I haven't been posting on here very often because I've been working on a number of long term projects that have been very demanding. Here are a few of my favorite videos from the past months.
My favorite is this piece on Jeff Hornagold, who lost his battle with lung cancer. A newsroom secretary gave me is obit and he and his family sounded very interesting. I called the funeral home and asked his wife, Judy, if I could come and shoot his funeral in the morning. She said that I could come and that Jeff would have loved to be in the newspaper.
His funeral and family stuck out to me because they were not going to use a hearse to the church from the funeral home, they were going to use a UPS truck. Jeff was a 20 year UPS worker and it was a job he loved. His best friend Mike McGowan delivered him to the church, dressed in a cleanly pressed brown uniform. What a great send-off. Jay Leno even talked about the funeral in his monologue later that week.
