Sat, 10 Apr 2010 21:53:20 +0000 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/?p=773 I have only been here a couple of months, but I am beginning to realize that you just never know what you will see around Washington, D.C.

I should begin by saying that most of the gathering was civil, polite and having a good time. It is valuable to have a dialog in this country coming from all sides of an issue. Intelligent and constructive dialog is the basis of a strong democracy as is the right to criticize the government. But that being said, it never ceases to amaze me how closed-minded people can be ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ISSUES. Two examples that I was witness to were both sad and funny at the same time. The first was at the morning rally at Freedom Square. Amid the protesters was a man walking around dressed at the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland. He was carrying a sign bemoaning the fact that the FOX network was torturing America by broadcasting American Idol before Glee. Seems simple enough, until a woman came up to him and began berating him for picking on FOX News (not what the sign said), and then saying he should be ashamed of himself for being unpatriotic because of his Uncle Sam costume. No matter how much he calmly and quietly tried to explain to her that he was not picking on FOX News and that he was dressed as the Mad Hatter, she would not listen and kept yelling at him. Obviously a case of not reading to get all the facts and not listening. The poor guy was as nice as he could be and said later that he hoped he did not ruin her day. UPDATE: I found this YouTube video by way of The Daily Show Forum that shows the interaction between these two. (CLICK HERE) Later there was the rally at the Washington Monument where a fan of President Obama was pleading with Tea Party members to give the President a chance. A plea that was also directed toward Democrats who voted for Obama that are now having second thoughts. This was an interesting moment with the two sides yelling at each other. The thing I couldn't help noticing was that the Tea Party supporters where not giving coherent arguments against what the man was saying. Instead they just kept repeating the talking points of the President's opposition. When pressed to expound on their statements, most did not and simply went on to another talking point. Its was obvious that they had not formed their opinions from their own research. They where parroting the party line and repeating what they heard from their favorite talking heads. I did find one other thing funny and curious. Washington, D.C. police chased off of the National Mall grounds a man who was selling "Don't Tread on Me" flags and other banners of the Tea Party movement. According to one of the cops, selling things on federal property is not allowed. The part that was weird was he also said that they had asked Freedom Works, the organizers of the event, if they wanted him at the rally selling the flags and the Freedom Works representative said no. So, Freedom Works does not want this man to practice capitalism at their rally and have no problem with the police and federal government dictating where someone can earn an honest living. Seems to me to go against their beliefs about capitalism and having government interference with a person's pursuit of a living.

There are already 15 or 20 photographers and a slew of writers and TV already in the room. Thankfully it is a bigger room than the one that held the Toyota hearings a few months back. First thing is to get laptop space set up and stake out a spot in front of the table for the first images if the witnesses as they arrive and settle in. 9:00 a.m. The waiting begins as photographers mingle and make small talk. I make a few images of the stack of exhibits before they are passed out to the Senator's positions. There is a lot of talk about how this is going to be a long day. There are 3 panels of witnesses. The first has 4 executives that either work for or did work for Goldman Sachs, including whiz kid Fabrice Tourre who, as Dana Milbank of The Post says, "is fast becoming the poster boy of the financial crisis, a Michael Milken for the current times." The SEC recently filed fraud charges against Goldman Sachs and the 31-year-old Frenchman who calls himself Fabulous Fab. The second panel has the CFO and the Chief Risk Officer. The final panel has the money shot: Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. 9:45 a.m. I am in the middle of 30 or so photographers waiting for the first panel to arrive. I ask Melina Mara from The Washington Post if she thinks this initial scrum is worth it. Does anyone ever get a great photo from this ritual? She says it is normally hit or miss. You just have to be ready in case something happens. What that is, I am not sure. 9:50 a.m. I am feeling impatient and unconvinced. Besides, everyone will have whatever shot I get just from a different angle. So I decide to take the advice of many a great old photographer. "If all the photographers are in one place, go someplace else." It also dawned on me that we, the photographers, were the picture. If this was the CEO I might feel differently, but this was a panel of 4 executives that either work or did work for Goldman Sachs. I extracted myself from the crowd to look for a better vantage point of the whole scene. As I got out of the crowd, I noticed that 4 protesters had shown up at the back of the hearing room dressed in convict clothes and carrying signs. I moved in and was one of only about 3 or 4 of the group that did since the rest did not want to lose their positions at the table. Already I have a photo that most who are there do not. Cool. 10:00 a.m. The first panel arrives and I get the shots of the mass of photographers enveloping the 4 witnesses. 10:02 a.m. The gavel falls and we take our places for the opening statements by the committee chair and the swearing in of the panel. 10:46 a.m. Now, just to give an idea of how long this could go, we finally get past opening statements from the Senators and we are to the swearing in of the first panel. Of course I spent most of this time working up the first photos and transmitting to both ZUMA Press and my Photoshelter archive. One of the things I like most about Adobe Lightroom is that I can do two different exports at the same time and then do two uploads at the same time from Lightroom while I walk away and return to shooting. I shoot the swearing in and return to the workspace to transmit that photo. 11:00 a.m. - 3:25 p.m. Yes you are reading that correctly. FOUR AND A HALF HOURS of questions and not too many answers from the FIRST PANEL! That is over four hours of shooting. I am trying hard to anticipate good reaction or facial expressions. I shoot for a while and then transmit. Then back to shooting. We get to move around a bit during the testimony, which is good. It gives the opportunity to try for unique (as they can be) angles and work to clean up backgrounds. The problem is that as tedious as this can be, you hate to leave since you never know when there may be a heated exchange between a frustrated Senator and a witness who is tip-toeing around a question. Which happened almost every 5 minutes with the first panel. There were times when I was sure that Senator Levin was going to blow a gasket. It was particularly fun to hear the Senator use the word "shit" so many times in a hearing. He was quoting the Goldman Sachs email transcripts that said things like: "Look what your sales team was saying about Timberwolf: 'Boy, that Timberwolf was one shitty deal,' " Levin quoted. "They sold that shitty deal. . . . How much of that shitty deal did you sell to your clients?" 3:25 p.m. As I said, you hate to leave, but at about 3:10 I needed food. So I took a quick break for lunch and of course when I returned I found that the first panel was done and I was about to miss the swearing in of the second panel. I managed to make a quick frame or two from behind the two witnesses as they gave their "I dos." This panel was not very exciting, but it did go by faster. It was becoming obvious that the Senators were getting more and more frustrated by the semantics and the non-answers as well as the answers they did get from the witnesses. The day was getting longer and longer and we still had the main event to come. The Goldman CEO. There was a short recess in the action when the Senators needed to leave for a vote on the Senate Floor. This provided another opportunity to get something a bit different. The Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, David Viniar, was consulting with his legal team and the protesters came up as close as they could from the back of the room and filled in the background for a good frame. 5:00 p.m. As the session with the second panel was winding down, the Goldman Sachs' CEO enters the hearing room with his entourage. Of course the photographers want to get photos of him but it was a bit surreal in a way since the hearing was still going on and all the photographers just herded over to where he was sitting. The Senators never missed a beat, and kept on asking questions through what was obviously a bit of a distraction. 5:17 p.m. The main event has arrived. Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein is sworn in and begins to answer questions. 5:17 - 6:15 p.m. I shoot the CEO for about an hour. I have had enough. All I hear over and over all day is "selling short," "being short," "being long," "selling long," long and short, short and long. Between that and the "please stand clear of the doors," and "the doors are closing" mantra on the metro, I may never sleep again. Over 1200 frames shot and 95 images sent to ZUMA Press and my Photoshelter archive. I am whipped. But it is nice to already see 4 images in a slideshow on the Wall Street Journal web site. All I know from the day is this... The long of it was the day. Long and tedious but very interesting. It is always fascinating to sit through Congressional hearings. It is most often a learning experience. That happened today. I learned about the short. The short of it is that the Wall Street types who work at Goldman Sachs and all the other high-end investment firms are all smarter than the average person. Way smarter. Smarter than the Senators who had a surprisingly good grasp of the concepts behind the financial markets. The problem is that Wall Street types know that they are smarter. And because of that fact they feel they can get away with what they had for so long. They are smart enough to know that we will not notice and if we do, we won't understand it anyway. ]]> 791 2010-04-28 08:20:11 2010-04-28 13:20:11 open open the-long-and-short-of-it publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock 1276689781 _edit_last 2 medium http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000UgcDs6raflM/s thumbnail http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000UgcDs6raflM/s tweet_this_url www.bit.ly/cZNtuw _clicky_goal a:2:{s:2:"id";s:0:"";s:5:"value";s:0:"";} idptt_tweeted 1 721 uneloslesesa@gawab.com http://www.clshoescn.com/ 218.6.8.86 2010-06-18 14:31:41 2010-06-18 19:31:41 spam 0 0 701 753ijpzmt@gmail.com http://BusinessCardAds.com 125.77.125.39 2010-06-16 10:53:31 2010-06-16 15:53:31 spam 0 0 704 ytbgssgg@gmail.com http://www.searchinsurancequote.com/ 121.205.89.153 2010-06-16 16:36:31 2010-06-16 21:36:31 spam 0 0 Did Ex-Mortgage Guru Lie Under Oath?

SWEET! The essay was a collection of photos of items that the local firefighters had recovered from fire scenes. I posted the essay on this site a few months back. (See BURNED) I first thought about doing the essay a couple of years ago while shooting a fire safety display at the local mall. The Harrisonburg Fire Department was putting their yearly event and they always display items recovered from fires. I could not help but notice how much many of the items looked like modern art. It was weird to see items from tragic circumstances in this way. I thought that photographing them as art may entice people to spend more time looking at them and in turn think more about what happens when people are not careful and safety conscience. Although it may have been my idea, my wife, Jenny, was kind enough to remind me that she was the one who motivated me to get off my ass and actually shoot the damn thing. As usual she was right. The other winners from November 2009 can be found on the NPPA website (click here).]]> 848 2010-05-18 20:16:55 2010-05-19 01:16:55 open open national-clip-winner publish 0 0 post 0 tweet_this_url www.bit.ly/9CaYsj medium http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I00008PSQ_RcCPx8/s _clicky_goal a:2:{s:2:"id";s:0:"";s:5:"value";s:0:"";} _edit_lock 1275068329 _edit_last 2 thumbnail http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I00008PSQ_RcCPx8/s idptt_tweeted 1 530 wandaw@harrisonburgva.gov http://www.harrisonburgfire.org 67.221.123.37 2010-05-19 11:00:06 2010-05-19 16:00:06 1 0 0 Memorial Day 2010 in Washington D.C. http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2010/05/31/memorial-day-2010-in-washington-d-c/ Mon, 31 May 2010 20:42:59 +0000 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/?p=851 I just finished covering the Memorial Day weekend in Washington, D.C. There is always a lot going on in the Nation's Capital during this holiday. But is it actually a holiday? We do get a day off from work like any other holiday. People all over the country spend the day at picnics or at the beach. Many pools open for the summer over the Memorial Day weekend. There is a concert at the Capitol. For many is seems it is simply a long weekend of beach and beer and cookouts and concerts. But if you hang out at any of the war memorials in D.C. or head over to Arlington National Cemetery it becomes evident quickly that for a large portion of the population, it is something much more. I stopped to think about it myself after reading "This Memorial Day, honoring a military that's in isolation" by Washington Post Op-Ed columnist E.J. Dionne. He asks why every Memorial Day, a holiday set aside for honoring our war dead has become an occasion for beach-going, barbecues and baseball? Anyway, it is hard to think about the beach or picnics when going to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to cover the candlelight vigil on Friday or the Rolling Thunder Ride to the Wall on Sunday. It is even harder on Memorial Day when covering families and friends of those who lost their lives in our wars as they walk through the hundreds of thousands of headstones at Arlington. Here are some of what I think are by best images from the weekend. And just like Vice President Joe Biden was telling mothers and fathers of fallen soldiers that he was honored to meet them, but he wished it was not in a cemetery; I wish I was not pleased about these images. ]]> 851 2010-05-31 15:42:59 2010-05-31 20:42:59 open open memorial-day-2010-in-washington-d-c publish 0 0 post 0 thumbnail http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I00009gz6LUpbcCs/s _edit_lock 1275338582 medium http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I00009gz6LUpbcCs/s _edit_last 2 tweet_this_url www.bit.ly/cO1i4L _clicky_goal a:2:{s:2:"id";s:0:"";s:5:"value";s:0:"";} idptt_tweeted 1 637 pausleal@simps.com http://www.studentscholarshipscenter.org 173.233.65.154 2010-06-06 03:15:58 2010-06-06 08:15:58 spam 0 0 738 aadoof@drtnwp.com http://wmunuibswjdh.com/ 79.139.34.18 2010-06-20 15:35:04 2010-06-20 20:35:04 uzyrgkuzplip, [url=http://ufeidhfgsilw.com/]ufeidhfgsilw[/url], [link=http://qyhovnurwjrn.com/]qyhovnurwjrn[/link], http://daxepjszwjik.com/]]> spam 0 0 731 lhabej@mnvouz.com http://wzyfrusbhmym.com/ 95.169.190.2 2010-06-20 02:55:55 2010-06-20 07:55:55 awpfcbeggjic, [url=http://hpmniluirjna.com/]hpmniluirjna[/url], [link=http://uzewvzuobpcl.com/]uzewvzuobpcl[/link], http://ettbaoxrjyin.com/]]> spam 0 0 656 Kromm784@gmail.com http://www.visitortravel.org/ 97.74.86.23 2010-06-08 20:35:23 2010-06-09 01:35:23 spam 0 0 654 pausleal@simps.com http://www.financialaidfor-college.com 173.233.65.154 2010-06-08 00:51:32 2010-06-08 05:51:32 spam 0 0 657 Trybala319@gmail.com http://www.memory-virtual.com 97.74.86.23 2010-06-09 01:25:31 2010-06-09 06:25:31 spam 0 0 665 Magalski5619@gmail.com http://motorcycleaccessoriesandparts.com.au 173.208.23.140 2010-06-11 02:53:44 2010-06-11 07:53:44 spam 0 0 663 Hibma8897@gmail.com http://www.ted.com/profiles/view/id/511077 173.208.23.140 2010-06-11 01:03:28 2010-06-11 06:03:28 spam 0 0 608 kircher.mike@gmail.com http://michaelkircherphoto.blogspot.com/ 69.139.152.169 2010-05-31 19:55:46 2010-06-01 00:55:46 1 0 0 611 pete@petemarovichimages.com http://www.petemarovichimages.com 72.165.205.36 2010-05-31 20:44:29 2010-06-01 01:44:29 1 608 2 723 Catinella12@gmail.com http://www.online-free-surveys.com 203.153.25.202 2010-06-19 00:41:44 2010-06-19 05:41:44 spam 0 0 725 gogot123@hotmail.com http://www.nikesairmax.net 93.191.57.2 2010-06-19 07:10:39 2010-06-19 12:10:39 Cheap Air Max Shoes and that is the lamp of experience.

(How fast is fast enough?) http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2010/06/05/the-national-spelling-bee-and-raw-vs-jpg-how-fast-is-fast-enough/ Sun, 06 Jun 2010 02:59:48 +0000 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/?p=857 It is hard to believe that with all the work I have done for newspapers that I have just covered my first spelling bee. The cool thing is that it was the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The contest itself was great. We did have some issues with the people running the show when they threw us out of the ballroom after the semifinals while most of us still had images to file. Apparently this was because ABC wanted to shoot a segment that would be shown later that night and they did not want other media in the room. Must have been a state secret although we all knew what it was and all the parents and kids could be there. Not only did we have to leave the room, we had to pack up ALL of our equipment. It was ridiculous. Anyway, it was really amazing to watch these kids spell words that many of us had never heard of before. I told one of the men whose job it was to say the words to the kids that I could never do this. My first impulse after hearing the word, repeating it back and hearing it again would be to ask, "can you spell that please?" I was shooting the event for ZUMA Press and since there were kids competing from all over the country, I decided that I would send photos of everyone. I did not start covering it until the semifinal round, so I only had to deal with about 50 kids, but that was still a tall order. I figured I would use the Photo Mechanic code replacement feature to get the names into a pre-built generic caption. This was the first time I had used this feature and it worked like a charm. And since all the kids had big numbers on their chests the process was pretty easy. So, I ingest the cards and use Photo Mechanic to rename and put in the generic caption and do the code replacement. Then load the images into Lightroom. Some may ask why do the rename and basic caption in Photo Mechanic instead of just letting Lightroom do it during import. My reason is simply that I cannot stand the fact that Lightroom will not let you EVER alter the original RAW file. I will agree that generally, you do not want to do this, but I think the caption is the exception. Photo Mechanic lets you write the caption to the RAW file and the caption will always be with it. Lightroom writes the caption to the sidecar file and if you lose those sidecar files a year later, you lose the caption. After loaded into Lightroom, I do the edit, and then apply basic color and exposure adjustments to the files I am sending. I do any cropping here and then export to jpg files and FTP them off to ZUMA. Now I subtitled this post, "How fast is fast enough" because, most photographers that I see on shoots here in D.C. are shooting jpg instead of raw. They say raw is too slow. I have to disagree. I know that Getty and AP and Reuters all want images ASAP, but seriously, is an extra 2 or 3 minutes REALLY that big of a deal? I watched an AP photographer at the healthcare bill signing as he shot the first images of the President signing the bill. He pulled the card, put it in the card reader on the laptop that he had sitting next to him and the images where on the way to the picturedesk. I would bet that they showed up on CNN or some other website before the President was done signing the bill. (Only of course because he used about 10 pens.) Is this really necessary? Are we so starved for immediate news that we have to stop shooting to send photos before the moment we are shooing is over? I know that shooting RAW is a bit slower. But while everyone else was fiddling with white balance and tweaking this and that to send maybe 10 images, I sent 160 images within an hour of the semifinals being over. I sent 50 images after the finals and it took only 35 minutes. Hell, I didn't even have a firewire card reader. Don't ask why. Well enough about the process. Here are a few more images from the night. And in case anyone wonders, no, there was no great reaction from the winner. Just a pretty smile.

I decided to spend some time in the Strip District and see if I could make some interesting images. Now before everyone starts smirking, I need to say that the Strip District is a clothing REQUIRED area of the city. The Strip is a one-half square mile area of land just north of the city that is a historic market district with many ethnic food purveyors, art studios, antique dealers, unique boutiques and produce, seafood and ethnic food wholesalers. Unfortunately we were not there over a Friday or Saturday night, when the area comes alive with nightlife, and the weather was not really cooperating either. Here are a few of the images from the trip. ]]> 865 2010-06-10 20:45:38 2010-06-11 01:45:38 open open pittsburgh-strip-district publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock 1276220740 _edit_last 2 medium http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000BLc2Av832is/s thumbnail http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000BLc2Av832is/s tweet_this_url www.bit.ly/bhFcV5 _clicky_goal a:2:{s:2:"id";s:0:"";s:5:"value";s:0:"";} idptt_tweeted 1 677 ylqsales@gmail.com http://www.clshoescn.com/ 121.205.89.153 2010-06-12 21:09:22 2010-06-13 02:09:22 spam 0 0 673 Byod@ymail.com http://calloway-pre-owned.golfclub-discount.us 60.49.248.190 2010-06-11 17:10:06 2010-06-11 22:10:06 spam 0 0 669 fjdisa@asd.com http://www.pharmacytechnicianblog.com/pharmacy-technician-test 173.233.65.154 2010-06-11 04:41:11 2010-06-11 09:41:11 spam 0 0 733 caibni@vtkckk.com http://ohvzipxvmiyk.com/ 96.57.54.83 2010-06-20 06:59:45 2010-06-20 11:59:45 lbvokvsccskb, [url=http://dvswcxppajqr.com/]dvswcxppajqr[/url], [link=http://jlqqbescjulf.com/]jlqqbescjulf[/link], http://zjgddnylznqf.com/]]> spam 0 0 668 Fiallo@aol.com http://www.farmvillegiant.com 193.140.129.139 2010-06-11 04:02:21 2010-06-11 09:02:21 spam 0 0 667 Setchell3773@gmail.com http://www.freelancejobreport.com 173.208.23.140 2010-06-11 03:28:35 2010-06-11 08:28:35 spam 0 0 670 Parco5@gmail.com http://www.superbowljerseys.org 92.247.12.242 2010-06-11 12:26:33 2010-06-11 17:26:33 spam 0 0 672 http://epolygon.com/photojournalism-schools/ 174.132.194.66 2010-06-11 16:18:28 2010-06-11 21:18:28 spam pingback 0 0 676 uneloslesesa@gawab.com http://www.clshoescn.com/ 218.6.8.86 2010-06-12 02:13:54 2010-06-12 07:13:54 spam 0 0 692 Gauldin6170@gmail.com http://www.healthandskinny.com/ 173.208.24.62 2010-06-15 05:59:31 2010-06-15 10:59:31 spam 0 0 744 Barias@ymail.com http://www.superbowljerseys.org/products/New-England-Patriots---s182_p1.html 200.74.218.98 2010-06-21 00:15:44 2010-06-21 05:15:44 spam 0 0 696 Ginkel88@gmail.com http://thewebpages101.com 173.208.70.50 2010-06-15 16:59:47 2010-06-15 21:59:47 spam 0 0 697 Greaux564@gmail.com http://worldcup2010jerseys.net/ms/italy-world-cup-jerseys/umbro-ireland-away-0910-jersey.php 178.208.75.220 2010-06-16 00:47:09 2010-06-16 05:47:09 spam 0 0 712 Hoftiezer6900@gmail.com http://www.healthandskinny.com/ 173.234.31.77 2010-06-17 09:28:50 2010-06-17 14:28:50 spam 0 0 713 http://pittsburgh.ubloglocal.com/?p=420 97.74.144.105 2010-06-17 12:09:18 2010-06-17 17:09:18 1 pingback 0 0 716 Kneip709@hotmail.com http://erhardt.blog.gy/ 208.115.216.197 2010-06-17 21:03:25 2010-06-18 02:03:25 spam 0 0 World Cup Fever Comes to D.C. http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2010/06/13/world-cup-fever-comes-to-d-c/ Sun, 13 Jun 2010 18:09:17 +0000 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/?p=872 Do you know that saying that your first intuition is probably right? There is another favorite of mine used in gambling circles by players of baccarat. "Don't get off the horse until it dies." This is in reference to betting method where you are betting on the "dealer" or the "player" and pressing the bet every time you win. They say you should never pull your bet until you lose it. It sounds nuts but it is sound advice. What does this have to do with photojournalism? Well here was the plan. I was wandering around Dupont Circle during the showing of three of the World Cup matches on big screens to a couple thousand people crowded in the D.C. park that is inside a big traffic circle. Looking for photos of reaction and dejection. I finally decided that the best course was to find a group that was really into the matches and that were being vocal and animated. I found a good group. The score was 1-0 in favor of England over the U.S. and I figured the regardless who scored next, that the American fans I was camping on would give up some good reaction. I was there about 30 minutes, BAKING in the sun and starting to get claustrophobic in the tightly packed, sweaty crowd. It was starting to get unbearable. I had show some emotion, but nothing like I knew would come if the U.S. team scored. So I hung in there. Then with about 4 minutes or so to go in the first half, I gave up. I simply was feeling the heat and the crowd closing in so I made my way toward the outer edge of the circle and some shade. Yep, as you can guess, within two or 3 minutes of me leaving my prime spot. The U.S. scored. The crowd went wild, and I had no good vantage point to get the reaction. Lesson learned. Again. ]]> 872 2010-06-13 13:09:17 2010-06-13 18:09:17 open open world-cup-fever-comes-to-d-c publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock 1276452559 _edit_last 2 medium http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000XWaW87BaZys/s thumbnail http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000XWaW87BaZys/s tweet_this_url www.bit.ly/a1bX3u _clicky_goal a:2:{s:2:"id";s:0:"";s:5:"value";s:0:"";} idptt_tweeted 1 702 Duplechain71@gmail.com http://myeasycookingreicpes.com 64.120.31.217 2010-06-16 11:19:37 2010-06-16 16:19:37 spam 0 0 734 bjrnwu@prwcyx.com http://eeqbnvweopmx.com/ 203.162.147.160 2010-06-20 07:04:02 2010-06-20 12:04:02 szgqfuoetuba, [url=http://inisjiacwwum.com/]inisjiacwwum[/url], [link=http://qpgehsyjbgpo.com/]qpgehsyjbgpo[/link], http://ukmptjgkxmso.com/]]> spam 0 0 730 john_gormann@yahoo.com http://steffanhaeberle.com/professional/seo 67.202.91.74 2010-06-19 21:37:53 2010-06-20 02:37:53 spam 0 0 682 http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2010/06/13/pride/ 64.26.63.28 2010-06-13 13:10:26 2010-06-13 18:10:26 1 pingback 0 0 683 http://bit.ly/d4Pd5E 82.200.46.170 2010-06-13 13:53:21 2010-06-13 18:53:21 Владельцу сайта Pete Marovich - A Washington DC Photojournalist...

This was interesting and a lot of fun. Thousands of spectators lined the parade route that marched up P street and around Dupont Circle. There was a huge "variety" of floats and bands and to my surprise, politicians. The first 20 minutes of the parade was politicians passing out literature to get the LGBT vote in the city. I think politicians should be banned from parades but from the organizer standpoint it is probably hard to do without the $500.00 per entry for elected officials and candidates. I can guarantee that nobody in the crowd came out to see them. I did shoot Mayor Fenty at the beginning, but that was my extent of my interest in them. The crowds were appreciative of the parade participants and everyone seemed to have a great time. Here are some of the photos from the event. ]]> 869 2010-06-13 13:09:53 2010-06-13 18:09:53 open open pride publish 0 0 post 0 _edit_lock 1276452594 _edit_last 2 medium http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I00003UxWLF8lbCI/s thumbnail http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I00003UxWLF8lbCI/s _clicky_goal a:2:{s:2:"id";s:0:"";s:5:"value";s:0:"";} idptt_tweeted 1 tweet_this_url www.bit.ly/bXpFuw 741 motokolo76s34@gmail.com http://moto-minsk.by/tovar/ 89.149.244.89 2010-06-20 19:59:03 2010-06-21 00:59:03 spam 0 0 732 jtfibm@nipyjn.com http://pjnbeazhpfmm.com/ 96.44.148.131 2010-06-20 06:04:07 2010-06-20 11:04:07 vkdmtilkxedf, [url=http://elxkjnrxdrnv.com/]elxkjnrxdrnv[/url], [link=http://zgagjeurkbie.com/]zgagjeurkbie[/link], http://rjxydszyxkrm.com/]]> spam 0 0 684 45y45rama5d@gmail.com http://forums.zynga.com/member.php?u=1408049 89.149.244.89 2010-06-13 20:14:33 2010-06-14 01:14:33 spam 0 0 686 ytbggg@gmail.com http://www.wholesalecoolsunglasses.com/ 218.6.8.86 2010-06-14 02:24:39 2010-06-14 07:24:39 spam 0 0 689 noy.dillon@gmail.com http://tingring.com/videos/ 77.22.165.105 2010-06-14 11:19:08 2010-06-14 16:19:08 spam 0 0 691 ytbgssgg@gmail.com http://www.searchinsurancequote.com/ 121.205.89.153 2010-06-14 22:47:38 2010-06-15 03:47:38 spam 0 0 694 mollery@gmail.com http://moto-minsk.by/tovar/ 89.149.244.89 2010-06-15 08:22:38 2010-06-15 13:22:38 spam 0 0 698 he34fglvetic6@gmail.com http://freefonty.com/helvetica-font-by-max-miedinger/ 89.149.244.89 2010-06-16 09:07:19 2010-06-16 14:07:19 spam 0 0 710 Melia13@gmail.com http://www.bachelorettepartyshoptips.com 80.201.92.67 2010-06-17 03:26:23 2010-06-17 08:26:23 spam 0 0 703 uneloslesesa@gawab.com http://www.clshoescn.com/ 218.6.8.86 2010-06-16 15:47:57 2010-06-16 20:47:57 spam 0 0
