The Dream Team

We are certainly a couple of nerds... We find joy in pans, zooms and off tripod action. Although the two of us are very different, Andrew and I are kindred spirits of the photog variety. We love what we do. Andrew's past news experience has taken him to what we call "the show" while mine has been a more uniquely amateur road but with our hearts following a similar love we find ourselves here- Abilene, TX KTAB/KRBC. Being the only 2 news photographers for 2 entire stations we often find ourselves pulling off minor miracles to get the job done. The rush is what drives us and the occasional exhaustion and bitterness that define all that is amazing about this thing that we love. We had the rare chance to chat this week. In discussion we realized our dynamic may be one of our station's best in recent years. Being only two, our weaknesses are atoned in the strengths of one another.

Proud of our geekiness and modestly honest about shortcomings, we are a special little team.

As such, we are happy to welcome a new member to our overly sentimental photographer contingent. A new camera joined the team this month. She brought with her a new wide angle lens, light and wireless mic system. She was initiated today. A faulty tripod sent her on a frightful dive. She weathered the fall with only flesh wounds but the fresh scars make her quite official. She lacks only a name. We have tossed several around the news room and finally settled on a gender but we have yet to choose a name. We are open for ideas. It has to be tough and ugly to make the cut... Agnus is a strong competitor at this point but post your ideas and we will throw them in the pool.
