So if you are a community journalist for more then a few years, chances are you will photograph Locks of Love, that's the really popular event where girls who have been growing their hair out for years cut it off to give to charity to make wigs for cancer patient. Well the folks at the St. Baldrick's Foundation make the Locks of Love girls look like a bunch of ingrates with their cute bobs. This event was that ladies completely shave their heads, as a way to make a statement about cancer research (I think?). Well I thought that this event was a hoot to shoot so here are some pics from the event. Enjoy...
I am a documentary, editorial and commercial photographer based in Salt Lake City, Utah. After receiving a BFA in visual journalism from Rochester Institute ofTechnology in Rochester, NY I went on to a seven-year career in newspapers, which included staff positions with The Salt Lake Tribune and TheNews & Advance.
I specialize in documentary photojournalism, seeing stories in my own backyard and capturing intimate portraits of the human experience. I love to find beauty in the average moments of life and believe photography has the ability to show us the similarities we all share as people. My craft has draw me into people's living rooms, pulled me onto mountain tops, and humbled me at gravesides; from the Deep South to the American West.
In 2008, while working for The News & Advance, my images from “The Rites of Life” project won a Best in Show Award from the Virginia Press Association. My photographs and multimedia have been recognized by the National Press Photographers Association's Best Of Photojournalism competition, Virginia Associated Press Photos of the Year, Utah Society of Professional Journalists and many other competitions and organizations.
