About Me
In 2005 I left Seattle Times where I had worked as a staff photographer for twenty two years, first as a sports photographer and designer, moving on to work on an array of international, domestic and regional assignments. For eight years I was the staff photographer for the newspaper's Sunday magazine, shooting nearly 300 cover stories both in the pacific northwest and around the world. I am a story driven photographer interested in shooting truthful photographs that are both timeless and timely.

In addition to my work at the Times, I have photographed both self-generated and assigned stories for LIFE, Sports Illustrated, TIME, People and The National Geographic Society. I also photograph projects for corporate clients looking for a journalistic approach and I have collaborated with artists, dancers and authors to produce images that promote their work.
I have received regional and national awards for photography from The Society for Newspaper Design, Society of Professional Journalists, The NFL Hall of Fame, The Associated Press and from the National Press Photographers Association.
