few photos represent a fraction of my work -- a diverse collection of images
of working people, families, men, women, children, young and old, engaged
with one another, their work, play and passions in urban and rural settings.
Please inquire about other images. I am available for select people-centered
photo documentary assignments involving special personal celebrations or
collective campaigns for peace, justice and power.
