I just found one of my pay stubs from 2004. I truly do take home $5.72 less per week in 2022. I've had a total of $3.64 an hour in raises in 18 years. My health insurance has gone from 29.30 wk in 2004 to $266 wk in 2022. And that's also being forced from BCBS to Kaiser this year

Unannounced drills like these are traumatizing given that shootings regularly occur on school campuses. Going into lockdown and not knowing whether you’ll survive the school day is a terrifying experience that no student should have to go through.

Got to say I liked the design of The Capital A1 today. Doesn't hurt they're my pix, lol. I also liked the crop of hat toss. That Marine was going for it. More great pix and wonderful stories inside. Run out to buy a copy. I'll autograph it for you if I see you on the street.

I want to share pix I've made of my #CapitalGazette family lost in senseless act of violence. It's bittersweet for me to find/share them with you, but I wanted you to see the awesome people I worked with. Rob Hiaasen works on our final evening edition before going to mornings.

Good morning. Been a rough week. Ups/downs. Finally got a decent shower and could shave my Heart Attach Bypass Beard. I can start my home three month's recouping beard. Got doctor's appointments here today and in VA. tomorrow. I get by with a little help from my friends. Thanks

Heading over the Naval Academy bridge after covering a parade in Annapolis I saw this fog bank on the Severn River and had to stop for a photo. I saw it like this once before and made a nice image.

The only other times I've cried this hard is when my parents and brother died. Today we celebrated the life of #WendiWinters . She was part of my #CapitalGazette family. I hope I'm not over sharing. Please read more about the day at

I'm thinking of the tragic events of June 28, 2018 and playing music to remind me of my lost Capital Gazette family. Rob Hiaasen was a huge James Taylor fan so that's 1st. I was lucky to get out alive. I think of those we lost every day. I hope to make them proud at The Capital.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge shot from Ft Armistead as I waited for a full Pink Moon to rise in April 2018. Wish I shot more pix of FSK while waiting for full moons to rise at the park. Missing the more recent old days of waiting for moons there. Be Kind to one another.

This story is insane and the Marion County Kansas police department must be held accountable. This was done to shut down this paper and nothing else. The restaurant owners DUI should have been public record anyway.

WTF man. There are still hardworking real journalists working at The Sun and The Capital Gazette. We are always going to do our best to bring our readers the truth. Way to stick the knife into fellow journalists backs.

If you live in Maryland and you care about democracy and believe in real journalism, cancel your subscription to @baltimoresun as it falls under fascist control, let em know why you did, and if you aren't already subscribed to @BaltimoreBanner then do so ASAP. Sad times in B-more

I took real pictures for first time in over two months, with a real camera, my lighter #Nikon Z6, yesterday in Washington D.C. Baby steps on my road to heart recovery. Hope to be back at @capgaznews September 23. This was my favorite. The cloud reflections caught my eye.

I survived a mass shooting. My head was almost shot off. Five of my fellow Capital Gazette family members were killed. I've an idea of what is going through these survivors minds. It'll change them forever. The lives lost will change their families forever. Killings need to stop.

I met Bill today at the Annapolis Comic-Con. He had a camera around his neck. I said "Is that a Leica?" He got a big smile on his face. We started talking cameras. The ice was broken. I asked to shoot his portrait. I love meeting nice people. Be Kind

Sharing these moments are part of why I love being a photojournalist @capgaznews in Anne Arundel County. Not part of my assignmnt, but when I saw the joy/surprise of school custodian Darlene McGowan announced as @AACountySchools employee of the month I had to capture it. Congrats
