A serendipitous end at the Santa Cruz Sentinel
My time at the Santa Cruz Sentinel has come to an end, last Wednesday was my last. I worked Mondays, and it was kinda weird waking up and not having to drive for an hour over over the hill today. Everything has to come to an end sometime. For my last day there wasn’t much...

What a crazy day I’m having
Sometimes you just have to sit back and say… wow… just wow. I came in today to the internship and shot six assignments and produced a multimedia piece, so all in all, not bad. But just looking it over, in the end it was one crazy day. A crazy racist lady wanted to know where...

my first (second… well third) front page…
… but the first that I’ve seen in the newsstand. I passed by this kiosk on Pacific Avenue just after sunset as the rain was pouring and I was on my way back to the office dreched by the sudden downpour in nothing but a thin turtle neck sweater (don’t tell my mom, she worries)....

The elephant seals of Ano Nuevo
A few weeks ago I was afforded the opportunity to travel up the coast and do a story on elephant seals. I finally got around to working with Ryan and creating some more multimedia content for the web. Just like old times.

I finally went to the beach
After nearly six weeks at the internship in lovely Santa Cruz, I finally made it to the beach, which if you know me is flabbergasting. I’m the guy my friends know as the one who takes off for the beach when he’s bored or wants to clear his head or needs a destination to drive...
