    Anybody who’s visited the Ardent taproom has undoubtedly chatted with Mike, the friendly, knowledgable, and energetic server who’s a regular presence behind the bar. Last week, sadly, an apartment fire burned much of his unit.

    This photo was taken by a guy local to Mayfield. Its a prime example of the importance of telling stories in your own community and letting locals tell their own story. None of the national news folks coming into Kentucky got a photo like this.

    We have a verdict in the sanity trial of the man who shot and killed five people at the Capital Gazette newsroom on June 28, 2018. Jarrod Ramos is criminally responsible — meaning he faces life in prison. The jury deliberated for less than 2 hours.

    We are a better world without them, and I am glad that they no longer take pride of place in a city I love. (8/8)

    These monuments never represented historical truths―rather, they celebrated a racist ideology, installed to justify a lost cause and intimidate those who might challenge it. (7/8)

    But as a photographer, I understand the power of symbols, and I applaud the overdue recognition and removal of this overtly racist imagery. (6/8)

    To be sure, this was a symbolic gesture. Charlottesville has a long way forward before it can ever reach its stated goal of racial equity. (5/8)

    I narrowly missed a speeding car barreling down 4th Street, where dozens more who weren’t as lucky as me were injured in a hate crime, all for their pursuit of equality. (3/8)
