- About Me
- I love adventure, working hard, getting hot and sweaty while shooting a major disaster or uprising or whatever. I get an adrenaline rush from being in the middle of the action. I've been doing pj work for 2 years, lived with the rebels in Haiti when they took over the country, been shot at several times and almost killed Oct. 8 (went right back out the next day!), photographed 3 floods/hurricanes including the one in Haiti where 3000 people lost their lives, the violence in Port-au-Prince (I've seen way to much death), and a variety of other things. I'm very carefree and tend to "go with the flow". I love to stay with the people that I'm photographing and get to know them and their stories. List of credits: Time Magazine, CNN.com, Fort Worth Star Telegram, Arizona Republic, NACLA (cover and inside...2 issues), Compaq headquarters' gallery along with Hermann Hospital and Kelsey Siebold, S&L magazine, Clamor, a book for Terre des Hommes, NEED magazine (they featrued 12 photogs worldwide including Steve McCurry, Antonin Kratchovil, Alex Webb, Ami Vitale and a few others and me, for some reason. We each got a 5 page spread), American Photo, Popular Photography, Living with Pinache (Ft. Worth Star Telegram), Stanford University, numerous brochures for the state of Texas, and a variety of others as well as numerous websites. Still new to the biz having only been doing it for around 2 years. I LOVE being a photojournalist!! There is nothing better in the world! I also ran a photo tour company for awhile, was interviewed by National Geographic, Living with Pinache and Oustide Magazine. Outside Mag. nominated one of my tours as their choice for tour of the year. It was a lot of work, but I enjoyed it. I will hopefully start it up again at some point. I had to stop to concentrate on my pj career.
UPDATE: I now consider myself a wedding photographer, even though I still love photojournalism. I have the greatest brides in the world! - Favorite Aspect of Photography
- I love meeting the people and getting to know their stories. I also love to help people with my photos which is why I give a number of my images away free to ngo's. That's why I do this.
- Photo Gear
- Canon and Nikon, although I don't use the Nikons anymore.
