Janet Worne - Thoughtful Photography

Tessa the Paper Dog

   Tessa, my retired search and rescue dog, has found new employment as a Paper Dog. Every morning she fetches the newspaper from the end of the driveway. Two papers on Sundays. Teaching her this was my Father's Day present to my husband. This was my first experimentation with a Flipvideo camera. It was easy to use and small enough to take anywhere.

Shameless Plug

Check out the "Featured Photo Tour: The Best of 2010" on the New Mexico Magazine website. The slide show includes a Zuni Dancer photo that I took as part of a story I wrote and photographed about a substance abuse prevention program for Zuni youths. The story ran in their March 2010 issue.

 

Jim Lo Scalzo: A Multimedia Mission

Photographer Jim Lo Scalzo is not the sort of guy who is satisfied with shooting portraits at podiums; he has an almost physical need to be creative. So when he stopped getting the sort of assignments that energized his right brain, he went out and made them for himself.

Check this out, I love this. It's a great example of creativity in multimedia...

Zuni Dancers

Check out my latest audio slide show, now on the New Mexico Magazine website, as well as on my own site. This coincides with my story and photos in the March issue of the magazine on the same subject.

This was a fun subject to work on. The costumes were colorful, the drums were hypnotic and the kids were a joy to work with. They seemed as excited to have me there as I was to be there and I was honored that they allowed me to photograph them dancing in front of Dowa Yalanne, the Zuni's sacred mesa.
