On this episode, I chat with photojournalist Art Ray who shoots local news stories with a camera around Contra Costa County and beyond. We talk about what he does, how he got started and how no one would hire a African American man to shoot news in Chicago.
Ray shares his journey to California and ended up in Contra Costa County and many of the videos on local news channels are from Ray. We get into several other issues from socioeconomic to racism to how politics ruins everything. We touch on Contra Costa County news and what the lack of news the public is getting.
Art Ray also shares his new business which is shooting videos for memorial services while also working to promote the Three Queens of Motown show.
