I love what I do for a living. Everyday I get to make new images, meet new people, and learn a little bit about a lot of things. I’ve been photographing people for a long time and still, I’m amazed at what you learn while looking through the lens. Photojournalists tend to think of themselves as a fly on the wall - seeing, processing and recording what’s in front of them in the most non-invasive way possible. From far away, photographs are often about landscape, shape and form, action or non-action. But up close, a camera captures expression and interaction, and a photographer becomes a witness to the subtleties and meaning of everyday life. It’s as though a door has been opened into people’s lives, and it never ceases to amaze me how accepting people are most of the time to let you in.

You may have heard photographers talk about “capturing the moment.” It’s really the key to what photojournalism is all about. I’ve become accustomed to watching people, reading their body language, and learning to anticipate what they will do next. That’s how a moment is really captured. It is sometimes about being in the right place at the right time, but more often than not, careful planning combined with the right amount of anticipation that yields meaningful pictures. Newspapers have been my primary outlet for these everyday observances. And now this site serves a similar purpose in sharing with you the people I’ve had the opportunity to meet, places I’ve had the chance to see and the images that have resulted from those experiences.
