Kirk Johnson reported on an important story coming out of Yakima, and many other places, that focuses on the resistance to legalized marijuana. Have a look at the story here and see a couple of portraits I made for it below. Thanks for looking.

Nondenominational minister Rosetta Horne stands for a portrait at her home in Yakima, Wash. on January 23, 2014. Horne has stood up against legalized marijuana in Yakima, where the city council recently passed a prohibition of growing, buying, and selling marijuana in the city limits. “I fight for what I believe in. That’s just who I am,” she says.
