MR SANTINO GOES TO WASHINGTON
In a few short weeks, I will be going to Washington DC to document the Inauguration of President Donald J Trump. Photographing a Presidential Inauguration is on the short list of my photography goals, along with shooting one of the shuttle launches (if you know someone at NASA or Space X, please let me know).
Unlike most photographers, I will not be taking images of the President himself. Instead, I will be acting as a photojournalist alongside my boss and friend, Jason Lanier. We’ll be taking images of the city and the people during this historic event. There will be no bias present in my work. I’ll capture the good, the bad and the ugly; up to and including rioters. I very much pray to capture more inspirational images than poor or violent behavior. I suppose we’ll see.
Obviously, this trip will be quite costly. If you are so inclined to help, you can do so by buying a print of my work here. Pixieset offers a ton of options for printing. You can even get one of the images on canvas.
Also, you can buy one of my books. I wrote an autobiography of my time in the Walt Disney College Program called Earning My Ears. I also recently released an anthology of my short stories called Lies We Tell Ourselves. Both books are available exclusively on Amazon.
Every little bit helps.
Also, if you want to follow me on my journey, you can find me on instagram, twitter/X and facebook. Make sure to follow me on all platforms. I will be posting live updates here and there during the days surrounding the Inauguration.
Thank you to everyone who is helping me make this happen, even if it is just with words of encouragement.
