About me and other, class-related schtuff

Now that a proper "About me [LINK]" page has been created, let me drop a line or two about my expectations and my personal project for the semester.

Expectations: Honestly, this is perhaps the first time I've felt any excitement about my education at UA since transferring in 2009.

In recent years, professionally, I've begun to pick up the occasional gig as a production assistant, working video shoots in and around NW Arkansas.

The money is very good, but the biggest thrill is that of working around motion picture production.

Sure, my first love is for the still frame, but I can pursue that on my own. I get a charge out of working as a team on video shoots, and I love the pace.



Regarding my final project for the semester, I think I'll take a stab at presenting a friend of mine, a silversmith, via a brief documentary piece. More on that, later.

Regarding Mark Krause, Alleged Arkansas Soda Can Bomber

A man with local ties, Mark Krause, was recently apprehended in Seattle, WA, on charges he is the individual responsible for the improvised explosive device planted at Osage Baptist Church earlier this year.

I am the copyright owner of images of Mark appearing at Talking Points Memo (since removed; I appreciate managing editor, David Kurtz, taking swift action) and elsewhere. At this time, the only entity to receive my permission to run my images is the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. All other usage is unauthorized.

If you are found to be using my copyrighted materials you will be notified to cease and desist immediately. Failure to comply will result in legal action. That you located the image(s) on Myspace or Facebook or via Google Image Search matters not.

If you are interested in using my photographs of Mark Krause, submit a query to me at nelsonfoto@cox.net and I will respond in short order.

I will update this page as needed.

[edited to note TPM action on my requested C&D]

Thank you in advance.
