The Surprises We Find In Pursuit of Truth
A photo that couldn’t find a home in the larger commissioned work was used in the Winter 2021 Letter from the Editor. I really love this photo and I’ve gotten several emails about it.
Red Carpet Alert: See what everyone was wearing at the Latin Grammy Awards
Red carpet is fun, red carpet is chaos, red carpet lasts all day. I’m glad I brought too many batteries for my camera and flash. I will bring more snacks next time. Here are just a few of the images, there are a lot more on NPR’s website.

I grew up around lowriders, my grandfather was an airbrusher. But this assignment introduced me to a part of lowrider culture I hadn’t experienced before. One of the reasons I love this job.
Bicycling Magazine had me take a quick trip up to Kayenta to promote OxDx’s Together We Rise Women’s Tank top. Gale force winds and pouring rain nearly drowned us in the mud, but we got it done.
I’ve been going to Kayenta for years now, including once for the Times, which I think led to a number of successful images which I popped up on my instagram.
Virtual Learning Was Better for Some Kids
