25 Years of Saturdays

We’re in the process of re-vamping our work schedule here in the Tribune photo department. I was talking with one of my colleagues, Al Hartmann, about things. Al said, “After twenty-five years of working Saturdays, I think I’m ready to be a Monday through Friday guy.”

I can’t get this thought out of my mind: What I wouldn’t pay to have a coffee table book of Al’s work, titled “Twenty-Five Years of Saturdays.” Any publishers out there?

ParentsEmpowered Press Conference

Covered a press conference put on by ParentsEmpowered, a state-run program aimed at eliminating teenage drinking. That’s Utah’s First Lady Mary K. Huntsman (above) delivering a video message to the group.

I must have been completely out of sync with Ruben Garza of ACE Disposal (above). I clicked off frames as he spoke, but the first five caught him in mid-blink. Luckily there was frame six.
