Stuck in Miami overnight waiting for a plane to Haiti. Could be worse.

[J.B. Forbes @JB_Forbes]

Got the green light tonite for a trip to Haiti. I leave in the morning with a group of doctors. I hope to make good images.

Amazing images coming out of Port-au-Prince.

[J.B. Forbes @JB_Forbes]

Still trying to find a way down to Port-au-Prince. Tried the military airlift. Tried relief agencies. What next?

Photographed eagles on the river yesterday. 20 below but worth it!

The worst part of this cold weather is making sure my camera batteries are charged and warm. I'd really set off alarms in a metal detector.

[J.B. Forbes @JB_Forbes]

Stayed inside all day yesterday working on contest images. Eventually I'm going to have to get out there in the cold and make images.

[J.B. Forbes @JB_Forbes]

It's too cold to go back to work. My fingers can't work the shutter button.

[J.B. Forbes @JB_Forbes]

First New Year's resolution: get back to archiving old images. Not fun, but necessary.

[J.B. Forbes @JB_Forbes]

Dinner and a movie. Good way to start the new year. Okay, not real exciting, but still fun.

[J.B. Forbes @JB_Forbes]

Happy New Year and good shooting.

@uschles Stephan is also pulling me out of the stone age by helping me with my website and twitter. Otherwise I'm hopeless.

Tonite photographed granddaughter leaving cookies and milk next to the fireplace for Santa. Never did that with my kids....

[J.B. Forbes @JB_Forbes]

@uschles Yes I am. We really like Stephan, but then of course, so does our daughter.

This is my first tweet, but not my last.
