About a week ago I spent the day traveling in a tiny car around the city. The heads of several departments, my camera and I went from site to site for the school's annual Volunteer Day. I documented everything I saw along the way. After about five hours I had seen an amazing amount of effort and time put in by hundreds of volunteers, all the while taking pictures of everything I found interesting. The school community did an amazing job in making a change, but what I found especially amazing was the speed that my images traveled at. Once I went home, I uploaded about two hundred photographs to my computer. I edited several, and broke it down to about twenty final images. I quickly emailed out these hours, and within two hours I was recieving emails of thanks and being told that they had already hit the internet. Just five hours prior, the event had still been taking place. I was shocked and impressed by how quickly media and information can travel in this new digital world. I feel that what I did by taking photographs allowed for news to travel more efficiently as it can be said that images speak a thousand words.

I was at one of the sites and when someone came in to take photographs, I stopped and thought about the day from their point of view. It must have been a great experience to go from site to site and watch everythin, taking pictures. From what I've seen your photographs are really incredible, and it really is amazing how quickly news can travel now...
