I picked this photograph because of the position of the workers. I like the foreground, middle ground, and background in this picture.
I decided to photograph the field workers in Watsonville, Ca because these type of workers really earn their money. The problem is that many of them do not qualify medical or unemployment benefits after the season is over. My friend and I got to the field and approached the man in charge, Jesus. After getting his permission to be on the land and talking to him for five minutes, I felt the hot sun burning my back. Once I got comfortable being on the premises and talking to the people, a group of workers told me that they are provided healthcare by Reiter (the company), but that they have to pay a small fee every time they visit the clinic. They also informed me that only those who have a valid social security number can apply for unemployment benefits, but those without a valid social security number could not. Ramona (lady with pink handkerchief) told me that during the four month break from work she receives an unemployment check for around $1500 a month, which she made clear is not sufficient to raise a family and to pay rent. Ramona also said that she does not qualify for Medical while she works because she makes “too much money” and I know this is true. My Godmother and Godfather, who are both are citizens of this country, are field workers and they do not have medical because they make too much money getting paid minimum wage in Fresno. Also, their boss does not supply them with a clinic, this is why I do not understand why field workers like them cannot receive free health insurance. In my opinion, field workers deserve free health insurance more than anyone in the United States because not everyone is willing to do what they do. If it is hard to live off a field job for those who are residents or citizens of this country, now image the struggles of an undocumented field worker. Undocumented workers do not receive unemployment even though they work a harsh job. I believe that every human individual in Earth should receive free health insurance but since that it hard to change that in this country, at least everyone who works a hard job like field workers should receive free health insurance. What truly inspired me about doing this project is that field workers are amazing hard workers who do what they do to help their families live a better life. Ramona has three children, one son in San Diego University studying for criminology, a daughter in Monterey University about to receive her degree in Agriculture, and a younger daughter who’s currently a dental assistant. I'm really glad I photographed the field workers for this project because I learned so much more from them. They were friendly people that made my friend and I feel like family. Thank you.

Watching the world go by is not an exclusively Indian hobby but it is done rather well here.

On April 6, 1862, Brig Gen Lew Wallace's 6,000 men were scattered along the landward line of Federal communications near Adamsville. When he heard reports of firing at the main Federal positions at 6:00 Lew Wallace immediately began consolidating his troops. He was visited by Grant at 8:30 and told to reinforce the main Federal lines. When marching orders came at 11:30 however Gen Wallace allowed his men lunch, then took the most direct route to Shiloh Church-not Pittsburg Landing as Grant wanted. A frantic series of couriers finally found him at 2:00, telling him that the Federal lines had been pushed to the Landing where he was needed. Lew Wallace counter-marched, placing his best troops back at the front before marching at a snail's pace down this road to reinforce Grant's final line after dark. What should have been a five mile march took nine miles and 7 hrs. Grant was furious. For the rest of his life Wallace, whose military career was essentially ruined at Shiloh, was forced to defend his actions, which Grant may or may not have contributed with now-missing orders. Lew Wallace is more famous for writing the epic novel Ben-Hur, and some have drawn parallels to elements of the plot and Wallace's own experience in the woods of Shiloh.
On April 7, as Grant's only fresh unit, Wallace's Division led a counter-attack on the Confederates of Pond's brigade, which had inexplicably remained near Grant's final line when the rest of the army had pulled back. Pond was quickly driven across Jones Field, until a counterattack by the remains of Gibson's and Wood's Brigades stopped the advance. Sherman's troops joined the fight, again driving the Confederates back across Jones Field.

Edited NASA image of the Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon capsule ready to be moved into position on the launch pad.
Original caption: A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the company's Crew Dragon spacecraft onboard is seen prior to being raised into a vertical position on the launch pad at Launch Complex 39A as preparations continue for the Demo-2 mission, Thursday, May 21, 2020, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA’s SpaceX Demo-2 mission is the first launch with astronauts of the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. The flight test will serve as an end-to-end demonstration of SpaceX’s crew transportation system. Behnken and Hurley are scheduled to launch at 4:33 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, May 27, from Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center. A new era of human spaceflight is set to begin as American astronauts once again launch on an American rocket from American soil to low-Earth orbit for the first time since the conclusion of the Space Shuttle Program in 2011.

Taking up position behind her trusty Nord Stage 2 keyboard and starting with 2012 EP track Grow, the mood was set for the evening with bass, drums and additional keyboards set up on individual risers surrounding Morris accompanied by a string quartet sitting high behind a translucent screen at the rear.
