Instead, I tried everything, and have ever since. I studied journalism at the University of Washington and cooking at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. I most recently was the restaurant critic and dining editor of Gambit Weekly in New Orleans - another place where people love to eat and drink.

To keep our lights on, we all depend on private companies and government leaders to make complex decisions that determine how much we pay and how the environment is impacted. I'm interested in digging into which neighborhoods bear the brunt of those decisions, plus how they contribute to — or are influenced by — climate change. I was previously the senior political writer as well as a reporter in our Tallahassee bureau, so I'm well-acquainted with the world of influence. I'm originally from Arizona, a state that instilled in me a love of hiking and tacos al pastor. Have a tip or story idea?

I was inspired by the vivid stories of people from every corner of the world. It was a natural evolution that I ended up studying photojournalism at the University of Florida. I joined Times Publishing Company in 1998, and began documenting storytelling moments for our daily reports – spot news, features, sports, portraiture, food, fashion, etc. My secret (to success): stay focused on the most storytelling elements while remaining open to the unexpected. Photojournalism can also be creative, and I believe it’s my passion to create, along with my personality - adventurous, intense, tenacious, compassionate, confident, patient, curious, evolving - that inspires me to get up each day and do it all over again.","fuzzy_match":false,"author_type":"Times Staff Photographer","firstName":"Douglas","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[],"middleName":"R.","_id":"douglas-clifford","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":"douglas-r-clifford"}]},"subtitle":"","width":4505,"creditIPTC":"Photo by DOUGLAS R.

I was inspired by the vivid stories of people from every corner of the world. It was a natural evolution that I ended up studying photojournalism at the University of Florida. I joined Times Publishing Company in 1998, and began documenting storytelling moments for our daily reports – spot news, features, sports, portraiture, food, fashion, etc. My secret (to success): stay focused on the most storytelling elements while remaining open to the unexpected. Photojournalism can also be creative, and I believe it’s my passion to create, along with my personality - adventurous, intense, tenacious, compassionate, confident, patient, curious, evolving - that inspires me to get up each day and do it all over again.","slug":"douglas-r-clifford","native_app_rendering":false,"fuzzy_match":false,"contributor":false,"status":true,"last_updated_date":"2024-12-13T14:57:22.158Z","middleName":"R.","twitter":"cliftimestweet","author_type":"Times Staff Photographer","custom_tagline":"Contact Douglas R.
