The Milky Way rises over South Lake, Eastern Sierra, California, in September, 2024
I am a bilingual, academically-trained historian/photojournalist (PhD. Wisconsin), author of a multi-volume scholarly history of California farmworkers. I founded my own business, Streetshots agricultural photography. Since 1979 I have worked as an agricultural photographer/journalist, defined broadly, in order to remain submerged in the industry that is the setting for my field of expertise.
