One of the things I love about freelance photo editing is the variety of projects that come my way.

This year I've worked on live TV shows, website builds, tourism content, big events, and most recently, photo research for a book about Old West gunfighters by Bryan Burrough (Random House).

The research took me through archives I hadn't worked with before - the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Oklahoma Historical Society, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and others.

It's always interesting to dig through historical photographs and piece together the visual story. Here are a few of my favorite images from the project.
