The last few weeks have seen me doing quite a few environmental portraits, and I can’t help but get excited when a shoot comes together. There was one photo in particular that stood out recently, and it’s this first shot of Nicole Kennelly for a story called “Behind the Mask” by Peter Holslin in San Diego Citybeat.
Nicole Kennelly, director of UNOCH, poses in her office. UNOCH has filed a lawsuit challenging the requirement that all staff at Rady Children's Hospital that have not gotten an H1N1 vaccination don face masks and an identifying badge.
For another Citybeat story I had the interesting opportunity to meet and photograph an “intactivist” for Dave Maass‘ story “Circumspection” about the history of the circumcision debate.
Matthew Hess holds an unused foreskin restoration device. Hess has submitted bills to state and national assemblies proposing a revision to genital mutilation bills to make them gender neutral.
Finally, Voiceofsandiego.org had me skipping around town while their staff photographer/dynamo Sam Hodgson was on vacation. I’ll look forward to filling in for him again during his next scheduled leave, when his internal power reactor receives a firmware update in the year 2086.
