I am a staff photographer with The Monitor in McAllen, TX, on the Mexican border.
My gallery features a story about a young man who died in the brushland in Falfurrias, Texas, while avoiding a border patrol checkpoint en route illegally to Houston. A reporter and I arranged to travel to this young man's hometown for his funeral and burial to tell his story.
Thanks--
