Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
If you’re tired of my crappy, digital point-and-shoot angles, try out the magazine-like stylings of photographer Deanna Dent, whose slideshow of Joe Arpaio’s circus-come-to-Guadalupe is now up. How she avoided getting me in the shots is a mystery, as I was the ony fat man in a loud Hawaiian shirt on the premises. (Part of my strategy — paint a bigger target, natch.)Dent’s a real pro, who’s done a lot of photojournalism in Latin America, and I was grateful for her presence last night. Love the stuff of the raging rednecks and the menacing deputies disembarking. Thanks again, Deanna. And if you want to read some background on what’s in the slideshow, read yesterday’s blog post on Arpaio’s re-invasion of Guadalupe.
