Sometimes you only have a moment to capture the moment – so it better be done right.

 I should know: with over three decades of professional photography during my career as photojournalist under my belt, almost 20 with the Los Angeles Times, where I was Chief Photographer - plus a few awards along the way (okay, so three of them happened to be Pulizer Prize nominations) – I truly do provide clients with world-class service and expertise.

 My “techie” background doesn’t hurt, either – I’ve got that digital thing down to a science. I basically wrote the book (or at least a few chapters) on digital imaging.

 But it’s the eye for a great photograph that makes the difference, and that’s not something that can really be taught.

 I’m a photographer who’s traveled all over the world, and I have the portfolio to prove it. Check out some of the images on my web site. You might be surprised.

 Travel photographers are a dime a dozen, found on every corner - but traveling photographers who really know their stuff – who know the ropes and have an eye for recording the significant and the unusual – they aren’t so easily come by.

 World class photography - the kind I've practiced in my travels over the years - has a real impact. And the quality makes a visible difference, literally.

 From “hard news” to the soft touch – I have the range that manages to combine the broad with the specific.

 It’s very possible you’ve seen my work - The New York Times, Life magazine, even PBS.

 As a frequently traveling photographer who is drawn to covering current events, natural or manmade disasters marking cultural and historical milestones, I have been all over the country and all over the world, in the service of hundreds of international and domestic news magazines, newspapers and over three dozen books, military included.

 Travel images – travel photographs – should mean something. Military photographs – even if it’s a stationary helicopter as opposed to, say, the Dallas Cheerleaders entertaining the troops at a USO event (yes, that was pretty cool) in Bosnia – and witnessing and having the honor of recording events such as candid captures of US Navy Seals during Hell Week – or tragedies like the earthquake in Mexico, or the aftermath of bloody drug busts or shooting rampages.

 You see a lot when you travel. But someone should be there when our troops put their lives on the line – someone should be there when disasters happen - someone should at least make sure that the image of what went down is there for the survivors to look at – to remember – so we don’t forget, and so others aren’t forgotten.

 Photographing while traveling has been my life for over 35 years. If I were looking for someone to record people and events for me, I’d pick me. I rank with the best and I’m only stating the facts.

 You never know what life will sling at you. So it helps to have that cherished image to hang on to. You may regret not having ENOUGH photographs of that suddenly absent loved one, or that never-to-be-repeated event - but I doubt you'll never regret having too many photos to console you and keep you company after the person is gone, or after the event has passed.

 I record lasting impressions that leave lasting impressions.

 You or your chosen subjects don’t need to end up on the cover of Life magazine, but wouldn’t it be nice if it looked good enough to be there?

 You’ll see the difference.

 My work has been said to change lives - opinions - legislation. It matters. You have no idea. But I do.
