Pablo Alcala Year in Review

pablo’s year end show

My show went up this morning. While I had a quieter year than others in terms of national news, I thought I made a few nice photos.  Learning to use the programs to make the shows was a good, if time consuming, experience.  Here are some quick thoughts on the past year.

I was proud to get to know the Castillos.  After getting their immigration status in order, they have bought a home, improved their jobs, started a family and used their good fortune to help others do the same.

I had several opportunities to see people caring for our national parks by cleaning them up or repairing trails. And like every year I do this, I met people from all walks of life, doing all kinds of interesting things.

I began Nuestro Kentucky this year.  It’s my monthly photo column where I show a little slice of our Latino community that maybe people don’t know about.

Personally, this year I celebrated my one-year anniversary of marriage.  We bought a house and adopted a puppy.  I biked my first century, 102 miles, around Lexington, VA, during Bike Virginia, a week-long bike tour of the state.
