I have been sitting on these pictures for a while because there has just been too much work for me to post but I’m in class and don’t really want to focus on the class work because I was up till 1 writing a paper for this class I need a break so a long overdue post is in order:)
I have always known that breaking news was part my job but I just had not done anything breaking. Until the other week, I was out driving all over looking for a Dave Buhler yard sign for a illustration Lennie was working on. I finally found one and got back in to the office and Lennie said do you know where Steiner is. I did not have time to make sure I was thinking of the right place before Jim Fisher was in the office saying “Come on Tyler this is breaking news get moving!” I garbed my camera and my flash, and was out the door as fast as I could go. Anna filled me in on the car ride over. They had ammonia leak and had evacuated an entire block.
Once we there we found out that it was at the end of the leek and they were almost had it all cleaned up. So but I was there to get county officials being briefed by one of the firefighters. Then we went up to the building because it was safe. So I was shooting the firefighters cleaning up their stuff when the wind kicked up and made it hard to shoot but I still got some stuff. After the wind had died down a bit I was trying to find Anna but I could not find her then she called and so had found a guy that was going to give us a ride back to my car because it was raining now and the car was far away.
Only a few days later I took an assignment to shoot a woman’s self defense seminar I was shooting it not getting much when my phone rang and it was Dustin our news editor telling me that Trax had hit a car over a by Rice-Eccles Stadium so I left the class and ran over to the accident. It was a bad accident the train had hit the car right on the driver’s side of the car.
After having a problem dealing with the firefighters I was not getting much so I left to go edit my pictures at the office. This was an exciting experience that I enjoyed because no one was seriously hurt in ether event.
