Sebastian Junger, for the London Times
In May I had the pleasure of working with fellow journalist, Sebastian Junger, when I photographed him for the London Times. I met him at his hotel in D.C. during the his tour to promote his new book, War.
Recently, Junger released a documentary with Tim Hetherington called Restrepo. Its a powerful documentary capturing the story [...]

Magenta Flash Forward Win!
The other day night after a tiring day, I was reading through my email and I opened up the newsletter from the Magenta Foundation announcing this years winners for the Flash Forward contest. I was shocked to see my name as one of the U.S. winners. As I sat there, smiling with the glow of [...]

London Times, Questions and Out takes
About a week or so I went down to D.C. and shot some pictures of author Chloe Schama for the London Times. Chloe spent about a year in London on a grant working on her book that was recently released. It was an absolute pleasure spending a few hours with the talented and charming 26 [...]
The Video Phenom….
Last week marked my first directorial debut! I shot and directed a music video with On Que records for one of their artists and it was an amazing experience. The creative juice was flowing and we shot all day, hitting multiple locations in Baltimore. I grabbed a few stills while shooting which is what I [...]
Wall Street Journal…
I shot an assignment for WSJ on Tuesday in Delaware and it was one of those where I found myself saying, “Man, I love my job.” over and over as I wondered around the amazing Winterthur Museum gardens photographing snowdrops. I loved the movie, Adaptation, so this was sort of my run at the closest [...]
Wall Street Journal…
Right after I returned from my trip through Asia, I got a call from The Wall Street Journal to shoot an assignment right here in Baltimore. See the story link below.

Hong Kong Fest 2010, Year of the Tiger
I was in Hong Kong during this years Chinese New Year and managed to get myself behind the scenes of Hong Kong’s largest celebration, Hong Kong Fest 2010. It was a full scale production, broadcasted across Hong Kong with dancers and performers galore. Guests consisted of local celebrities and people who shelled out top dollar [...]

Back in the U.S.
After a month of traveling through Thailand, Hong Kong and Singapore, with most of the time in Thailand, I am little sad to be back. The trip was amazing all around. I love how travel makes me question everything that I am familiar with and reinterpret my world. If anything, this trip helped me ask myself some [...]
Muay Thai
A few posts ago I mentioned that I had started photographing Muay Thai kick boxing. Here is an image from that shoot. It was my first time ever seeing the sport live much less photographing it and it really had me captivated. Through out the night, during each fight, a live band would play what [...]
Koh Lipe…
After spending about a week in Bangkok we have moved to the island of Koh Lipe where I have never seen water and beaches as beautiful as this. The trek down here was not easy, starting off with the taxi taking us to the wrong airport at 5 a.m., then the 2nd taxi trying to [...]
Goodbye Bangkok…
Bangkok has been very good to me and I am sad to say goodbye. I am off to island hop off the Western Coast of Thailand tomorrow morning and I am looking forward to the sun and beach.
The last few days have been a great time as we met a group of locals around our [...]
Bangkok…
I arrived in Bangkok, Thailand today and was greeted by wonderful light and a blessing, literally. I am staying on the out skirts of Bangkok, just far enough from the main city to really get a feel for local life away from tourism. After dropping off my stuff I headed out, wondering around and within [...]
Hong Kong…
I have been in Hong Kong for the last three days or so and I am off to Bangkok on Tuesday. Hong Kong is one crazy place, packed with people, pollution and an interesting convergence of Chinese and Western culture. The city is not large by any means, but is home to some 7 million [...]
Up Coming Travel….
I am going to be heading to S.E. Asia on January 13th and will be for there till February 14th, traveling through Hong Kong, Thailand and the Philippines. I will be available for assignments in the region and will be working on personal work. I will keep the blog updated with pictures, news and location [...]
DeWalt…
Near the end of summer I shot something for DeWalt inside a few of Baltimore’s old row homes as they were being rehabbed. Here’s a little look. You can see the rest on my website in the newly added commercial gallery.

I have been working on my website and have been updating it the last couple days. I added a new gallery, “In The Night’s Light” and added images to the hip-hop story as well. If you have a moment, take a look and send me any thoughts you may have.
New Tears continued!
This month The Advocate ran the story I shot for them during the “Dont Ask, Don’t Tell” march in D.C. in October. I shot a six page essay, trailing David Valk, a 23 year old activist who uses social media to organize groups of people for protests. When I was with him, he and magazine [...]
