Please allow us to reconfigure the displays of photos, videos and other visuals created by longtime photojournalist Doug Thompson, now retired and taking his time to remember his travels and assignments over a career that spans more than six decades.

We hope to have this redesigned website back up and functioning soon.

The photos above came six decades of photojournalists.

Below are examples of short films shot. All feature performances of area musicians (identified) in the footage and music that cover the subject of each.
