Here are some of my photos from the Eddie Adams Workshop. I am hoping to edit together my audio and video for a more complete multimedia package so right now I am just going to put up the stills with no captions.

My assignment was to focus on Orchard Street, the most troubled street in town, and to photograph how people interacted inside this small community with huge problems. A man was murdered a few days previous on one of the porches of the houses on the street. The story is that one man, Dalvin Beltran, who was at one time family friends with the victim, came to try to get a cigarette from someone at the house late at night. A fight ensued, and Ismael Hernandez, 45, was stabbed to death with a 10-inch knife. He bled to death on his front porch. All over a single cigarette.
