About Don
From the crowded streets of California to the continent-spanning routes of human migration, Don uses the camera to preserve story-telling moments that often pass in the blink of an eye. All of us who appreciate the medium know that there is no better evidence of a fleeting moment than the still photograph. Some can make us smile; some make us weep. Over his 52-year career on the road as a newspaper photojournalist, he occasionally found himself focusing on things that made him wonder, “How can such things be?”.
