Oh fffu - things make more sense now

"Noise" showed me his guitar, "Note" that he plays at the local QFC. It's not a photo we used for the story, but it's one of my favorites from yesterday because if there's anything we need more of right now it's seeing each other's shared humanity. Regardless of their circumstances.

Feels appropriate to draft my story about The Wall That Heals (Vietnam War) on a 1950's era typewriter.

And now my photo of Joel Kawahara is part of congressional record. It was an honor to meet him and create this photo that has become so iconic for our community. @emilyrandallwa.bsky.social

Emily Randall met with local farmers and folks in Agriculture today at Finn River Cidery. I’ll have a few thoughts in the next jeffcobeacon.com @finnriverfarm.bsky.social @emilyrandallwa.bsky.social

Heading out to capture more photos on Food Insecurity for the jeffcobeacon.com I’ve been working on this story for the past few weeks. Feels great to stretch those #photojournalism muscles again

Port Townsend, Washington - August 16, 2025: protesters gather and wave signs during a "No Kings" protest along E Sims Way. Hundreds of cars honked and waved as they drove down the road while a few diesel trucks tried to "roll coal" (emit large amounts of grey or black exhaust) as they passed.
