it’s been a good, if not really busy, week here in Farmington. here’s a quick rundown before i run off to Albuquerque for my weekend:
a pretty sad event was an axe attack here in town, in what police suspect was gang-related violence. the gentleman in the photo, who looks emotionally distraught, came on scene with the information his brother was attacked with an axe — and he understandably suspected the worst. he is being taken into custody here after police reacted to his reaction (that’s ambiguous, i know, but this may be an ongoing thing). we also ran a story about children in what are essentially safe-houses through Navajo Ministries, and that was a lot of fun to do. the fourth and fifth photos were for a preview of the local farmers’ market. the photo of the guy bending over the irrigation ditch has had sudsy, polluted water this season, and his crops didn’t grow. we did a story on the situation.
thanks for looking

Fourth of July…Powwow!

here in Farmington, they have “Freedom Days,” an array of events leading up to the Fourth of July parade. these first couple of photos are from the contest Powwow at Farmington High School on Saturday the 4th — a big part of Freedom Days that started in the 80′s. actually got to see the parade as a spectator (Rebecca shot it), and later went to the roof of the newsroom to watch the fireworks all around the city. great view, but it made me miss the fireworks they shoot off at Isotopes stadium in Albuquerque after baseball games— we used to live right down the street.
here’s a few photos from the first week of July (except the horse-racing photo, which ran the first week in July).
enjoy!

here’s some from the month of June…we’re gearing up for a busy season of sports here — National High School Rodeo Finals, then Connie Mack World Series a week after that ends. i’m feeling lucky it’s not like last year, back to back.
hope you like the photos
