We'll I'm trying to at least. :) Check out some of my daily snaps on my Instagram, linked here.
Here is a snap from yesterday. Nabi :3
Nabi... looking at ghosts?!
The Many Shirts of #BernieorBust
Here are some photos from the #BernieofBust Rally across from Philadelphia City Hall on DNC Day Two (Tuesday, July 26, 2016).
A little more than one hundred Bernie Sanders supporters showed up for the #BernieorBust rally. Here is a shirt from one of Bernie's supporters.
This gentleman could not have made a clearer statement during the #bernieorbust rally on DNC Day Two. He was livestreaming - meaning there is a video out there on the internet of me asking this man for a photo of his shirt. If you find it, please send it my way.
This gentleman's homemade shirt sends a clear message. Stop Killing. Stop Racism.
This young man lost his Nokia cell phone during the #bernieorbust rally. He was on the stage afterwards asking folks to return his phone if they happened to stumble upon it. I hope he found his phone.
Bernie Bros don't have a great image - often being called misogynistic in the media. This Bernie Bro picked up after himself and his friends at the end of the #bernieorbust rally.
These shirts were also quite popular. A polite way to say, "FU!" at the Convention. Frank Underwood is one of the main characters on "House of Cards". Spoiler?
Black Men for Bernie organized a couple of the events protesting during the week. A better way to describe their events would be appreciation events; as in appreciation for Bernie Sanders, but I'm not sure that other protesters saw it that way.
These shirts were made by this Bernie supporter who came all the way from Yolo County, CA. I love a good pun.
There were quite a few "Bernie Sand Wars" inspired t-shirts worn by Bernie Sanders supporters. Bernie Sand Wars is a parody that can be seen on YouTube. A takeoff on the famous line from Princess Leia in Star Wars: A New Hope, the shirt states, " Help us, Bernie Sanders. You're our only hope."
Occupy DNC 2016
DNC Day One
I'm in Philly to cover the DNC this week. Here are some photos from Monday, July 25, 2016.
Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein speaks at on how both the GOP and Democrats have left behind so many after the Republican National Convention and #DNCleak during the "March of Our Lives" rally on July 25, 2016 in Philadelphia, PA.
Many supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders came to Philadelphia for the DNC, not to show their support to the Democratic Party and its Convention, but to protest items that came to light with #DNCleak. People of all ages, young and old, gathered by Philadelphia City Hall on July 25 to march and protest the Democratic National Committee.
Philadelphia Police were very present throughout the DNC. The police were very well organized and professional - answering questions by puzzled locals and defusing situations between rival protesting groups. Here the police line up to keep march participants near the sidewalk until the protest from Philadelphia City Hall to Wells Fargo Center began.
Rebranding: Logo
Our Identity, Our Story
Dan Lee Photo needed to start the journey of establishing its own identity and story. With the social experience of photography changing, thanks to Instagram and Snapchat, it was important for Dan Lee Photo to make its mark and find an identity that illustrates its values and mission. Everyone is a photographer but not everyone can be a storyteller.
The process
We tested out a few third-party options, even seeking the services of a NYC-based brand consultant. But those initial designs just didn’t work for us. We knew we wanted to keep the specific shade of blue, which Dan has been using in his work since his high school days, and we wanted a more modern, cleaner, and defined look. While Dan slept, I was determined to reshape our brand that expressed our values.
Dan Lee Photo: Redefined, Refocused
Our goal is to tell stories, to give and our new logo defines what makes Dan Lee Photo unique: the blue represents our soft skills of active listening, compassion, assertive calmness, and dedication. The mark (the symbol), which looks like aperture blades in a camera’s lens, represents our creativity and adaptability (the varying shades of blue), to serve our clients and share your story.
Needless to say, Dan loved it.

Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day!
I remember my mom bringing Life Magazine's photo books back from the grocery store, her asking me to help my dad whenever he broke out his camera for family pictures, and how she would always make sure that I watched the news and read the paper. I wouldn't be the person I am today without Mom.
Please spend some time today to reflect and thank mom today.
Here is a photo of my mom and me from a few years back.
Mom + me.
