Giant Omission

In my rush to get that thank you post up yesterday, I forgot to thank one of the most important people: Shane McMillan. Shane was the very first person in the JSchool to believe in me when he took a chance and hired a second semester freshman to the photography staff of the Kaimin. His help and instruction throughout my Jschool years, including as my photo editor for Native News, make thanks to him long overdue. So thanks, Shane. Couldn't have done it without you.

Hearst Piece

Last night I found out from my Prof. Keith Graham that I won 5th place in the multimedia competition of the Hearst Journalism Awards Program. Here is the link to the multimedia I produced about lung cancer on Rocky Boy's Reservation.

I feel like I need to thank all the people who helped me along the way. Thanks to Erin Cole, my tireless reporter who was with me every step; to my husband Patrick for watching the piece over and over and OVER to help me get it right; to Prof. Jeremy Lurgio and Prof. Keith Graham for their guidance, understanding and believing in me. Without them, I would not be the visual journalist I am today; and, of course, to all the people on/around Rocky Boy's Reservation for allowing me to stick a camera in their face and ask some tough questions. Thank you!

Wedding at the Davenport Hotel

Shot a 40s glamor-themed wedding last weekend in Spokane with Brandy Kiger. The beautiful couple, spectacular venue, and sunny day really helped make these photos a piece of (wedding) cake. I'll put them all up on my wedding photography website (www.alisiaduganz.com) when I am done editing, but for now here are a few favs.
