Last Day to Vote in Chicago

I went to Chicago with five other students from the University of Texas at Austin. We spent the last few days of election season on the streets of Chicago and ended up in Grant Park for election Night.

First Day to Vote in Texas

Yesterday was the first day to vote in Texas. The polls opened at 7am with news crews galore.

Will Work for $Money$

I am back in Austin after my trip across the states and headed straight back to work. . .

Last Day in Clarksdale

I started the day back is high school and then went to a community health center. Rural health care is very interesting and deserves much more thought and time than I was able to spend on it. . . I am heading out towards Michigan soon.



These two are 17 and can not vote in the upcoming election. I had very interesting interviews with them both and they had some great insight on the campaign.

Back at Aggie High

I visited Aggie High School over two years ago with the American Diversity Project and met teacher Jennifer Stolle. The students and staff are very welcoming and I am excited to be back covering the school again.

Driving is NOT Awesome

I have been in the car for a really long time and this is the only photo I got to take yesterday. Safety comes first...always

Along the Border

I spent the day driving to Mission, Texas and then shooting the Texas Minute Men. They are on their October border watch. They gather twice a year and stakeout the border, looking for illegal activity.

On the Road and Stopping in Houston

I am going across country and working on an assignment for Kyodo News. Today I stopped in on the American Arabic Community Center in Houston, Texas. Along with dancing and eating, Dr. Hanna Francis was able to sign up 25 new voters.

It has been a while since my last post. I ensure you that I have been taking photos. I finished editing my work from China and I am ready to head back out into the world to photograph.
