01CORY, IN PERSON
A curious mind.
A full life.
I grew up working on cars with my dad. These days I'm just as likely to be building software, out with a camera or riding through Miami with friends.
New Mexico roots. Miami home.
Miami, and wherever curiosity leads.
Through my lensForty photographs, 2010 to 2026
I usually
bring a camera.
A storm from a Miami bridge, a beetle trail at White Sands, a weekend of racing. The photographs are a good place to get to know me.
From the family album
Family
Dad said we needed to talk about the El Camino.
Dad kept my first car long after I stopped driving it. I thought he was about to tell me it was gone.

My grandfather, Bob Goode
Seeing my grandfather again.
I repaired this photograph for my mother about thirty years ago, then lost access to it when the file became corrupted. After years of trying, I can finally see Bob in it again.

Cory, in Miami
New Mexico, then Miami.
Some of my first jobs were with my dad, Gary, painting and finishing drywall. Demolition was the part I liked as a teenager. Putting a room back together took more patience, and Dad cared how it looked when we were done. He took the time to show me how to do it properly, and he did the same with cars.
At San Juan College and then New Mexico Tech, I studied geology and began taking photography seriously. Socorro gave me a job at the New Mexico State Mineral Museum with Dr. Virgil Lueth, and a lot of remote country to explore.
Miami is home now. Life here tends to involve other people: group rides, races to photograph and the long list of arrangements Anna and I work through before Stokebird. Dad is part of that too. He has spent years helping with the generators, and he still comes out to ride.

Dad kept my first car long after I stopped driving it. Years later, he said we needed to talk about the El Camino.

On recordWynwood / 2018 and later coverage
An unexpected day
in Wynwood.
In 2018, a driver struck a pedestrian in Wynwood. I was one of several people who stepped in to help. WSVN reported it at the time, and the story has been retold a few times since.

WSVN's report from the time
WSVN's October 2018 local-news report on the Wynwood incident, after a driver struck a pedestrian. I helped, along with other people who were there.
Later programs and uploads have reused the story, some with 2023 dates. This is the original report they point back to, and it's hosted on WSVN's site.
