DOGS AND THEIR PEOPLE
During the Spring of 2004, I produced a series of portraits called Dogs and Their People in Byron Bay, Australia, as part of my photojournalism studies. The photographs were captured using a Hasselblad 500cm medium format camera with an 80mm f/2.8 lens on 400 ISO Kodak T-Max black and white film against a portable white projector background. I captured more than thirty participants. The final installation included nine 12" X 12" hand processed photographs, featured for two weeks in the main performance auditorium at the Queensland College of Art in Brisbane, Australia.

PORTRAIT OF A NATION
In 2006, I was invited to capture portraits of more than one hundred Luiseño native Americans under the sacred Great Oak (Wi’áaşal) on the Pechanga reservation in Temecula, California. The work spanned seven generations of Luiseño families from various tribes including Pechanga, San Luis Rey, Pala, and Soboba. To the Luiseño people, the land and the Great Oak that stands upon it carry meaning that transcends physical presence. The Great Oak has come to embody the identity and character of the Luiseño people: Strength, Wisdom, Longevity and Determination. I produced an installation of 20 handprinted and framed photographs that hung on display during a two-month exhibit at the San Luis Rey Mission in Oceanside, California, in the Spring of 2006. I captured the images using a Hasselblad 500cm medium format camera with a 80mm f/2.8 lens on 400 ISO Kodak T-Max black and white film.
