Photojournalism portfolio

         My portfolio, of a journalistic nature, titled as such simply because I did not plan these photos. They were on the fly, and they speak for themselves. The moments were there, they just needed capturing. Whether it was 9 pm on Thanksgiving evening, in which I pulled over on the 101 and ran to take a picture of the McDonald's in Pismo Beach, the homeless man on Black Friday, The Stop "War" sign in Grover Beach, or the boy eating an apple in the SLO Creek Farms, the moments begged to be photographed.

  1. Speaking of best pics, I find that my wife (and kids) sometime have different 'best' photos to me. With this being such a personal display, I agree its not about the best photos but more so the most emotive ones.
