When I began telling stories, I was always in awe of people who told visual stories. How did they do it? Then I realized a good way to learn how to do something is to do it. So I tried it. Here’s what happened.

“Get that Bunny”

See a falconer and their birds of prey in action, in a rousing, slightly bloody affair.

Simone Lupson-Cook, a general falconer, takes their red-tailed hawk (named Chase) and European goshawk (named Cricket) out on a little rabbit hunt.

“Getting Spun: Meth in Idaho”

As part of a multimedia project “Gravity of Abuse,” which looked at an abusive relationship between a two unhoused parents, I went to Idaho to learn about their relationship. Meth use was a part of it. People from Idaho let me know how meth use touched their lives.

Meth addiction has torn apart countless lives. Three women who grew up in Idaho talk about what meth did to them.

‘The World’s Strongest Great-Grandmother?”

One day, I walked past a local gym. Inside, I saw Winifred Pristell. She told me she was going to participate in a weightlifting competition. Here’s what she did.

It’s short but sweet: Winifred Pristell, a 74-year-old grandmother, can deadlift 262 pounds. Can you?

“The Illustrated Man”

For part of the multimedia series “Gravity of Abuse,” I met Richard Duncan. He had been convicted of assaulting his partner. He had a history of white supremacy. When I went to see him in prison, he described how his tattoos were tied to his past beliefs.

What can tattoos reveal? They can tell someone's life story and beliefs. Richard Duncan talks about his tattoos and describes how they're connected to white supremacy.
