Car Crash


A well known local citizen blew a stop sign and crashed his mother's car into a Mason County Sheriff's truck. I heard this on the scanner and I rushed down on my bicycle to take some photos. I sold one image to a local newspaper. That image is not posted here.


His shirt says "why would you ever want to stop"  I think he got his answer.

Last minute assignment Ronald Reagan's son came to town

I was given an assignment to photograph the Reagan Legacy Dinner.  I was given this assignment just a few hours before the start of the dinner.  Since I'm freelancing for a weekly paper I normally get my assignments days in advance.  I was told that I should dress conservatively for this job.  I really wish I had gotten closer to my subject.  I was too nervous and the room was very dark.
