School in the Time of Quarantine
I’ve been an English teacher in the state of South Carolina for the last seventeen years. For the most part, it's been a joy and a pleasure. We’re all aware of the stigma that southern schools have and some of the difficulties we face with the wide variety of ranges between student types, races, religions, socioeconomic statuses, and the like. But as an English teacher and a coach, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing the wide variety of students that each part of the state offers. I’ve taught at giant metropolitan schools in the city. I’ve taught at rough, urban schools, where kids get to school through back alleyways to avoid gangs huddled on street corners. I’ve taught at rural schools where students come to class in the morning having woken up at dawn to feed the chickens. I’ve taught at tiny schools in the middle of nowhere that were 97% African-American. I’ve taught at tiny country schools that were 97% Caucasian. I’ve taught the gamut of students that the great state of South Carolina has to offer, and undoubtedly, I’ve enjoyed it. There have been struggles, but I love the teenagers I teach, I love the teachers and administration I work with, and despite all the horror stories you hear in the media, I enjoy being a teacher.

Capturing the Hawaii Shaka
On Friday, June 21, 2024, Hawaii's Governor, Josh Green, signed Senate Bill 3312, also known as The Shaka Bill, to adopt the Shaka as Hawaii's official state "hand gesture." It's the first-ever official gesture adopted by any state in America. Having spent over three decades as a part-time freelance news and sports photographer in Hawaii, I've captured countless moments and collected numerous images of people flashing the shaka sign. Whenever I covered a notable person visiting Hawaii, I would ask them to pose with a shaka for my collection. Requesting a shaka photo required a delicate balance of timing and rapport-building to avoid disrupting the event flow or the subject's concentration. Over the years, I loosely refined this skill and captured some memorable shaka moments and a few shaka fails.
