I've worked on staff for Florida and California newspapers and I now freelance from San Diego, working anywhere editorial assignments take me. I have a San Diego Police Department media credential and a current US passport. My Spanish skills are good enough for me to hail a cab and feed myself when I'm in Mexico - muy importante! I'm a member of the National Press Photographers Association and the American Society of Media Photographers. I recently began developing and teaching photography courses for an adult continuing education organization. So... why photojournalism? I'd originally planned to become some vague incarnation of a "commercial photographer." In my research about how to achieve that, I found that many photographers started by working for newspapers. That sounded like a good idea so I somehow latched onto a job for a tiny newspaper in San Diego. I found I loved telling visual stories about people, and any real desire to do any other kind of photography quickly vanished. (I should have known my destiny early on - the first roll of film I shot with my very first camera, a Kodak Instamatic, had photos of the aftermath of a multi-car fire. Someday I'll get them scanned for a blog post.) Before beginning my photography career I served in the US Navy, flying as a sensor operator in S-3A Vikings from USS Carl Vinson. Here's a little trivia about me so you know what you're getting yourself into who you're working with.
