Roberto Rosales, 43, works for the Albuquerque Journal and is one of the few Latino photojournalists in New Mexico. Rosales said he works as a visual storyteller and must take into account ever-changing variables such as weather, traffic, crowds and deadlines for each assignment. He said capturing the right moment requires thorough knowledge of his camera and the willingness to travel anywhere his editor sends him. Whether he is working in a cornfield or listening to a police scanner in his car for something newsworthy, Rosales said he is always ready to follow a story wherever it may take him.
Rosales composes a shot of the Maize Maze for the Albuquerque Journal. He has been working for the paper for 12 years.
