Gone Back To Work!

Mobile Patriotism!  (click to enlarge)

In the past on this blog, I have mentioned a time or two that I spent most of my adult life as a law enforcement officer with the culmination of my career being a chief of police in two large Virginia cities.  After failing at retiring a number of times, I finally retired a few years ago.  For the past few years, I have spent a lot of my time traveling, wandering, and photographing.  I have loved every minute of this time.

A couple of weeks ago, I received a call from a city manager of the city in which I spent 24 years and retired as chief of police in 1997.  It seems their current chief is retiring and moving out of state and he asked me if I would be interested in serving again as "interim" chief of police.  I rarely say no when someone asks for my assistance.  I agreed and returned to work yesterday (June 25) for, hopefully, no more than about 6 months.  I am not interested in the position on a permanent basis.  I'm very happily retired and want to stay that way in the long run.  I love photographing and wandering much too much!

The reason I bring this up is that I have been posting three times per week over the past three years and I may not be able to continue with that frequency until this job has been completed.  So, if I miss a time or two, you now know the reason.

I do plan to take my camera and a couple of lenses to work with me each day and photograph the men and women of the police department doing their jobs, during the day and at night.  I think I can make some very interesting, photojournalistic style images and, due to my position, will have access to areas other photographers do not.  It should be interesting.


I will try to post three times a week, but I won't promise.


Many of my images can be found at www.dennismook.com.  Please pay it a visit.  I add new images regularly. I've just added a gallery featuring all M4/3 images.  Soon, I will be adding a gallery of all Fuji X-Trans images. Thank you.

Thanks for looking.  Enjoy!
