Patrick McDermott | Visual Journalist

Over the past few months, a ton of people have asked me what it is like to do the job I do.  To try to start to answer that question, I decided to pool a collection of fun photographs of fellow photographers that I took during my travels over the last year or so.  Even though these photos show the fun side of the job, it is really a ton of hard work and long hours to get the photographs that we produce day in and day out.  Enjoy!

Decided last minute to head downtown and watch the annual firework display on the National Mall or in my case from the middle of 14th Street NW.  It was pretty funny to watch everyone around me pull out their iPhone or Blackberry to photograph/record videos of the fireworks.
