Dr. Novin for the Wall Street Journal
I photographed Dr. Neil Novin for a disturbing story on the state of the Social Security Administration. The agency has a stable of doctors that review cases of the people who apply for federal disability benefits. This year, they told those doctors that the number of applicants was too great and in response, the Administration [...]
This Year on the Road
I wasn’t on the road this year as much as last, but here are some frames from my travels through California, Wyoming and New York. Next year I’m looking at trips to China, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. I haven’t been out of the country in almost 4 years and it’s time to [...]
Julia Ingham for the Wall Street Journal
Julia Ingham got sucked into a bad real estate deal in Florida in the hopes of making some good money for her retirement. She invested in four properties which were all foreclosed upon and six years on, she finds herself on the receiving end of a deficiency judgement. Read the article here to learn more [...]
Walt Johnson for the AARP Bulletin
I photographed Walt Johnson, a self-described full-time volunteer for the AARP, in Rialto, CA. He keeps AARP handouts on a wide range of topics in his car (which he pulls from a much larger supply in a storage locker near his home) and is always happy to talk about the association and senior issues. We hung [...]
Terry Jackson for the AARP Bulletin
I photographed retired Maryland Army National Guard Master Sergeant Terry Jackson at her home in Edgewood, MD. The Bronze Star recipient served her country for 31 years and was being featured for an article about an expo for female veterans and their families and caregivers.
AARP Capitol Hill Blitz for the AARP Bulletin
I covered a major AARP advocacy effort on Capitol Hill for the AARP Bulletin, part of the behemoth association’s editorial arm. Over 500 volunteers from around the country descended on Congress to demand that they cut waste, not Medicare or Social Security benefits. I followed the West Virginia contingent as it went from office to [...]
Occupy Wall Street
I’d been trolling the internet for weeks, indignantly calling for better photographs of what had been described to me over and over again as a transcendent movement. Based upon the pictures, Occupy Wall Street did not look transcendent. It looked like every other damn left-wing protest photographed in America going back at least 15 years. [...]
Visa Data Center for Fast Company
I got a call from Fast Company a few months ago to shoot one of Visa’s top-secret data facilities. I went to an undisclosed location and the reporter and I were led on a private tour by some security suits. There were many, many things I was not permitted to shoot, including the chocolate waterfall. [...]
My Business Cards – A Sentimental Journey
Back in March of this year, I decided I needed to rebrand. I’d always been pretty haphazard with design, preferring to do it myself to save a few $$, but I am a terrible designer. I decided to commit to doing it right, so I met with the ultra-talented design professional Jill Brunner and began [...]
