Double the Michelles

So as many of you know the president had a busy day handling everything going on with Gen. McChrystal. As a result, he was not able to attend the event with the first lady announcing the President's Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition. However, as a bonus a couple a couple members of the council were there including Michelle Kwan and Dominique Dawes, hence the blog title because I saw Michelle Obama and Michelle Kwan. Both beautiful and very well dressed might I add. Watch my slideshow of the event here:

Or in case you just want to see a few photos...I think you'll recognize these faces.

Tomorrow might be the busiest day yet in Washington. I have five events to photograph and have time to do about three. This excludes any time it will take to edit and produce and photos or multimedia features I need to do. As a result, I'll have to prioritize not just what I want to attend, but use news judgement to figure out what events are most marketable to Hearst's many newspapers, which are non-negotiables, etc. My editors have been great about helping with that process and guiding me in the right direction. To give you some background on the people I'm working with our bureau chief, Rick Dunham, was the former president of the National Press Club and knows virtually everyone in Washington. Chuck Lewis is our senior editor and former bureau chief before Rick. He also served as AP bureau chief here in Washington and has covered presidents as far back as Ford. Both have had pretty impressive careers to say the least and I know I can learn a lot from them.

I'll let you know what I end up covering tomorrow and of course pictures will follow, but for now I'm calling it an early night.
