Hundreds of loud Seahawks fans showed up for a public rally at Seattle Center Wednesday, braving sporadic rain to dance to some live music and see appearances by members of the Sea Gals, mayor Ed Murray, a few former Seahawks players, and plenty more. There were also a limited amount of the coveted “Seattle Mix” Skittles being handed out. Fans also were able to sign a giant 12th Man flag that will be sent to the Super Bowl and presented to the team before the game.

Recent work for The Wall Street Journal: bikini barista coffee

My work, photojournalism, Still photography

Wall Street Journal reporter Joel Millman informed the rest of the world about our plethora of “bikini barista” coffee shacks here in the Pacific Northwest and wrote a nice story in the process. Read the story here on the Journal’s website (login required, but hint: Google “WSJ bikini barista” and you can read the story) or just watch the short video below with Joel talking a little bit about the story. Some of my pictures are also below. Thanks for looking.

My work, photojournalism, Published work, Still photography

Kirk Johnson reported on an important story coming out of Yakima, and many other places, that focuses on the resistance to legalized marijuana. Have a look at the story here and see a couple of portraits I made for it below. Thanks for looking.

Nondenominational minister Rosetta Horne stands for a portrait at her home in Yakima, Wash. on January 23, 2014. Horne has stood up against legalized marijuana in Yakima, where the city council recently passed a prohibition of growing, buying, and selling marijuana in the city limits. “I fight for what I believe in. That’s just who I am,” she says.
