Selma 50th Anniversary Bridge Crossing Jubilee &#8211; Selma, Alabama"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>To keep things simple, I typically limit my blog posts to wedding and portrait related images. \u00a0While you might see travel photography added to the mix on occasion, I rarely write a post about commercial work. \u00a0But since the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.selma50.com\/\">Selma 50th Anniversary Bridge Crossing Jubilee<\/a> was such a historic event, I thought some of the pictures and a few tidbits about them should be shared. \u00a0My part in the story began with an assignment to spend a few days following Secretary Juli\u00e1n Castro of the\u00a0U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (aka HUD) during his time in Selma to\u00a0attend\u00a0the Jubilee. \u00a0Now before I go any further, let me issue a quick\u00a0disclaimer: any comments I make here are not intended to endorse or denounce the politics of any of the people I photographed. \u00a0When I&#8217;m working, my objective is\u00a0to take the best pictures I can of what happens to and around the people I&#8217;m\u00a0assigned to. \u00a0That&#8217;s all. \u00a0I don&#8217;t ask brides how they feel about\u00a0Social Security or Obamacare before I shoot their weddings. \u00a0So take my commentary\u00a0here as simple observation and nothing more. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Since I\u00a0had driven to Selma\u00a0several times in the past, I knew what the routes were like and that traffic could potentially be gnarly\u00a0with the crowds that were expected. \u00a0So I arrived extra early\u00a0and took a little time to walk around. \u00a0It was long before most visitors would arrive, but there was already\u00a0a &#8220;buzz&#8221; in the air that something big was coming. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.selma-al.gov\/\">Selma<\/a> is small, and even though the jubilee happens every year, the events scheduled for the 50th anniversary were on another level. \u00a0News crews were EVERYWHERE. \u00a0Bleachers were being trucked in, and a steady stream of cars came across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. \u00a0Our first scheduled photo op and meeting place was at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/semo\/planyourvisit\/things2do.htm\">Selma Interpretive Center<\/a>, where Secretary Castro arrived with Congresswoman Terri Sewell and Mayor George Evans.<\/p>\n<p><img

initiative. \u00a0He shook each of their hands and asked them what profession they&#8217;d each like to have as adults. \u00a0They were a bit shy at first, but Secretary Castro told them a funny anecdote about himself and his twin brother, and was able to discuss their goals and challenges with them. \u00a0When he wrapped up the conversation, I noticed he referred back to their individual introductions, and had made a point to remember\u00a0what they had each told him they wanted to be when they grew up. \u00a0It was a nice thing to witness.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"

traditional Southern breakfast. \u00a0Some very recognizable faces were in attendance, including Martin Luther King III, Reverend Jesse Jackson, and Reverend Al Sharpton, who spoke immediately before Secretary Castro. \u00a0Reverend Sharpton is small and slight in person, but has a very big presence on a microphone. \u00a0He knows exactly how to draw people in, and I admit, I was curious how Secretary Castro would do since he was up next. \u00a0It was a tough act to follow, but he was no slouch.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full
