Mayor Jamie Mayo is reflected in a mirror as he answers questions about Monroe Police Chief Quentin Holmes' retirement, effective July 30, during a press conference at City Hall in Monroe, Wednesday, July 19, 2017.
I always try to make interesting pictures when I'm shooting press conferences or meetings. They're not always good but it prevents me from getting bored.

Ryker Cole, 2, is reflected in the mirror as he sits in the hallway waiting for his mother, Hallie Perkins, to fill the tub for his bath on Monday, November 7, 2016. Ryker was born with Down syndrome but Perkins says it doesn't limit him. She won't let it. He has done speech and occupational therapy since he was a few months old. Perkins said she will continue to be his advocate as he gets older and has to navigate the school system.
This frame is an outtake from a story I shot for @thenewsstar. It was nominated for the Media Award by the Twin Cities Mayors' Committee On Disabilities in July 2017.

Bob Smith, 85, poses for a portrait with the car belonging to the Forest Police Department on Wednesday, January 11, 2017. Smith was named the 2017 Law Enforcement Officer of the Year by the Louisiana Justice Hall of Fame.
Smith is Forest's only police officer and has served as the village's police chief since 1998. He is the oldest elected official in Louisiana. "I wouldn't be doing anything if I wasn't doing this," he said. Every morning, he directs traffic as students arrive at school, then walks the hallways to greet students. He works from an office at the West Carroll Sheriff in the mornings and from the Forest City Hall in the afternoons, before he directs school dismissal traffic. If he needs backup for a shooting or wreck, the parish sheriff provides it. Smith, who is from North Carolina, wound up in Forest when he married a woman who grew up in the village. As a member of the U.S. Air Force, he traveled all over the world. Forest is the best place he's ever lived, he said, because everyone knows everyone else.

A pair of fuzzy dice, a graduation tassle from 1969 and a high school key hang from the mirror of Dolph Williams' 1964 Ford Falcon at his garage in Ruston, Wednesday, July 12, 2017. Williams, who designed the Frosty Freeze frozen drink machine, has collected cars since the 1980s. In high school, he drove a 1964 Falcon, though the car in his collection is not the exact car he drove as a teenager. He built the car with his son.
