About
I make pictures. I do it for a living. I do it for fun. I do it because I love it
I'm currently a staff photojournalist at the Medina Gazette:

"Tragedy is if I cut my finger. Comedy is if I walk into a sewer and die." -Mel Brooks
What plagues my brain from day to day.
Communication. Photojournalism. All things art. Sociology. Technology.
What I do from day to day.
I'm constantly making pictures. When I don't have a camera in hand, I can be found cooking, cycling, surfing — the net, that is, exploring urban centers, exploring in general, and hanging out in coffee shops. Mind you, this isn't a comprehensive explanation of what I do from day to day. Although, I work ... a lot. So, since research is such an integral part of the news-gathering process of being a journalist, I'm online ... a lot.
What I listen to from minute to minute.
