A Poem for George Whitman
A haiku for the man who gave me my favorite bookstore.
Travelers’ scrawled notes, books’
old smells. Stacks nooks shelves. Paris:
Can I sleep here, please?
Get up and make it happen, LW

Photography Gallery: Five years after deadly E. coli outbreak, Salinas Valley farmers struggle to rebound
I traveled to Salinas Valley, Calif. to capture some of the efforts valley growers and companies have put in place since the 2006 E. Coli outbreak. In addition to fields of lettuce, I photographed an Earthbound Farm spinach processing facility and a warehouse operated by New Leaf Food Safety Solutions, which produces a leafy green wash called T-128 that stops the spread of contamination from one leaf to another. This, for a project with my colleague Senior Writer Deborah Schoch.

Mary Sanchez, 73, is her husband’s primary caregiver. Her husband, Armando Sanchez, suffered a stroke 11 years ago and was diagnosed with dementia two years after that. She tries to keep him healthy.
“Mind is very strong,” she said. “If you tell yourself you can walk, you walk. And little by little he’s walking with a cane and I’m behind him with a strap because I don’t want him to fall. He’s very heavy.”
