BIOGRAPHY

A picture is a worth a thousand words, but here’s a few hundred that try to explain why I’ve devoted my life to taking photographs. I’m lucky — I discovered early that photography was my passion. Before my ninth birthday, I already knew I wanted to commit to a life behind the camera. I suppose it helped that I didn’t care much about Math or English in school; I wanted the World to be my subject. Sorry, teachers, if I seemed distracted back then — I was determined that I would travel the globe taking pictures, and learn what it had to master my craft. When I grew up, eventually, I set out — and now I have visited over 90 countries photographing the people, places, and events that I only once dreamed I might see someday. They spoke to me then, and they speak to me now. Happily, like that eight-year-old, I still embrace photography as my giddy passion, one I’m eager to share. As one of the first Sony Artisans of Imagery, I have that opportunity, sharing my appreciation for the greatest cameras in the world.
