Today, New Mexico made history and abolished its death penalty statute, making it the 35th state without capital punishment. It just so happens that I have a photo exhibit up throughout New Mexico for the next two weeks in conjunction with the one-man play about Juan Melendez, who was exonerated from Florida's death row after it was proven he was innocent. Pictured here is Juan, from an October 2002 event in Chicago. I will be photographing Juan once again next weekend at the Amnesty International conference in Boston, where I will also have a photo exhibit up. Look for photos from that in early April.
