Jay was driving and I was taking pictures. It was late at night, pouring rain, thunder and lightning every few minutes. We were about twenty minutes from our new home. It was a neat way to be welcomed to Gainesville!
I was born and raised in Seattle, WA, graduated from the University of Washington with a BA in Sociology, and studied photojournalism at Brooks Institute of Photography in California. I worked at The Seattle Times for two years as a photographer. I then lived in Gainesville, FL and worked for the University of Florida News Bureau doing photography for the 2009 school year. I am now back at The Seattle Times as a photographer.
