Who doesn't love a good gator lounge?

Scenes from J-Vegas

This is the gator pond right next to my house. Kind of spooky with the late night fog.



Just need a game of pick-up.

EAW

These are images from the Eddie Adams Workshop in Jeffersonville, NY. Most of them were taken at the Apple Pond Farm in Callicoon Center. The vertical of the woman is of Kim Phuc during the memorial for the seven Vietnam war photojournalists. Kim is the same little girl in the photo of the Napalm bombing taken in 1972 by Nick Ut. And of course, there is Brandon, Jay, and Rich.

Living with the Koskos

For the ten weeks I spent interning at the Modesto Bee, I rented a room from another fellow photographer, Steve Kosko. Steve and his wife Carmelita welcomed me into their home and family (they have three other children near my age - John, Terri, and Marion) so that I became more of an adopted child/sister. Living with them was quite an experience so I've documented some of the moments of being a Kosko.

Cattle Drive in Oakdale, Calif.

To celebrate its centennial as a town, Oakdale hosted a cattle drive down one of its main streets. People lined the sidewalks to see cowboys and girls of all ages herd 40 cattle along the road.

Stanislaus County Fair (from early August)

Atacama Stories

Our CHILE site got launched! Stories from the Atacama Desert, which is in the northern part of Chile. So much fun, so many good memories, and lots of great work!

A Wild Goose Chase

This is a photo/audio project I tag-teamed with another Modesto Bee photographer, Bart Ah You. It is about geese who were relocated from Modesto to the hills, and just as the process was almost finished, they disappeared down the mountainside.... rather controversial.
