He was on a Los Angeles Times team of reporters and photographers that won a Pulitzer Prize in 1984 for a series on Latino life in southern California. He is also the author of several books including his most recent, "Shine Boy," a memoir about growing up in the barrios of Tucson, Arizona, which includes images from his collection.
