East Temple

I really enjoyed working on a series with our former city reporter, Jessica Priest, about East Temple. And while the series ran in the Telegram about a week ago, I still feel like there are more stories to tell in this very forgotten part of the city. I desire to delve deeper into the narrative of this part of town through its people and history. You will definitely see more of this project here in future posts. 

Hiding from the camera...

I always get a kick out of people hiding from the camera when I'm out on assignment. While I was covering a Juneteenth Parade this morning I ran into these two kids on a street corner James (right) called me over to take his photo laughing and dancing while his friend Jakayla pulled her blanket over her face. I'm pretty sure I heard a few words being mumbled to James  as I hung out snapping frames about how he was going to get it later.
