I knew what you meant. 🙂

We are confident many of the injuries, if not all, that were originally attributed to a knife, were from animal activity.

Forensic photographers see everything and have one of the most important jobs at a crime scene. I can’t recommend The Darkroom enough!

#WorldPhotographyDay reminder: not all photographs hang in galleries. Some end up in evidence files. #Photography in service of justice for the voiceless victims of crime.

The Darkroom is #1 on Amazon today. I couldn't be prouder!

Seventeen days in the sweltering heat and filth. The conditions unbearable. The task, worse. She mattered. Even there, buried in filth, lost to male violence, she mattered. You don’t forget a case like that.
