Tonight Dr. Temple Grandin spoke on autism there. Originally scheduled for the comparatively tiny Lehr dining room, the lecture was to Pucille Gym because of, I assume, overwhelming demand. It’s not many lecturers there that have a currently running HBO feature film made about them. Add in, it looks like a surefire Emmy for Claire Danes, who plays Grandin in the film, you’ve got an event that would nearly max out capacity at Pucillo Gym.

To say Dr. Grandin is a high functioning autistic person is to describe me as a high functioning primate. She’s brilliant. She’s an entertaining and informative speaker. Much funnier than I expected. She was very engaged with the audience. One of the hurdles I had to jump tonight was not distracting her while she spoke. At the beginning she asked if everyone could stay seated as much as possible as it’s distracting for her to have people moving around in her field of vision. Frankly, I think it would be distracting for anyone, obviously, moreso for her. Needless to say, I picked the wrong night to be covered in a red polo shirt. I was like an enormous “look at me target”. I only used flash for a few shots as that was extremely difficult for her. I tested that out before she even started speaking and ditched the flash. Sad, as the gym was darkened somewhat.

So I spent the evening lurking around corner and hiding behind things. In fact, the only shots of her face on were taken from the very back of the gym with me hiding behind the bleachers or people standing. Most of the shots are from behind her and above her.

A wonderful lecture. It’s a privilege to get shoot people such as Dr. Grandin.

Here is the entire gallery. Here are a few samples.

This is how you put a baby to sleep. I had no idea. It’s like the Vulcan Nerve Pinch for babies I guess.

There’s been a flurry of year end activity at Millersville University.

Here’s Vyner Award winner , Nate Sheffer playing the Jazz & Java event at MU.

And here’s Dr. Keith Wiley conducting the ensemble.

There’s a ton of new MU work, you can see it all here in the Millersville main gallery.

My good friend Jason Mundok held his first in a series of home concerts dubbed, The Wood Stove Concerts. They are amazing events and redefine the artist’s relationship with the audience (and the music is stellar to say the least). Here’s one shot of Jason and his ensemble, Living Fables.

Here’s something I don’t do very often, basic portraiture. Below is a shot from a set done for the girl’s first communion. I should do more of this stuff, it was a lot of fun.

A shot from a set of this year’s YWCA Race Against Racism.

A did a lot of shooting surrounding the Launch Music Conference. Here is one shot from a late night show at the Chameleon.

That’s a busy week.

Two things stand out here.

One, I love my work. Look at what I get to do.

Second, Lancaster is an amazing place. The variety of things to do in any given week is simply astounding. The beautiful surroundings, the friendly people. I love my city.

Today I’m working on a jewelry catalog and web site, a catalog for a racing products manufacturer and work for the rest of the my regular clients.

And, as Linda Ellerbee used to say, so it goes…

Tourist or Terrorist?
Shelby County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI teach people to spot potential terrorists.
BY BIANCA PHILLIPS | APRIL 3, 2008

Elvis fan or al-Qaeda operative? You make the call.

A man walking through Tom Lee Park pauses to snap a photo of the iconic Hernando DeSoto Bridge. Another man shoots pictures of numerous downtown buildings.

Many would assume the men are tourists taking in the city’s sights, but law enforcement officials say they could be terrorists staking out possible targets.

The scenarios were described at an anti-terrorism town hall meeting last week hosted by the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office. The meeting, held at Cordova’s First Assembly of God Church, was one of four public meetings that occurred in conjunction with Operation Sudden Impact, a new local anti-terrorism initiative.

“You may think a guy is just shooting pictures, but if you report it to us, we’ll send it on to the FBI and they may have four or five other reports of the same thing,” said Richard Pillsbury with the Tennessee Fusion Center, a collaboration between the Department of Safety and the Department of Homeland Security.

Shelby County sergeant Larry Allen warned attendees at the meeting to look for people who appear to be doing surveillance outside public buildings, such as shopping malls.
