My Legs on the Associated Press Wire

One on the instances that this posting isn't a photo taken by, but of me. Well, my lower half to be exact (see circle). The photo is running today on the AP wire to illustrate a major death penalty report just released. Sorry you had to see the legs. Pay more attention to my friend Rachel Lawler, who is in the foreground...

For the full article and photo, check it out on Yahoo! News.

New Mexico Abolishes the Death Penalty


Today, New Mexico made history and abolished its death penalty statute, making it the 35th state without capital punishment. It just so happens that I have a photo exhibit up throughout New Mexico for the next two weeks in conjunction with the one-man play about Juan Melendez, who was exonerated from Florida's death row after it was proven he was innocent. Pictured here is Juan, from an October 2002 event in Chicago. I will be photographing Juan once again next weekend at the Amnesty International conference in Boston, where I will also have a photo exhibit up. Look for photos from that in early April.

Philadelphia Exhibit



A photo of people looking at photos of themselves... reminds me of last fall when I had a photo exhibit up in North Dakota and a radio DJ organized a protest against my photos of people protesting. You just gotta love the circular reasoning! This shot is from the final day of my three-week long show at the F.U.E.L. Collection in Philadelphia. Pictured are Martina Correia (whose brother Troy Davis is on death row in Georgia) and Shujaa Graham (exonerated from California's death row) looking at my death penalty photo documentary project - which they are both featured in.
