Shooting at funerals is always a touchy thing. It would be interesting to read about the situation you were in, and how you got your shots. It would be valuable information for photo students who haven't yet faced that situation on assignment.
I just got a pretty awesome photo and article assignment! Senator Obama is going to be in Jackson, Miss., March 6, and so shall I! The Mississippi Democratic Party is having some sort of dinner during which Obama will be speaking. This is a pretty big deal for me, and hopefully I'll get a good picture to add to my portfolio.
So, if you've got experience and would like to share some advice, feel free. I'm very very open to advice.
