Krista is a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist (2002 New York Times – Breaking News) currently based in Tucson, Arizona. Her projects usually focus on youth-related issues. A graduate of San Francisco State University, she is currently launching a whimsical photo greeting card line full of sarcastic humor under the label ‘nJoy Studios’. In August of 2007, Krista became the Photography Director of Voices, Inc., a Tucson, Arizona based non-profit (http://www.voicesinc.org). The mission of the organization, founded in 1999, is to mentor Tucson youth as they tell the stories of their lives through words and pictures. When she’s not on assignment, you might catch her screaming by you on her mountain bike or join her on a never-ending search for the best chicken fried steak.

    Hi Krista!
    Great first blog! I love the title … somehow it speaks to me .. having been known to be a little long-winded at times. Glad you liked Taos. Next time try the surrounding pueblos. Also drop in at Santa Fe. My son and I had a great time there. Nervous is a good thing. Well, got to get ready for the Sunday morning ride. Wish you could join us. Heading off to Glacier National Park in FOUR DAYS!!! Can’t wait. Will send along some photos if we survive the bears. Maybe I should blog ….

    Hey Krista,

    I had dinner with Uncle Robert last night, and he mentioned that you moved to Tucson and that you blog. So I looked you up last night, and really enjoyed reading your blogs. I especially liked the one about Disney. I have yet to find my prince, but I am still holding on to the fairy tale that he will come someday. I am usually content with my single status, but Lacey is engaged. I am truly happy for her, but I am tired of people pointing out that I am six years older than her and still single. On top of that, Joe just married a great gal from Tulsa in September. It was a beautiful wedding in Hawaii.

    It sounds like you are enjoying life and still doing things you love to do. I would love to hear from you.

    hey krista. i haven’t seen you since we graduated high school. i was looking up a few names from the “old days”. when i looked you up, your name was all over the place, but i didn’t know if it was you. i finally found a picture of you connected to an article about you. i am totally impressed. congrats on your success. i am very happy for you.
    i still live in the same area. i live in concord with my wife and five kids. i have had my own farrier (horseshoeing) business for the past thirteen years. things are going very well.
    congratulations again and best wishes, Jesse .

    Hi Krista,
    My name is Michelle and I loveee your photography and personality that shines through your work. I am a student at Ithaca College and am writing a paper on photojournalism, and I would be honored to talk to you and ask you some questions. I was extremely moved by your images from September 11th and the excerpt in Kenneth Kobre’s book, “Photojournalism, The Professionals’ Approach.” If you think it could be possible to talk, please let me know when is best for you. Thanks, and hope to hear from you soon. =)
