Last multimedia at Dispatch

This was my last soundslides at the Dispatch. Friday is my last day, but I am off with a BOOM. My last assignment will be covering Red, White & Boom!!

Remember the winter!

I know, is almost summer time here in Ohio, but just wait 5 minutes!

Metronome House

I made this video of the Metronome House a long time ago in media terms. It was a cold night in February, 2009!

German Village Haus und Garten Tour 2009

New Soundslide
Sometimes you don't get to be in a situation to make breaking news photographs, like this home and garden tour assignment. You can still make this challenging by adding sound. I think the audio of the home owners, the description of their home and the love they have for them helps make OK photos a bigger part of the story.

Does what we do matters and does it actually have an impact in the way we see our world?

Yes, it does.

Photographing babies and rescuing turtles- the story of a photojournalist

You know there has to be more to this story, and there is.

1- The assignment:
Photograph mother, baby and grandmother.
The reason: Baby was delivered by grandmother in the hospital's garage parking lot!
Result: a nice simple little photo of the 3 in the Dispatch A-01!

2- The turtle.
It was attempting to cross a country road as I drove away from my assignment and it was not going to make it to the other side.
New assignment: Save the turtle!!!!
Solution: Stop traffic, take turtle away from the road.

New Problem: What to do with turtle? I cannot trust it will just stay away from the road.
New assignment: Take turtle to a save location.
Solution: Use google GPS on blackberry to search for a large pond to release turtle. Love that technology!

--Unfortunately for the turtle the pond that I choose for it was over 10 miles away from where it met me, but I am sure that it will make new friends there!!

Great Project

So some of my posts are not in the right order since I changed blogs, but this project needs to be here.

This is the type of project that I love to do (and most multimedia photojournalists) long documentary projects. As I was gathering all the pieces for the post-production, I noticed that it was going to be hard to just to have audio come in with no intro. Usually, I think about using a narrator, but in this case the story line needed it. Enter the reporter!

Not only did the Dispatch have us the time to work on this project, great space inside for a dynamic layout, but also the cover.

Pearl Alley Market

Here is a small video I did for the Columbus Dispatch on the Pearl Alley Market. It was a wild art photo assignment that came out of the morning news meeting, but I figured it was a good opportunity to do a little video too. Multimedia is also "multitasking"

You can't go wrong with if you start with praying mantis eggs!!!

Water Rescue Training

This was a fun self-assignment because I got to wear all their gear and play in the water. Cameras and audio recorder did get a little wet, but all survived.

Soundslides

Let's see if this works...

It did!, now I have will add more soundslides. Got to love that multimedia.

Memorial for Ohio fallen police officers

I took these photographs on an assignment covering a Memorial to honor fallen Ohio police officers at Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy in London, Ohio on Tuesday, May 05, 2009.

New Attempt

This is my second blog and my new attempt at actually keeping one up-to-date and well organized. My other blog is http://leonardocarrizo.wordpress.com/  and if you take a look at it you'll see it is not very well organized.

I hope to add some of my photographs here and see what happens.
