I was lucky enough to attend the first VJ Workshop at the Brooks Institute of Photography in Ventura, California. My first time in California, it was a great way to see the cute little city.
I also had the opportunity to meet some awesome photogs, including Matt McLoone, Brett Ziegler and Maggie Starbard, whose floor I slept on, Caitlin Fitch, Janine Stengel, Shaun Kelly, Nathan Weyland and Hannah Engelson.
We had one day to shoot and another to edit a mini-story. Our group was tasked to focus on emphasizing the sounds and feelings of the place we were assigned, which, for me, was the Ventura Harbor.

On April 16, 2008, I didn’t photograph the biggest news of the day. But I spent the next few months covering the aftermath. On that day, 100 illegal immigrants were arrested during a raid at Chattanooga’s Pilgrim’s Pride chicken processing plant. Thirty-six of those arrested, mostly women with young children, were released with ankle bracelets and court dates. The local hispanic community was shocked and scared and various faith-based and nonprofit organizations organized to help those affected by the raid.

Dancer Ann Law was diagnosed with breast cancer in the summer of 2006 and underwent a double mastectomy. After opting not to have reconstructive surgery, she decided to have a passion flower tattooed over her scars. In March 2009, she debuted an hour-long performance describing her journey through breast cancer.
