Words and photos, photos and words: Here's a short blog post for your reading and hopefully, viewing pleasure. http://mckibbinsscribblins.com/2020/11/21/words-and-photos-photos-and-words/
As a wordsmith, I've always focused on writing and its ability to tell a story. But I've also admired how photographers and the photojournalists I've had the pleasure of working with tell stories just as effectively.
Sometimes more effectively.
Sometimes more effectively.
I have taken my fair share of photos, too, as a journalist. And I understand the lure of framing and composing just the right shot. Not that I'm great at it, but I recently came across many of my photos — not all taken for professional reasons — that still reasonate.
Some were published, others were taken for personal reasons. So I decided to upload them to this website's portfolio pages ( https://mckibbinsscribblins.com/project-type/photography/), since I still take a photo every now and then for a story I've been assigned.
It is another skill I've developed over my career, and that's what this site is all about, right?
