Expertise

I can answer questions about all social photography (wedding, corporate, b`nai mitzvah). All general questions about digital photography and, of course, film. Photojournalistic and travel photo questions can also be asked as that is another specialty of mine.

Past/Present Clients

McDonald's, Sprint, GE, Ford, NBC, IBM, Princess Cruises, NCL and I work the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon every year.
I have worked for The New York Times, USA Today, AP and dozens of other international and national publications. I have shot hundreds of weddings, b'nai mitzvah and corporate social events.

What do you like about this subject?

Variety...as a freelancer, you can go from shooting a national politician to a bar mitzvah in one hour. You are constantly moving among different economic, social and political worlds. The learning curve is steep and most fascinating. I love the variety of the profession. Not much money but....

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I want to keep learning about all the innovations in my field. The more one learns, the better one gets.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

You are combining a machine with art.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Your curiosity is never satisfied when shooting different events.
