As a child and teen laborer Rios, due to extreme heat, convinced his field worker family to leave the Central Valley and join his aunts in San Diego. They moved in 1953. As a 14 year old teen high school drop-out, Rios started his own gardening and landscaping business in La Jolla, California. A client convinced Rios to attend night school to get his high school degree. Rios then pursued a civil engineering degree at community college, eventually dropping the pursuit of engineering when he finds his passion for photography. Rios acquired a degree in commercial and portrait photography at San Diego Community college where he met his mentors. After graduation he sought work as a photographer and landed an interview in Escondido for the regional newspaper, the Escondido Times-Advocate.]]> Daniel Flores Rios]]> Alexa Clausen]]> English]]> Escondido (Calif.)]]> Hanford (Calif.)]]> La Jolla (San Diego, Calif.)]]> Ocean Beach (San Diego, Calif.)]]> Vietnamese diaspora; Refugees; Ethnic identity; Tattoo artists; Philanthropy]]> ]]> Dennis Doan]]> Jennifer Ho]]> In copyright.]]> English]]> San Diego (Calif.); Vietnam]]> Vietnamese diaspora; Refugees; Immigration; Ethnic identity]]> ]]> Jennifer Ho]]> Amy Vo]]> English]]> Chicago (Ill.); San Diego (Calif.); Vietnam
