Mayfair Uproar
Bernice Fuller, above, in front of her home at Mayfair Apartments. Fuller received notice she is being evicted for placing food outside for a stray cat she nicknamed Bojangles after his love for the chicken from the restaurant of the same name.
Below: Dr. Chandra Meachem-Tucker, left, gives Bojangles an exam at Riverside Animal Hospital. Bojangles was brought to the hospital by the Humane Society at the request of Fuller after she received an eviction notice.
Bojangles was diagnosed with Feline immunodeficiency virus (the feline equivalent of HIV), mild heart worms, fleas, cuts, bruises, and other ailments, but according to Meachem-Tucker he could live a long and happy life with treatment and caring owners.
This assignment was gravy!
I haven't announced it hear yet, largely because I've been very busy moving, but I have a new job. Today was my first official day as a staff photographer at The Rocky Mount Telegram in Rocky Mount, NC.
It was a slow day an there was a lot of orientation stuff I had to do, so I didn't get out and shoot any. I did have an assignment though, and it was gravy.
Literally, it was gravy.
For a food story I was to do a studio shot of some biscuits smothered in sausage and gravy. While I love some good ol' biscuits and gravy as much as the next guy, they aren't nearly as good to look at as they are to eat. While I failed to make this picture exciting, it was still a gravy assignment.
The bad news is my mom probably wants to frame the first picture I take on my new job. The good news is that I can only improve from here on out!
