Wednesday (June 16) I had two interesting photo assignments. My first shoot was a news conference in one of the Senate office buildings. Ted Kennedy–flanked by two Harvard Law professors–explained why there should be a independent Congressional investigation into human right’s violations in Iraq. Kennedy called for impeachment reaching as high up the chain of command as necessary. Kennedy’s feigned non-partisan tone was betrayed when at one point he muttered that he thought the best way to correct the problems was to elect John Kerry President.
Later that day I joined one of the writing interns to cover a photo-op with Actress Angelina Jolie in the Senate Building. Jolie is a UN Refugee Agency Goodwill Ambassador. She was on the Hill to meet with Richard Lugar (R-IN), Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
