Even after 16 years shooting for US News & World Report, and recently joining European Pressphoto Agency, I’m not my own idea of a photographer. I’ve had assignments in more than 60 countries, won an award or two, and written a memoir. And yet I still hate tech talk, have never worn a Leica around my neck like jewelry, and don’t own a flash.
I do carry a mic and notebook, however. And often a video camera. I love to write and report my own stories; all the multimedia pieces you see here were made by me alone.
As for the rest, I love to teach, to cook, to travel. I have a master’s degree in photojournalism from the University of Missouri, Columbia, and live in Washington, DC, with my wife and two children.
