Team Jacob Enters The Chat
Growing up in a midwestern town in the middle of summer in 2008, I was apart of the teenage craze that was and still is the Twilight franchise. I was a really big book worm and would often times find myself wandering the public library stacks of novels. Looking for the next adventure to drown myself out from hearing the sounds of my parents fighting.

A Snowy Adventure…
Sunshine Coast… here we come! Dreams of shimmering golden sands were set to become reality before the sun dipped below the azure horizon once more. Frothy white capped waves restlessly rolled back and forth... waiting to embrace me ever so soon. Memories of delectable fried rice and bubble tea tantalised us. Nothing could stop us… we’d be there in time for lunch.

Aloha Michael Jackson
Unless you've been living under a rock—or perhaps in an abandoned missile silo—you are likely aware that Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, passed away at the age of 50 in 2009. What you might not know is that I, as a young and inexperienced photojournalist, inadvertently played a role in prematurely "reporting" his death more than a decade before his shocking passing. It was 1997, and I worked as a tabloid photographer, chasing celebrity stories in my home state of Hawaii. That day was significant—Michael Jackson was flying into Honolulu for the final leg of his HIStory tour. The airport buzzed with energy: security was tight, the weather was perfect, and fans were pressed behind fences, their excitement palpable. Adding to the spectacle, a group of Michael Jackson impersonators mingled with fans holding signs while parents tried to keep their children from wandering off. Reporters, photographers, and even hula dancers filled my section. As I checked my gear, I realized I had brought the wrong zoom lens—a rookie mistake—and that I would need to get closer to capture anything worthwhile. Then I overheard a group of young hula dancers discussing their plans to exit the media area and perform on the tarmac when the jet parked safely near the private hangar. Sensing an opportunity, I approached two teachers and spun a story about needing to document their performance for the newspaper. Whether it was my charm or pure luck, they eagerly agreed to let me join them and placed me in the front row where the group teacher had staged the experienced older dancers. Soon, we were on the tarmac, standing near the private jet with "Kingdom Entertainment" emblazoned on its fuselage. The jet's door opened to reveal a tall Middle Eastern man in a tailored suit, accompanied by a TV cameraman. Moments later, Michael Jackson emerged, greeted by thunderous cheers from the crowd. The scene was surreal: greeters adorned Jackson with Hawaiian leis, hula dancers performed a traditional welcome, and I snapped photos from every angle I could. I edged closer, but a bodyguard quickly intercepted me, motioning for me to step back. I complied but managed to grab a few wider shots from behind the dancers. A line of sleek black SUVs pulled up near the side of the plane, ready to whisk Jackson away. Anticipating his next move, I positioned myself near the vehicles. I captured a perfect head-to-toe shot of him walking, adorned with flower leis, just before he entered the black SUV for his departure to his Waikiki hotel. The whole scene felt like something out of a movie, complete with the flawless timing of every participant. One older woman in the crowd remarked that it was even grander than when she had seen Elvis land in Honolulu for his 1973 concert. I pitched the images by calling a few tabloid photo editors; one was particularly interested. He pushed for a juicy story to accompany the shots. In an offhand comment, I jokingly mentioned a wild rumor I had heard: Jackson supposedly signed autographs with "1998" because he believed he wouldn't live past 40. "Hopefully, he doesn't die here in Hawaii," I quipped. Months later, to my astonishment, I spotted my photo splashed across a tabloid under the sensational headline: "Jacko Dead at 40!" The editor had taken my casual remark and ran with it, crafting a story that implied Jackson's untimely demise was imminent. Looking back, it was a surreal and humbling experience. It showed how a seemingly innocuous comment could spiral into a headline, reminding me of the weight and responsibility of words in the world of tabloid journalism. Unintentionally, I had fueled a bizarre rumor that would linger long after Michael Jackson's visit to Hawaii.

Devoted, Determined and Deeply Loved
This is one of dozens of photos I have of this very special guy, but it's my favorite for many reasons. Obviously, the light was perfect when I turned and saw it, and it framed up nicely, but the most important part is his intense focus on what you can't see. He's not just watching the sunset.

Breaking the Depression Through the Lens
In the early 1980s, my brother graduated from high school and spent a year working for a local moving company while deciding what to do with his life. Our mother insisted that he attend a Christian college, so he looked for a school that would allow him to play baseball, and he eventually settled on Covenant College because our middle sister had discovered it and recommended it to him. Covenant is located on Lookout Mountain, Georgia, just across the state line from Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, where the famous Rock City can be found.

The Third Child
This little furry potato in the wagon with his brothers, is absolutely undoubtedly my favorite photo of all time. Everyone thought I was crazy, and I probably was at the time. I was grappling with the fact that my ex-husband and I were getting a divorce. I felt like I was loosing half my identity, knowing that I was no longer a wife. My worst fears had come true, the stigma and cycle of being a single parent hadn't been broken in this life time.
