A week & a day
in the life of a photojournalist -
long days, fast edits, and so many faces.

what a privilege it is -
to chase the beat of this town,
and write history as it happens.

Covered the No Kings protest in Cape Girardeau last week — one of many across the country standing against authoritarianism and in defense of democracy.

From hand-painted signs to chants in the streets, the message was clear:

Democracy only works if we keep showing up for it.
