Covering "Flags In" at Arlington National Cemetery (Memorial Week 2014)
In May 2014, I was assigned by Fox News Channel to document the annual "Flags In" tradition at Arlington National Cemetery, where soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) place American flags at more than 220,000 headstones. Years ago, I edited this feature package from this event.,

This video is for the brave men that served on the Swift Boats on the rivers of Vietnam. I discovered this memorial at the Navy yard Washington DC. Found a sailor, Frank Bowman from South Carolina (my home state) on the memorial list of dead and missing. HIs history in Vietnam is at the conclusion of this video.

The Berlin Wall fell on November 9, 1989. Kerry O'berry filmed the elderly East Germans exiting the wall to West Berlin: The second Clip is on the Spree River following the Berlin Wall. Kerry and I worked together on many trips to the USSR, Germany Lithuania to name a few locations. We both know how fortunate we really were to be there!

May Day, May Day… May 1, 2026

I visited the Mall to observe the events taking place. The weather was pleasant, and as I approached the White House, I noticed the customary May Day Protest. Further along the Mall, I was surprised to discover the refurbished carousel. However, it was not until later that I learned about the graffiti, “8647,” on the reflecting pool floor. To fully appreciate the situation, I decided to create a humorous video. I selected the carousel music, “Yankee Doodle Dandy,” to evoke a surreal atmosphere.

I would like to express my gratitude to Chris Plante of WMAL for providing the soundbite recorded on May 1, 2026, which can be found on his three-hour podcast.

On April 23, the President announced major upgrades for the Reflecting Pool. Living just 20 minutes away, I decided to head down and document the progress myself. Using a mix of my Insta360 and iPhone, I captured the status of the repairs along with the usual high-energy atmosphere of D.C. Stick around for the end—I caught a performance by a group from POLAND, THE MAZOWSZE . (They are performing at the Kennedy center) where the rhythmic cadence sounds suspiciously like she is chanting "Trump, Trump, Trump!" Funny!

John Riggins:
Doc Walker's ProView was a weekly television series,(2004-2006?) featuring in-depth interviews with mostly legendary professional athletes. With a catalog of over 50 productions, the show highlights the careers and stories of sports icons.

This specific installment, produced in 2004 (?), features an exclusive interview with NFL Hall of Famer John Riggins. The series is produced and edited by Steve McMillian. I was the DP.

Host: Rick "Doc" Walker is a 1982 Super Bowl champion (Redskins) and former "Hogs" offensive lineman who has been a prominent media figure in the D.C. area for years.. Working with Doc Walker and Steve McMillan was an extreme pleasure and privilege.

I’m just recording history….

The President departs from the White House on Marine One. This was a typical departure..The President maintained his standard protocol of heading straight to the aircraft without informal remarks.

March 2016 featuring some of the best White House News Photographers: ED, Brian, Pete, Peter, Pat, Rick, Kevin, Brian, Victor, Mark, Darren, Dan, Tim, Craig, Edgar, John and ( Greg Gursky, Bobby Williams And Mark Knollar, CBS correspondent. RIP)

I’d just gotten my hands on a brand-new stabilized video camera, and for the first time, I could walk through a crowd without the footage bouncing like a trampoline. Back then, that kind of steady movement was a revelation. You really have to be a photographer to appreciate the Osmo. It’s a far cry from the 35lb+ rigs, as seen in this video, we used to haul; that kind of weight was painful and is the reason so many of us ended up with bad backs. I was one of many that had back surgery!

April 1, 2026 | World War II Memorial
I was out capturing the scene today when a truly moving moment unfolded right beside me. A gentleman nearby stood up specifically to shake hands with some brave National Guard members—I believe they were from Mississippi. It was a beautiful, unscripted bridge between generations and a perfect reminder of why this memorial exists. Just one of those quiet, powerful gestures of respect that tells the whole story.

ABC News’ Terry Moran recently voiced a hard truth that many in the industry have long understood. Having served as a professional TV news and feature photographer from 1980 to 2020, I have personally witnessed the intentional dissemination of inaccurate information.
The process is systemic: every story a correspondent produces must be cleared by an editor. Frequently, these editors prioritize network narratives and institutional bias over the objective facts of a case.

My first encountered this during the Philippine presidential elections involving Ferdinand Marcos. I was embedded with the Corazon Aquino motorcade all day and can confirm that no attack from Marcos supporters occurred. However, the network editor completely rewrote the reporter’s script to claim an attack had taken place. Despite the reporter’s disbelief, the power lies with the editors, not the eyewitnesses. The end goal is often the manipulation of public opinion and voter behavior through calculated psychological framing

It can’t be denied now - but this is not accidental. It’s intentional bias to carry the narrative! thank you, Terry!!!!
