I'm a Photo & Video journalist at the Detroit Free Press. Enjoy seeing and watching creative ideas, pictures and video on the web for inspiration, knowledge and humor. For me video storytelling at a newspaper is fun, creative and challenging. With great visuals, audio, story structure and the edit, video can be such a powerful way to tell stories!!

I went to the Apple Store tonight and bought a new mouse for my MacBook Pro 🐭🧀💻🤣 When you live in a subdivision built on what was farmland, this is what you get once in awhile inside your home especially when the cold of the fall and winter come. Rhonda Seals wanted nothing to do with it and ran upstairs. We can't figure out how the cute little thing I named Reggie, got into our house but our two cats Polly and Pioneer were terrible at catching the little guy as it ran for its' life around the living room. Eventually I caught Reggie then brought out the litepanels for a quick photo shoot before him taking him outside. Now gotta figure out how he got in because where there is one (and he was a baby about 1 inch long) there are more. #mouse #mice #miceofinstagram #mouseinthehouse #macbookpro #macbook (at House Mouse)

Reason 73 why #photojournalists are always a mess, we don’t care where we shoot from as long as the angle makes the picture better 😃📷👍🏽 I was on assignment today for @detroitfreepress at Detroit’s beautiful Murals in the Market at Eastern Market today when reporter Ashley Zlatopolsky stealthily shot me with her iPhone. The mural is a collaboration by artist “BMike” and Rick Williams. The chihuahua is named Frank 🐶 who was patiently waiting for his owners to move on to the next mural during their mural walking tour. #photography #photographer #journalism #detroit #murals @easternmarket #muralsinthemarket (at Detroit's Historic Eastern Market)

A painting in an alley behind Cass Tech High School in Detroit. I almost wanted to jump the fence at the football field to keep it if it was put out as trash #artwork #detroit #art #artofinstagram (at Cass Technical High School)

"A lanky man with close-cropped, graying hair, Sieting wears boots on his feet, tattoos on his arms and a 9mm Glock on his hip. His speaking voice sounds like Ted Nugent and his politics do, too." Enjoyed working with my @detroitfreepress colleague John Wisely on this story. Glad we were able to track Sieting down and that he was willing to do a sit down interview with us. He's the Kalkaska village president who has sparked a national controversy for his anti-Muslim, African-American and transgendered posts on Facebook that he wrote or re-shared. "One post, which he shared from another author, ended with a call to kill all Muslims, "every last one of them." About African-Americans; "Arm yourselves. These sons of bitches need a swift lesson in justice!," Sieting wrote in a post sharing a video purporting to show a Trump supporter being attacked by two black men." "In another post over a story about a transgender teacher, Sieting wrote: "Their mental illness is only contagious if you tolerate their disgusting rhetoric. These freaks need to be called out." Check out the story and video here --> http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2017/08/06/recall-trump-kalkaska-president-islam/534127001/ (at Kalkaska, Michigan)
