I took on another reproductive rights job out here in DC. I’m working with the ACLU (who is partnering with NARAL, Planned Parenthood MD, and other groups) to prevent the sale of PG County’s hospital system to a private, faith-based group. Like the work in SD, I’m making some videos for them– mostly interviews with [...]

Still Speaking Out Against SD’s Measure 11
September 24th, 2008 · No Comments
It is nice to see some of my best videos finally going up. Veronika is a medical student at USD and spoke eloquently and passionately about the importance of keeping the government out of the exam room.
The more I work in the world of reproductive rights the more I repsect people who are willing to [...]

A Video I didn’t make for PPSD…
September 17th, 2008 · No Comments
When I was in SD I had the chance to meet a woman who worked as an underground abortion counselor in the late 1960s.
Talking to her for an hour I gained so much more respect for what our mother’s generation did for women my age– the women involved in Roe v. Wade worked in similar [...]

The Least Green Weekend
September 15th, 2008 · 2 Comments
I know a few months ago I mentioned trying to have a green road trip… well, this weekend I headed down to Williamsburg, VA with some members of H*yas for Choice to attend a Planned Parenthood Student Organizing conference. The conference was amazing and inspiring (I wrote about it over on my other blog) but [...]

Young Men and Reproductive Rights
September 3rd, 2008 · No Comments
PPSD put up another one of my videos today. It was really important to me to include the voices of men in these videos– I find that all too often pro-choice is seen as women-only. I don’t think that this is true but I do recognize that the movement needs to get a little better [...]

More Delicious Video
August 14th, 2008 · No Comments
Here is some footage I shot at the Sioux Empire Fair last weekend. Working at the Voices for Choice booth, sponsored by a huge number of organizations like Planned Parenthood, Pastors for Moral Choices, etc was an amazing experience. Sure, I met a few pretty fanatical anti-choicers but in general South Dakotans were receptive to [...]

Video, Experts, and Professionalism

Here it is, the fruits of that meeting I had to ditch Mt. Rushmore for on my great trip west… I wouldn’t keep something like this from you.
This is the video I shot a week or so ago while out in Rapid City, SD. Dr. Marvin Buehner, an OBGYN who specializes in high-risk pregnancies, graciously [...]

A Fairly Good Time in SD
August 11th, 2008 · 1 Comment
Sorry about the puns, I can’t help myself. Anyway, hard to believe my time in SD is almost done! I pack up and head out first thing this coming Sat… Seems so odd how quickly the time here went by, not to mention how much I learned and produced (I know you all haven’t seen [...]

Signs of the Times

SD is full of beautiful vinage signs. I’ve started photographing them but know that I’m only just scratching the surface. Today I’m posting a few of my favorites.

Now for something completely different, or perhaps I should introduce it as a nice break from the relentless beauty of SD? Anyway, above is my second video for StandUpSD’s website. I spent some time with the Campaign for Healthy Families last week and sat down with their regional field director to find out where volunteers [...]
