In an amazing moment last night, I was introduced to civil rights icon Dolores Huerta in front of my photo of her at Dodger Stadium where she threw out the first pitch on Mexican Heritage night. Incredibly, this force for good is 96 years old and still going strong and she loved the image! The photo is part of my exhibition “Echoes of the Ancestors” currently on display at the Mexican Consulate here in LA where a screening of the gorgeous Los Lobos documentary Official Los Lobos Documentary Film was held last night. Another icon, Edward James Olmos and artist Robert Vargas were also in attendance. Miss Huerta chatted with me about the old days of the Dodgers and her love of Jackie Robinson. It was a night I’ll never forget. Thanks again to CCCM LA for having me and to Cónsul General Gutiérrez for the introduction.

I’ve had the opportunity to witness three eclipses in my life. 2017 in Oregon, 2023 in New Mexico and 2024 in New Hampshire. Each totality was an extremely moving experience that gave me a sense of how we’re all connected. Congratulations to everyone witnessing it in person across the globe today.

In May I flew to Dallas to photograph “a day in the life” of students from Texans Can Academies for a new ad campaign. I created formal black and white portraits as well as documentary shots across Dallas. Thanks to GoodBrand Impact for having me on the team and for Every Car Can Charity for entrusting me with imagery for their first big campaign.

One of the juvenile Red-tailed hawks landed a few feet from me yesterday morning! Listen to the vocalization. He tore through a ground squirrel, but I’ll spare you the gory details. This is one of the closest looks I’ve ever had of a raptor in the wild.

Sound up! When you live in the hills, coyotes are a part of the bargain, but just before 5am this morning this huge pack, combined with some great horned owls, woke me out of a dead sleep. Listen to this crazy symphony of the wild!

I made a little Gen X dream come true for myself yesterday. However, I did refuse the pork chops & apple sauce while making sure I got the exact camera angles from the show. Thanks to for the info. What a completely surreal experience!

When high school students turned out in droves to the anti ICE demonstrations last weekend, it was as if the battle had been joined. ICE is succeeding at melting apathy. The outrage is palpable. I photographed these students atop a public art installation across the street from LA City Hall reclaiming the Stars and Stripes. “Reclaiming” is now a 14”x20” hand signed and editioned archival print by Eric Smith

When I was photographing the protests in LA last week, this expectant couple stopped me in my tracks. Their simple sign was so powerful and so moving that I had to ask them to make a portrait.
