The Strauss-Kahn Chronicles

It's been way too long since I've posted. The DSK story took over New York back in May and I've been covering it almost every step of the way, along with the entire New York Press corps and half of France's.

The public usually only sees the finished story and photographs but not much of the hours that go into putting everything together so I've also inclded some shots here of the long stakeouts in the rain, hot sun, car chases, and the long days and nights that we spend camped out on the streets and sidewalks.

This was my first high-speed chase and it was a little scary. The French press hired motorbikes during their time in New York, which I know is a popular way to get around in France but not so much here. There were 3 cars and half a dozen bikes chasing DSK this day.
