Who I am and what I do...

Who I am
I'm a native of the Washington D.C. area and first fell in love with documentary photography during the burgeoning D.C. music scene in the early eighties. Photographing the bands and community around the music got me hooked.

I began to combine travel and photography in the early 1990s. In 1991, on assignment for Senator Howard Metzenbaum of Ohio, I documented labor and environmental abuses for the Senate hearings on N.A.F.T.A. I found the mingling of photography and travel particularly rewarding. My wife, Roseann and I are avid travelers and hope to pass that on to our two sons, Jasper and Marco.

I'm routinely published in several newspapers and magazines ranging from the Washington Post to SPIN Magazine. I also edit and publish an arts magazine called UNo MAS. It was a print magazine for eight years but now resides on the web.

What I do
I'm primarily an editorial and documentary photographer. I am creative and very easy to work with. Much of my work is done under strict deadlines. I can turn a job around with speed and accuracy. I love to photograph people and tell their stories through my pictures. I have won awards for my editorial work.

My most frequent editorial assignments are entertainment, lifestyles and environmental portraits for a variety of magazines and newspapers. They include live concerts and portraits of writers, artists and musicians. My corporate and commercial work ranges from covering receptions and portraiture to annual reports, trade publications and some advertising.
