BS in Photojournalism from Kent State, Ohio 1977. Freelance corporate/editorial photographer since then. Lot of work for regional and city publications. Started shooting regional assignment work for Getty Images when they were still called Liaison. A few years ago started picking up assignments from their London office for publications such as the Financial Times & Guardian. Recently photographed a story regarding the sub prime mortgage flap for the German magazine Welt up in Erie,Pa. I’ve been shooting digitally for about six years now. I try to get a quality of authentic emotion into my photos.
