Eventbrite – Connections Made Simple
Yesterday I wrote about Chad Barth, Chad’s Concert for Epilepsy and the Eventbrite’s 2010 MyEventRocked award. (Chad’s concert won; I was the photographer.) The concert connected many people to the epilepsy community and the award helped more than the people at Eventbrite realize.

Take Back High Street Coalition
Since today is the national holiday honoring Dr. Marin Luther King, Jr., I searched for photos honoring the civil rights leader. I did not need to search far into my archive. Last January, Oakland, California’s High Street Coalition organized the Dr. Martin Luther King, jr. “Take Back High Street March.” [photoshelter-gallery g_id=’G0000.cgA.9bExsA’ g_name=’MLK-Take-Back-High-Street’ f_show_caption=’t’ f_show_slidenum=’t’ img_title=’iptct’ […]
Pike-Family-Anniversary
I wrote about my first visit with the Pike family on August 31, 2010. We met two weeks earlier during the second year I photographed the Mothers of an Angel Friendship Network families. Today, the Pike family gathered to remember Krista Rae Pike. Four years ago, she was murdered at 18. Since I last photographed the family, Alexandria, Krista’s sister, […]

Epiphany for The Beatitudes Society
In some cultures, January 6 is Epiphany. As with personal epiphanies, the holiday is a little more complicated. The holiday can last several days or it can start on different dates. Epiphanies rarely start when expected, even when placed on the calendar. Last Fall, I photographed Rev. Anne Howard and The Beatitudes Society’s leadership team while they […]
