Audio Slideshow

Deputy Mundell Memorial Service

In the past few weeks, I’ve had to cover more police memorial services than I thought I would experience in a lifetime. Here is a piece to honor Pierce County sheriff’s deputy Kent Mundell Jr.


The Gift of an Arm

One of the greatest parts of working at The Seattle Times is being able to work with photographers such as Alan Berner. Alan is one of the best people and therefore one of the best photojournalists I know. He cares about the people he photographs and he puts his heart each into each story. Alan made a picture story on Abeynah Adefris, an Ethiopian boy receiving two prosthetic arms here in Seattle, and I had the priveledge of making that work into an audio slideshow.


Lakewood Police Memorial

This is my attempt to honor the four slain Lakewood Police Officers with coverage of their memorial. It uses photos made by The Seattle Times staff as well as the Associated Press photo staff in Seattle. It was very difficult to work on, and very difficult for me to watch. I hope I honored them well.


WTO protests in Seattle: looking back 10 years later

This week marks the tenth anniversary of the 1999 protests against the World Trade Organzation, the “Battle in Seattle.” Here, Harley Soltes, who was a Seattle Times photographer at the time, and John Sellers, who was a protest organizer, talk about that week and the years since.


Seattle news breaks in South Carolina

Today I had to answer the question, how do you report on Seattle news that breaks in South Carolina?

Boeing was supposed to announce their decision about whether a new assembly plant would be built in Washington or in South Carolina. We were ready to run out and cover the announcement. Then, a wrench was thrown into our plan: the announcement was to be made on the floor of the South Carolina State Senate. They would have a live video cast online we had permission to use. We linked to it, and I recorded the audio. After the speech was made, I edited with audio with some of Mike Siegel’s images he made on a recent trip and viola! Multimedia reporting on breaking news. I hope every day of my new job here at The Seattle Times will be this fun.
