Finally Our Snow Turn
Seems like every other state got a big snow this year. For some reason upstate New York was a little behind. Until now.

Polar Plunge
Jumping into frozen waters with air temps at a toasty 37 degrees and a nice 10 mph wind, these guys raised over $13,000 for COARC, a local not-for-profit that assists those with developmental disabilities. They almost made it look fun and painless!

Dairy Farmer
Dairy farmers are hardcore. I called at 9:00 am to see when I could come take a photo of Jim Davenport, of Ancram, milking the herd for a news story, and he said I was already 5 hours late. So I had to catch the second shift at 4:00 pm.

Hudson, NY Amtrak
Was on assignment in Hudson so decided to swing by the Amtrak Station to see what was happening on a cold Saturday afternoon. Apparently not much! But here are a few still life scenes to share, which is a different approach for me since I usually photograph people and not things.

Conference Highlights from Louisville, KY
The National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty (NCADP) flew me out to Louisville, KY the other weekend to document their annual conference. Over 350 people attended from across the United States, and was one of the best I've been to. Here are some photo highlights from the weekend:
Above: Sister Helen Prejean waits behind Emcee Magdaleno Rose-Avila before being introduced at the evening awards dinner.
Above left: Anthony (Tony) Amsterdam gives an acceptance speech after receiving his award at the conference. Amsterdam argued and won the famous death penalty case Furman v. Georgia in 1972, in which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled on the requirement for a degree of consistency in the application of the death penalty.

Musician Steve Earle performs at the evening awards dinner after receiving an award for his outspoken work on the death penalty.
Above left: David Kaczynski (right), brother of the infamous Unabomber, shares a laugh during a workshop with Celeste Fitzgerald, program director of NJADP.
Above right: Attendees at the conference enjoy the Sunday morning interfaith reflection service.
Above: Ron Keine (left) and Shujaa Graham (right) were both wrongfully convicted and spent several years on death row before proving their innocence. Both are actively working across the US and abroad to educate others about the injustice of capital punishment.
Above: While not the most visually striking photo of the hundreds I shot of speakers at the podium, I have to share it here because when I saw this man's eyes through my camera, I was taken aback. This photo was taken of Dr. Allen Ault as he recounted about his experiences as the warden at the maximum security prison in Georgia where executions were carried out during his time there. The look was a glazed stare - what I imagine those who come home from war look like as the relive their experiences through thought or through speaking. These eyes will haunt me forever, knowing what they have seen.
