update

finally have images up from the dominican republic trip on my site (see below for the web addy) - it's under mission of mercy on the update section in case anyone wants to check. still tweaking with toning as i did it from the laptop so if anything looks weird: color, hues etc, please feel free to lemme know.

no captions yet but the summation is i went with a medical team from connecticut for a week to the d.r. - the team provided medical care and surgeries to a community lacking medical resources.

it was great to have such access to the operating rooms and recovery areas, i'm grateful they entrusted me with the access, especially given today's restriction in the medical field.

i'm going ho-ho-home


leave in the a.m. for north cakalaky. it'll be weird not taking pictures and working after this blitz but it'll be great to see so many people i care about and have bojangles biscuits once again. here's an outtake from an assignment today.

blog slow down

so i'm going to start waiting to blog stuff here until after it gets published in general, and right now i'm in the hopper on a lot of things so no posts atleast until the weekend or early next week for those who are bored enough to look here.

i've also finally done an update on my website:

www.rosstaylor.net

it's under the section, well, called update

hopefully soon i'll also have work up from the dominican project by next week on the site too.

ho-ho-ho

this woman at left is suing a healthcare company claiming that due to negligence she had to get her legs amputated due to an unattended infection. the woman at right is only 38. i felt so sorry for them, but hopefully the picture will raise awareness of the problems of our nursing care industry.

tree food ornament


and one more food ornament - made from a dried apple.

decorate with food


here's a detail from a shoot about decorating with food - the photograph is showing the basic ingredients one can use.

food fun


had to shoot christmas cookies, which ended up being a challenge because the cookies we were working with for the assignment didn't link visually to the holiday as the cookies were from recipes that weren't in the line of traditional christmas shapes etc. but it was really fun trying to make up something that would work - left room on top of the photo where the headline will be on the page.
