http://www.lightstalkers.org/billputnam Finished Iraq scans. Edits are happening as we speak. Might do some portrait tests - on film - next week. Scanning. Still. With many more months to go. Shooting? What's that? Finished my Web site! http://www.billputnam.net Organizing and editing for a Web site. Organizing my life. Well, my office anyway. Bought a video camera. Finished spring semester. On to summer school. Headed to Philly for the big game. Semester's about over. Gotta get motivated. Just ordered a new computer and buying a HDV cam. Work work work planned for the break. Starting school next week. Thank God for the benefits of indentured servitude. Back from Platypus. Gone through a name change. Registered for school. Love it. Done dumping CDs to hard drives. Will continue making digital contact sheets. Interesting looking at that stuff. The Maine Workshops awarded me a full-ride scholarship to attend The Platypus Course this August. Currently, I am chained to my dining room table making digital contact sheets from a decade's worth of negatives. Stay tuned for updates on that. Whilst scanning negatives and chromes, I am researching ways to grow a third arm to competently operate an audio kit. I live near Washington, D.C. covering The Scene for a variety of editorial clients. I also work, from time to time, for NPR as an editorial assistant. I am pursuing a variety of personal projects in the area too. I am returning to university this fall to finish my BA in history. I've considered myself a photojournalist since picking it up just prior to an Army deployment to Kosovo back in 1999. During that deployment I decided to concentrate on this trade full time. After spending 2004 in Baggers I left the Army in June 2005. In September 2005 I returned to Iraq as a civilian photog. Most of my time there was spent embedded with the Army. <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lsglD_S1iiY&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lsglD_S1iiY&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bDTfZkVLtKc"> </param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bDTfZkVLtKc" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> </embed> </object> <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sZWuRHrVDcU"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sZWuRHrVDcU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> <form action="http://www.photoshelter.com/usr-show" method="get"> <input type="text" size="15" name="I_DSC"> <input type="image" src="http://www.photoshelter.com/img/ext/search75x25.gif" align="absbottom" border="0" width="75" height="25" alt="Search PhotoShelter"> <input type="hidden" name="I_USER_ID" value="U0000AKQ96dVNiKo"> <input type="hidden" name="_ACT" value="usrSearch"> <input type="hidden" name="I_DSC_AND" value="t"> <input type="hidden" name="U_ID" value="U0000AKQ96dVNiKo"> </form> en-us Image feeds are temporarily unavailable due to heavy load on the Lightstalkers servers.
