In addition to photojournalism I also shoot commercial work focusing on outdoor recreation (mountain biking, rock climing, skiing etc..) I am now currently freelancing for the New York Times.
Before college I spent a year in Toulouse, France learning French. During the last nine years I have either lived in or visited 17 countries. Brazil is my favorite all-round, with South Africa being my least favorite in terms of safety, but most favorite in terms of people and natural beauty. I love good food, good wine, good conversation and random adveture. I’ve had many wierd little jobs over the years: Farm Hand, Housekeeper, Cook, Kitchen Steward (figure that one out), Waiter, Hay Bailer, Patagonia clothing saller, environmental activist, graphic designer, fishing guide and ski instructor.
I am always looking for interesting and exciting projects, and I love to collaborate with others on larger projects and/or experimental multimedia photojournalism.
