Beautiful Losers

I shoot frequently for a popular Weekly here in Sacramento that most of you know as Sacramento News & Review. Some of the stories are boring, but most of them cause me to perk up in wonder. The pay isn't great, but it's nice extra cash, and the real reward is the stories I get to hear and then share through my lens.

Well, not all of my favorite images go to press (the art director and designers only have so much room) so I thought I'd post my favorite rejects. They're beautiful losers in my eyes (hats off to the beat generation, I might read you one day).

Enter Styles 1001 , Sacramento hip-hop producer/solution giver. I shot him last week for this article on what's wrong with hip hop



Same trick I used on Valerie for my failed 365 Project .

Here is Patricia Portico, controversial Quaker I photographed who is helping undocumented CSUS students get a helping hand through a scholarship. This one really taught me something about an issue that I had previously gave a surface value.




I know what prints by Wednesday, so this will be a regular Thursday post for you to look forward to.
