The Fort Worth City Council listened to several Fort Worth citizens, both gay and straight, describe their outrage and shock at the actions of the Fort Worth police and officers from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission on the evening of June 28 during the raid at the Rainbow Lounge in Fort Worth, Texas.

Fort Worth mayor, Mike Moncrief, apologized at the close of the meeting, saying, “I am sorry for what happened in Fort Worth.” The crowd inside the council chamber responded with applause.

The police department has appointed officer Sara Straten, a 17-year veteran, as liaison to the city’s LGBT community.

According to People magazine, Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson are no more.

I shot this photo and several others of Tony and Jessica celebrating Romo’s 28th birthday at Suite in Dallas on April 19, 2008. Those copyrighted images have performed well for me and my photo agency, ZumaPress during the past 14 months.

It was a difficult shoot due to the crowd and the cramped space.

The images were exclusive and include one of the few photographs of Tony and Jessica kissing. Great stock images, particularly of celebrities, often provide a steady source of recurring revenue. And of all the revenues out there, recurring revenue is my favorite.

Shoot once, sell forever.

I’ve long been an admirer of Clay Enos‘ “street studio” sessions. Nothing the least bit pretentious about his subjects–real people who pause just long enough for him to make a photo, then return to their lives.

Wired magazine has just discovered him and produced this video from one of his shoots.
