I’m finally in the process of transitioning my site to mikehaskew.com.  It’ll be in process for the next little bit, but if you want to go ahead and grab the new RSS feed, you’ll be one of the cool kids…

I’ll post a big announcement, probably give away fantastical prizes when it’s ready to go.  In the short term, it will be functioning more as a portfolio.

Thanks for following!

Looking for Work

Well, it’s been quite a week. I arrived at the office on Friday morning, ready to work hard all day, then head out of town for a weekend trip. After working for a while, my boss came by my door and said he needed to meet with me. I knew what was about to happen.

Our company had lost some expected funding, so I was part of the workforce laid off on Friday. That started the roller coaster of thoughts and emotions that we’re still riding. Right away, I felt helpless, without any idea of what to do. Thank God for my amazing wife, who was there when I needed her. We went straight to work brainstorming, making contacts, and praying for direction.

I’ve been working in media production for the past year, doing a little of everything from Photography to Print Media to Video and Web Design. I’d love to continue in the field if I can find an opening somewhere. If you know of anyone looking for a photographer, graphic designer, videographer, copywriter, or chimney sweep, let me know!

I’ll be adding work to my portfolio on this page over the next few days. Go to mikehaskew.com and click on the medium in the tabs above to see a little of what I’ve done. Tell your friends!

Interview with new White House Photographer

I love photography and politics, so this is a win + win in my mind.  This morning on NPR’s Morning Edition, President Elect Obama’s new White House photographer Pete Souza was interviewed.  I heard his name yesterday when the new official Presidential portrait was released, the first to be taken on a digital camera (Canon, bummer).  

I think Souza has one of the coolest jobs around.  Having access to private moments and meetings with the President, the chance to take timeless photographs that will record history for generations to come would be incredible.  I could get into photojournalism.

BTW – Souza was also a photographer for President Reagan, and mentions a photo he took in Red Square with Reagan which has then KGB agent Vladmir Putin in the crowd.  Funny stuff.
