DC REPORT’S EXCLUSIVE AMERICAN COVERAGE

I’ve had a news item that I never had a chance to post, but that still seems worth passing on. On Friday, July 23, I finished my photo assignments by noon. I consulted the Reuters daybook and saw that there was a briefing by survivors of Saddam Hussein’s regime in the National Press Building. It sounded like an interesting event.

Here are some photos from my life as a student. These are just some fun shots on campus and around the city. No hard journalism here! As you might guess there a stories that go along with many of these pictures.

A lot of these photos were shot as our time was winding down when my friends and I realized we hadn’t taken many pictures the whole summer. Perhaps these photos will give you a better idea of what my life was like aside from work.

I’ve posted a photo gallery of the Georgetown University campus. Most of my daylight hours were committed to class and internship, so unfortunately I didn’t have a chance to shoot as many photos as I hoped of the campus. Not included in the slideshow are photos of the sporting facilities, student center, the fabulous Riggs Library, the medical school, and other assorted buildings on the back half of campus. I also don’t have photos of Lauinger Library, the awkward 70’s era library that breaks with the classy stone architecture of other Georgetown buildings.

To get a better sense of the layout of the buildings, check out this great shot on the Georgetown School of Business website.

In the last month the situation in Sudan has become the focus of international attention. Initially the magnitude of the Sudan story wasn’t evident, so Knight Ridder’s early coverage was handled by interns. As the only photography intern I was able to watch this story unfold from the first news conference in the cramped Senate Radio and TV Gallery.

I’ve posted another gallery of news photos from my last month in Washington. The photos include travel photos of DC churches, Capitol Hill press conferences, protests, Republican response to the Federal Marriage Amendment vote, and shots of Rumsfeld, Clinton, and the Bushes. Enjoy!

As you may have concluded, I am done with my summer in DC. After my graduation at Georgetown on Friday, my family and I made our way back Greenville with a stopover in Virginia to see family.

I had a hard time keeping up with my blog in DC, so in the next week I hope to continue to update my blog with brief news items that I did not have a chance to share. I also plan to post several more photo galleries–photos from my work assignments as well as photos from my life as a student. I will be sure to indicate when I am done posting for the summer.
