Vocational Education for the NYT

Spent a couple days in Greensboro for the New York Times photographing what has become a bit of a battlefield in the college or not wars.

Many high schools have cut back on their vocational training classes over the last few years as the push to get all [...]

Wilmington for the New York Times

Ancient Apples for the New York Times

Lee Calhoun has spent over 30 years collecting old southern apple varieties and planting them in his orchard in hopes of sustaining the breeds. Around the Japanese style house he built 40 years ago with his wife and son, he has planted and sustained many types of apples long forgotten, [...]
