As a photojournalist, this space is usually filled with “snaps” taken between assignments. Over the last several weeks there has been no time for “snaps” as fire after fire has swept throughout California. Lives have been overturned and California is learning to adjust to a troubling new “normal”. Bless all of those firefighters, law enforcement and others who continue to run into the flames to save lives and property. Also, thank-you to all of my colleagues who I have worked with covering these tragic events. There are no “fake media” or “enemies of the people” here, only dedicated professionals putting their safety in jeopardy to keep the public informed under difficult fast-changing conditions.
