Photographer

Bio: I've loved taking pictures since I was a little kid. Turning it into a career, where I can document the people and events of our time, is even more fun. A Colorado native, I have a bachelor’s in journalism from CU, and did internships at both the Camera and the Greeley Tribune. After that, I worked briefly at the Standard–Examinter in Ogden, Utah, before taking a job at the Camera. My favorite thing to photograph is an in-depth news story, such as Louisville’s struggle with urban renewal; my least favorite is the weather.

Started at the Daily Camera: 1996

Forest Lehmanwas arrested in Denver on Monday on suspicion of providing “false information” while protesting at the Denver National Convention. Lehman says police didn’t believe his identification was real, even though he gave them his valid Hawaii driver’s license.

Angie Gaffney, center, a senior at Boulder High School, interviews Joan Fitz-Gerald outside the University Club in Denver on Monday afternoon. The 17-year-old spent the day reporting at the Democratic National Convention for KGNU with the help of videographers Alan O'Hashi, second from right, and Tony Perri, right.


Sixth-graders Kelsey Gallotte, left, and Ryan Flores eat lunch together Friday, which was a transition day for sixth-graders at Southern Hills Middle School. Boulder Valley officials are trying to erase the socio-economic lines created when children who get free and reduced-price meals buy hot lunches and affluent children opt to buy a-la-carte items — such as animal crackers, chips and juices. The district is blending the hot lunch and a-la-carte lines and eliminating some of the single-sold items.


Sixth-graders Jack Borum, left, and Brian Lugbill, center, wait in the hot-lunch line while Emilia Long, right, squeezes by at Southern Hills Middle School on Friday, a transition day for sixth-graders. Most elementary students get hot lunch, but some of the more affluent children can afford to buy a la carte items — making the low-income children stand out. The district is working to eliminate a la carte items and blend lunch lines districtwide so children receiving free and reduce meal prices won’t stand out from students paying full price.
