@jaymcalderon Humble is cool, but we all know you rock. #Facts

I worked with @jaymcalderon for 10 years at The Desert Sun. There is no better environmental photojournalist in Southern California. Check out this thread and link for his latest essay documenting the #SaltonSea.

The Desert Sun hired me, a young photojournalist, in 1998 and I fell in love with Southern California landscapes. The Salton Sea was a big surprise to those fresh eyes. I've been documenting the sea ever since and this is an essay of those photos. https://t.co/TKOEroFsAp

@guyrhodes @SouthwestAir *try the vest.

[Crystal Housman @ChathamPhoto]

@guyrhodes @SouthwestAir Yes! In the military, we train and train for the worst case scenario. In civilian life, it’s like “here’s a safety card with pictures, here’s your brief, good luck.” I do want to try the best, the slide, and the rafts, even if just in a pool.

[Crystal Housman @ChathamPhoto]

@guyrhodes @SouthwestAir I’m sure the flight crew would get us out safely, but there’s no replacement for muscle memory. Trained passengers could be a value-add. If you find a place, let me know. (Random Sunday musings.)

[Crystal Housman @ChathamPhoto]

@guyrhodes Since moving to the coast a few years ago, I reach down and check for the life vest under my seat every single flight. One turbulent night flight with several go arounds out over the ocean is all it took to get my attention.

My latest story for @CalGuard’s Grizzly Magazine is a simple news piece covering the @129RQW honored its Outstanding Airmen of the Year ceremony in #SantaClara. https://t.co/VUB2DUGmOe

That feeling when you accidentally send your entire inbox to the trash… #Monday

[Crystal Housman @ChathamPhoto]

I was on assignment at a country music festival outside of Phoenix when news broke of Pat Tillman’s death. The usually rollicking Country Thunder took on a somber tone. Now, as an @ASU grad student & military member, his sacrifice hits even closer to home. #September11

[FOX College Football @CFBONFOX]

Following the attacks of September 11th, @ASUFootball legend Pat Tillman put aside his football career to enlist in the US Army

His sacrifice and legacy live on today 🇺🇸

[Crystal Housman @ChathamPhoto]

Morning reading and remembering. #September11

[Crystal Housman @ChathamPhoto]

What was it like to be a fighter pilot on 9/11? Listen to one story here - #AvGeek

[The California Military Department @TheCalGuard]

After U.S. airspace locked down #September11, an airliner was still heading toward San Francisco. Two Cal Guard fighter jets were sent to check it out. One of the pilots shares his story in Cal Guard’s first short documentary, here - https://t.co/ajePTrBX9K

Scrolling through a Twitter account you haven’t used in a few years is like opening a digital time capsule. Good times.
