Egypt: Not far from home
2011.02.10
Between the third and the sixth of February I interviewed five Egyptians about what was happening in their country and took portraits of them posed loosely like officeholders. Now that Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak has said he will not step down, the hopes of the people of Egypt to rule their own country look slightly perilous; however, the good nature and optimism of those I talked to make me think the movement will succeed, eventually.
The photos and brief story appeared in today's paper, and an audio slideshow was uploaded to the website.

I know I'm supposed to keep a journalistic distance, even during sports, so it's almost uncouth to say something about how I felt at the end of IU's 64-63 loss to the University of Iowa on Saturday. Still, speaking as a student, I was devastated. Fortunately, that devastation only set in after I was done with the journalistic part of the job.

I get bored of doing the same thing the same way, as I'm sure everyone does. That, coupled with a faulty 70-200 lens and a new Nikon D300 body, got me to move to a different place for this game. I stayed courtside for the first half, but during the second half I wandered to a few places in the seats near the section gates. I hadn't seen a game TV-style in a long time, and it was refreshing.
(Lots of credit go to James Brosher, who both sold me the D300 and has written about this previously.)
