Every month, I attend a lunch meeting with colleagues in southeast Wyoming who are in the communications profession to share communications tactics and camaraderie.
Today, Governor Dave Freudenthal’s Press Secretary, Cara Eastwood, hosted our meeting. Cara is a former newspaper photographer and uses her well-trained eye to creatively document the Governor at work. She shared some useful tips on taking photographs that truly capture the moment.
Cara took the photograph above during a bill signing ceremony for legislation sponsored by Representative Rosie Berger (lower left) to increase the penalties for animal cruelty in Wyoming. (Some of you may remember Representative Berger; she visited Algeria in 2006 for the constituent outreach workshop.)
This photograph is a great example of using technology to bring government closer to the people. Well-done, Cara!

En algérie, on est pas encore au rythme de la protection des animaux, ou encore à l'instauration de taxes dans ce domaine...déjà, l'atteinte à l'environnement qui est d'une grande importance, n'est pas bien gérée..on a des espèces menacées d'extinction, mais on manque de beaucoup de conscience et de rigueur pour faire appliquer toutes les lois existantes...
Belle photos!
Yes, good idea!!! The photo show the simplicity and the sympathy of the legislators!!! It's a key message to attract the citizen.
It's what you wanted to say Wendey?
Definitely. I think showing that elected officials are "real people" is a great way to help citizens realize that they can be part of the process.
Friends of the Algierian Parliament;
I am so excited to be engaged in your blog of advancing technology in your work serving the people of Algeria.The photo shows a celebration of all stakeholders and the work it took to pass the legislation over 2 years. As you can imagine, people are very passionate about their animals in the United States. It took a lot of patience on my part to hear all the concerns and to not incorporate too many policy changes in one piece of legislation. Working on this legislation helped me to get more connected with my constituents. Thank you for sharing your comments. Rep. Rosie
