I covered the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing yesterday. I cannot believe that it has been 15 years since a young intern(me) from the Daily Oklahoman hurried to the city from tennis class at UCO. The thing that sticks in my head to this day is  heading south on I-235 going about 90mph, and thinking, “There is no way this as bad as it looked on tv.” As I got closer and closer there were cars lining the shoulder with the drivers slumped over the steering wheels crying.Fifteen Years:Respect and Resolve from Mike Simons-Photojournalist on Vimeo.

I had a great time photographing Beth and Hunt’s engagement portrait. They were so comfortable in front of the camera. It almost seems like they could be in front of the camera for a living! They were great to work with and I cannot wait to shoot their wedding.
