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!!
