Miles Gilburne for Financial Times

I photographed venture capitalist and former AOL executive Miles Gilburne for a Financial Times article.  We started at his office and walked over to his home nearby.  Great commute!

Romney’s Campaign Bus for Inc.

I went down to Miami to shoot the Romney campaign bus at a rally where it was featured prominently.  The bus isn’t usually incorporated into the visuals of an event to such a degree, so I was glad to see it pull right into the event.  I got there several hours early, sweated through my [...]

Patrick O'Connell

Herman Cain for GQ

Around this time last year, Herman Cain was a shooting star in the Republican primary.  With his blindingly white smile and catch-phrase policy (9-9-9 anyone?) he communicated his ideas in an affable way and people responded.  I got called in to photograph a lunch between Cain and a trio of GQ editors at Seventh Hill [...]

Washingtonian asked me to photograph the 2012 recipients of their annual Green Awards earlier this year.  Here are some outs from the shoots.

Cohousing for the AARP Bulletin

A while back, I got to go to Nevada City, California to check out a beautiful little cohousing community.  For those of you who don’t know (and I didn’t before this assignment) cohousing is, according to wikipedia “a type of intentional community composed of private homes supplemented by shared facilities. The community is planned, owned and managed by the [...]

Celebrity Impersonator Convention

Double Takes: My Love of Celebrity Impersonator Conventions

[A Lady Gaga greets an LL Cool J] I sent myself to Las Vegas to check out the Celebrity Impersonator Convention earlier this year.  The moment I realized this was a thing that people actually did, I knew I had to go and I was not disappointed. At first, it was every bit as strange [...]
