Here's a favorite from my most recent Navy assignment. It was Family Day during the drill weekend, so it was nice to witness some of these tough guys sharing a special moment with their kids : ) Click image for link

Wasn't one of my personal favorites, but it did get published : ) Click image for link

Using my 70-300 lens, I was able to get about 6ft away

I took this shot about 10 seconds before he got spooked and ran off

My assignment was to photograph a place ... all the other beach shots looked like your typical FL beach sunset, but this one stood out for me

My friend's son ... he didn't know I was there b/c I was using my 70-300 zoom lens : )

Trying industrial/commercial style photography

Playing around with fashion/commercial style photography

The assignment was to photograph a job or hobby ... I wanted to capture how worn & tattered ballet shoes become from all the hard work & practice that goes into the finished performance

This little man had a BIG personality! (only 3yrs old!)

ACC Championship Game (Ga Tech vs Clemson)

The next morning this photo was all over the media … too bad the pro sports photographer beside me beat me to the punch! Guess those are the breaks sometimes. (photo taken 12/6/09)

Here’s the link to my 2nd story that was just published: http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=52072

My goal with this story was to try and make, what could have been a dry & boring story, interesting enough so that people would want to to read it — if Navy News Stand picked it up, I guess I’m on the right track.

Although I do have to recognize the guidance and support I’ve been given by my fellow MC’s & the PAO community … I especially want to thank MC1 Hannon and MC2 Kapica for being my “training wheels” on this story!

I intend to use this as my “creative” archive, primarily posting images I’ve taken in the Navy, along with some other stuff along the way. I welcome your feedback and constructive criticism, and ask that if you plan to use any of these photos  (or stories), just please let me know where they will be posted so that I can keep track of where they’ve been!

So far, I’ve had 3 of my images published, and one story — but they’re not always my favorites that get picked up! So this will serve as my gallery of favorites, as well as published photos.

It’s a work in progress, so I’ll continue to add more images (as I find the time!).

My “galleries” are listed in the categories sections on the right …

I hope you enjoy : )

Besides getting to attend some really cool events, I’ve got to admit that the most exciting part for me is when a picture I took, or a story I wrote, gets published for the whole world to see! It’s a new hobby for me to just google my name and see what comes up (say what you want, but that makes me famous in my book!) … but keep in mind there’s a professional poker player with the same name, so if you feel the urge, search “Jennifer P Harman” ;~)

These are my images & stories that have been published …
