My Photograph Featured in The Guardian and on the ZUMA Press Blog

On August 10, 2025, The Guardian published an article covering a Southwest Airlines incident in which two blind passengers were left behind during boarding. Alongside the story, they used my photograph of a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 Max passenger jet landing in Palm Springs.

The image, taken on February 21, 2025, captures the aircraft on final approach under clear desert skies. It was distributed worldwide through ZUMA Press, where I have been a contributing photographer for more than two decades.

The publication was also highlighted on the ZUMA Press blog, which regularly showcases the work of its contributing photographers featured in major media outlets.
