| Introduction | I am currently working in the field of television photojournalism and teaching television and video production as an adjunct at a few area colleges. I recently completed my MFA in film and video at the Visual Studies Workshop (SUNY Brockport). My thesis is a documentary, called Arroz Con Habichuelas, that looks at the cultural roots of the family that I married into and how they have managed to maintain their culture, while so many of us lose that connection to our past. I am currently looking into future public screenings for this film and planning future projects. |

The children are waiting! Please tell them the story about the bald frog with the wig:
It's too sad a story to recount here; alas, his Rogaine and wig now lost forever, the frog has since been washed down the gutter in a river of tears along the boulevard of broken dreams.
