Yesterday was an exciting day of bouncing back and forth between two major hearings. On the House side, I was photographing the CEO of BP, Tony Hayward, and on the Senate side I was photographing Secretary Clinton, Secretary Gates, Secretary Chu, and Admiral Mullen who were testifying together on the New START Treaty. The underground subways that connect the buildings and that I have access to with my press pass definitely came in handy that day. So as the title of my post mentions while I was at the Hayward hearing I was in photos taken by the NY Times and AP. As a result, I was in the lead photos on nytimes.com, latimes.com, and politico.com for a few hours yesterday. I'm also in the front page photos in the print edition of the New York Times, Denver Post, St. Petersburg Times, and Chicago Daily Herald. And yes, I have a copy of the New York Times and my mom probably has more. So it wasn't my photo on the front pages, but I thought being able to see myself on the front pages was pretty cool too.
Here is the link to the NY Times photo followed by a few photos of my own from Thursday.

From left to right Secretary of Energy Chu, Secretary of State Clinton, Secretary of Defense Gates, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Admiral Mullen. There's a lot of power in that picture and don't they all look thrilled to be there.
MERE!
