After a week of Minnesota’s superheroes I became comfortable with the idea and situation. Patrol in Madison blew my mind in a way that was probably boring and underwhelming for the RLSH involved. Here they were able to help homeless on the streets and in the Occupy camp and talk […]

Patrol, Willmar
Stingray and I shared a relatively quiet evening in which we encountered some broken glass and a stray cat. Our interview was, I think, longer than he intended so that some who arrived home early were surprised to see Stingray in the dining room. Let’s say that cutting people’s feet […]
Portraits, Geist
This is the first portrait session I’ve done since working at Picture People…the difference is unbelievable but challenge never disappears. Instead of creating endearing photographs of crying children, I’m charged with making intimate, telling images of a real life superhero without showing his face. Thankfully Geist and I get along […]
Placing the Place
What’s the point in beautifully lit ‘sense of place’ photos when all the ‘action’ photographs take place under cover of night? Why do I go out each twilight attempting to capture the essence of the city when the rest of my schedule takes me other places? Even if we find […]
Patrol, Minneapolis
The moment before I got in a car with these men I very quickly rethought all of my life choices. There were so many steps along the way wherein someone could have, should have, said “No, Heather, this is a terrible idea.” Real Life Superheroes was/is a story I wanted […]
Galactic Pizza
Here’s a small taste of the pizza place where delivery drivers dress as superheroes. And in all sincerity, the pizza’s pretty good. I associated the people and attitude there with my days working at Medieval Times; most of your best friends are co-workers, the get-up is a little humiliating, and […]
Minneapolis
I made it through step one: get out of the house. Then I failed step two: get out of the car. 7AM: out of the car for the last bits of morning light. A decent effort but I think we both know there are better frames to be made.
Mustache-ing
For those of you who haven’t experienced enough mustache with my previous posts, here’s the 2-minute audio slideshow I did for class to accompany my article & layout. Lastly, our assignment for the Picture Story final is to create a multimedia piece after revisiting one of our previous stories. I […]
Friends of the Shelter Dogs
Audio slideshow seems to be the name of the game this quarter. I took Audio Reportage this quarter to try new equipment and really get the hang of ambient, but found myself instead fully engrossed in interviews. Our final is to create a 2-3 min audio slideshow and after chasing […]
Research Paper: The Fair Use Doctrine and Photographs
Heather Haynes JOUR 511 Nov 14, 2011 Cynics posit that humans act solely out of self-interest, working only to gain for themselves. A study of copyright rules and case law in the United States would seem to prove that theory. Current copyright and fair use rules are poorly defined and […]
