A Year in Photos.
A project carried on by many publications, a year in photos took a look back at what were key moments in this past year that defined the experiences of Columbia, Mo’s community members. 2021 was a year of renewal, reunions and ramifications. Working with Tristen Rouse and Michelle & Nicole Gutierrez, we wanted to take those themes into our visual version of what happened in 2021. We were able to look at over 1,000 photos and narrow down to a 49 picture edit. A condensed version of the edit was then published as a special print section that you see above.

Eight-Man Football.
Two small towns in Missouri must come together to not only save football, but the spirit of their towns. After two months of coverage, I had the opportunity to manage and edit the micro-documentary that accompanied the piece. Photo editing by Michelle and Nicole Gutierrez. Photography and Videography by Ciara McCaskill, Kalyn Laire, Zachary Linhares, Bradford Siwak and Hunter Pendleton. Video Editing by me.
Owls offer link to peer connection.
K-12 education editor Elizabeth Brixey contact me to contract a photographer for a photo assignment that required care and empathy. During the time of the assignment most photographers and photo editors were either gone for winter break or had COVID, so I tasked myself with both photographing and photo editing this piece. After following Henry and his love for owls, I was able to come forward with photos that showed not only his connection to his peers, but his personality as well.
