Miss Amy



Miss Amy, a transgendered male to female. This will be my long story this summer, and these are pictures from the first few hours I spent with Amy at her home and at the doctor's. Amy gets her blood drawn at the Pike Place Market clinic, to test the level of hormones in her blood. Amy takes hormones to increase the levels of estrogen in her body.
Oh, and Andrei- I will take you up on a toning workshop!

Website

So. I’ve been tasked with the wonderful job of redesigning the University of Missouri Photojournalism website, with an emphasis on showcasing student work. I’m excited to do it, since there’s not good place to see all our work, and also because there’s so much good work that needs to be seen. I know some of you who read this blog are students, and I wonder if you might take a quick look at the current site:

http://web.missouri.edu/~umcjourphotowww/

and let me know what is missing from it. Periodically, I’ll toss up some of my redesigns and see if anyone has feedback.

We take pictures, we tell stories, and people should be able to see them.

Thanks!

Bean Salad



Mara asked me to photograph a bean salad for her food column in Philly. Fun, tasty, and a nice departure from things that move around when you photograph them. Oh, and plenty of thinking about Metal and Glass. Thanks Rita!
