I've been a photographer for most of my life and built this site to display some of my work. I also wanted to share the space with the many talented people I'm honored to call friends and contributors. Please look around and if you have any comments, we'd love to hear what you have to say.

Immigration Rally in Lafayette Park, June 30, 2018
July 1, 2018On June 30, 2018, protestors gathered in Lafayette Park, directly across from the White House to protest the Trump administration's recent policy of separating parents and children illegally crossing the border between the U.S. and Mexico, even in cases where they were seeking asylum.
The subsequent march from Lafayette Park seemed sporadic and not as well organized as the rally itself, perhaps due to the intense heat and unrelenting sunshine.
