Thank you for stopping by. Let's start with this...I have never been able to talk about myself.
Been a pro since I was 18 years old--I am now 30. I worked my tail off to get to where I am today and I can't thank my friends and family enough for all they have done to support me. Currently I am just beginning a new position as a staff photographer for CBS in Boston, after leaving an amazing 8 years with News 12 Long Island, where I grew and morphed into who I am today.
My still photography in which you see here on my site is what I focus on outside of my full time job as a news photographer. I eat, breath and sleep, photography. I love talking about it, I love teaching it and I love learning new tricks each day about it.
Being a news photographer brings me great joy--every day is a new adventure. I have followed Air Force Paratroopers during live action training missions, been spit on, pushed, shoved, hugged, yelled at, jumped out of airplanes, seen celebrities and the president. I have also seen things many people wouldn't want to see--death, blood, gore, the list goes on. I have seen great things--children finding the ability to walk after detrimental accidents, love and incredible acts of kindness. Each day when I look through my viewfinder I have the chance to look into another world, a world that some people never experience and only see on their televisions.
I leave you with this, the camera is a scope which can gain you access into another place, or life. Use it as a tool to help others, whether it's to bring joy, sadness or important information. Most importantly, use it to help yourself--to understand others and their hardships on this great adventure through life.
