My first solo photo book #NotMyPresident documents protests against Donald J. Trump and his presidency over a five-year period. It features many courageous protestors exercising their First Amendment Rights to protect civil rights and the very fabric of democracy. You can pre-order the book on Indiegogo. The book already raised more than $15,000 from 200 backers on Kickstarter. Why I […]
Photography is not Instagram, and Instagram is not photography. This little quip speaks to the quandary of many modern-day photographers. Instagram holds an outsized role in the world of photography. Many independent photographers think their success revolves around Instagram popularity, and many Instagram users think it is the primary Internet domain of photography.

Clubhouse is the new hot social network, focusing on audio conversations between peers and large rooms where panels or speakers discuss topics. It offers interested photographers an evolution away from gear-centric blogs and vlogs towards more creative and business-oriented conversations. In addition, Clubhouse offers access to other genres of interest, too, from business best practices to lifestyle rooms. Peer-to-peer interactions […]

I have four reasons for this. 1) The Likelihood of Violence The last […]
Today, the Electoral College sealed Donald Trump’s fate by honoring the will of a majority of the American people, and formally casting 306 ballots for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. I want to thank the many protestors across the country who resisted for four years and helped close this horrific chapter of our history. Some may dismiss […]
One year ago, my family visited Acadia National Park for a long holiday weekend. The gorgeous yellow, orange, and red foliage dazzled us. It was just hitting its peak during that brief window of time. Of course, I brought my cameras, and now a year later it is time to share the images in a photo essay. Given the difficulties […]
