A day at the Wyoming Legislature

On Tuesdays and Fridays, my main assignment of the day is to cover the Wyoming Legislature. Those are the two days when I work the day shift during the week, meaning that I go over to the capitol typically before lunch. Clad in a suit and tie, I roam the hallways and galleries of both the House and Senate chambers looking for something interesting to photograph. The light is terrible in the hallways, but I managed to make a couple features from overhead positions outside of the chambers today. I’ve never covered state government before so I’m enjoying the opportunity to run around the capitol and make features.

Rep. Bob Nicholas, R-Cheyenne, speaks with Cody High School students Hannah Durhan, middle, and Maria Stoddard as House members make their way out of the chambers during a recess for lunch during the 61st Wyoming Legislature on Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2011, at the Wyoming State Capitol. Durhan and Stoddard are in Youth for Justice, a high school club that aims to bring legislative attention to a few bills each session. In this case, the students were speaking in favor of a bill to outlaw spice, a type of synthetic marijuana.
