This week I have been covering the President's vacation on Martha's Vineyard. I know, most people who know that I am here are telling me that I have it tough. Well, it actually is.

Typical day... Up early to see if there has been movement. If there isn't any movement, I head to where I THINK he might go. I choose the West Tisbury Fair. Good thought at the moment. After two days it doesn't pan out. In fact several of my colleagues have the same thought at one time or another while I am there. At least I am friends with most of them. Nearly everyone at the fair thinks that the president is going to arrive any minute solely based on the fact that I and several other news photographers are on the grounds. Oh boy do we cover that fair.

oh yea, the reason I'm here. Never see him. He skipped the fair.

Tony Allen

Several folks have asked to see my view of the Tony Allen date I had on May 28th...

These are in order by time, and there are two different views because my floor level camera is tethered to my short lens camera to shoot simultaneously.... way too many pictures

















Well, all is well that ends well.
It was a pretty hard hit and it seems as if he didn't really make much of an effort to miss me.
I got a hard hit to the eye socket, a broken pocketwizard and the attention of the team trainer and several of my concerned colleagues. I guess all of us photographers are just one big family.
