NYC!
On the brink of deportation, for Seattle Met
It was great to work with Andre Mora on another feature for Seattle Met, this a story about Zahid Chaudhry, a U.S. soldier married to a U.S. citizen who faces deportation to his native Pakistan on Homeland Security suspicions that he has not been entirely forthcoming on important details of his past. I’ve never been disappointed with page layout and design working for this pub, and the current issue is no exception.
1st Place BOP!
I’m honored to help the Seattle Times pick up a 1st Place editing win in this year’s NPPA Best of Photojournalism contest. Thanks to Carol Nakagawa and the rest of the PNW Magazine crew for running this story and treating it well.
The spring lineup
In addition to the homeless zine below I’m prepping three others for my big trip to NYC, now postponed until the week of May 7. Huge thanks again to Andrew Saeger for his ninja design work (and congratulations on getting into Communication Arts!), and to Mary Virginia Swanson for the idea and ongoing encouragement. Awesome people.
Verve
Very cool to be added to Geoffrey Hiller’s ever-growing catalog of contemporary documentary photographers this week. It’s a pretty impressive list that I’ve referenced a lot these past few years, and it’s an honor to be on it.
Zine!
After hours, nay, days…nay…WEEKS of work my first portfolio magazine is done, and I couldn’t be happier. Huge thanks to Andrew Saeger for his incredible design work. Can’t wait to finish the other two.
Salal picker, near La Push
I’m feeling pretty good about our work on the Olympic Peninsula last week, but still trying to process the seriousness of the issues out there. I’ll be posting more once we’ve got our stories sorted out and put together.
Foreclosed tenants for MCF
The final photo essay from Miami is up on Equal Voice. It’s an odd limbo that low-income tenants are put in when their landlords are foreclosed on. In this particular unit water and electricity have been shut off with zero upkeep of the property since the owner disappeared in 2009.
Forksylvania
I’m back on the Olympic Peninsula this week, tracking down family poverty and immigration stories for the Marguerite Casey Foundation. Staying in Forks- might just have to pick up a Twilight mug.
