For my first assignment with High Country News, I spent a few days last year with people in western Washington state as they adopted, trained, and showed their wild mustangs as part of the Mustang Yearlings Washington Youth Mustang Madness competition. Writer Elizabeth Whitman pitched the piece and editor Bear Guerra got in touch wondering if I’d be interested in photographing the feature.
The story appeared in the April 2025 issue of High Country News (and online) and my pictures were on four pages of the story and the opener opposite the Table of Contents. It was great to finally work with a magazine I’ve admired for so long, and to do so on such a fascinating story.
