Photography
In 1986, my parents gave me a Nikon SLR camera for Christmas, and I instantly fell in love with creating unique and compelling images. Over the course of my career I have shot spot news, features, sports, pictorial, wildlife, illustration and travel assignments for a variety of newspapers both large and small.
