One of the best to do it. Dave graciously took me in as a 9th grader to shadow him as a photog for the Fargo Forum. Then I had the privilege to share pages with him 4 years later as an intern. Stellar photog but an even better guy & mentor to have in your corner. Congrats, Sammy!

@sandrasantos @TexasTribune Amazing!! Congrats!

🚨 Some professional news: I joined @TexasTribune today as its new night editor. I'm very happy to be a part of this fantastic team and can't wait to share their work. Thanks to all who supported me while I was unemployed! Your kindness will never be forgotten.

Made a visit to Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo yesterday to see how its residents were coping with the heat. Juniper, a rescued brown bear, took to the waters to cool off from highs in the 90s. #OnAssignment for @seattletimes
