Bill Webb Memorial for Fox Sports

I've never really photographed a funeral or memorial before. I've taken a camera to some funerals, but never been the paid photographer at one. It was an interesting and uplifting experience to celebrate the life of someone who clearly made a huge difference to so many people

NYBG Chihuly

The Chihuly Exhibit will be opening soon at the New York Botanical Gardens and I was so fortunate to be booked to create some of the photographs that will be released with the opening press release for the exhibit. Of course the final decision will be in the hands of the Chihuly team, but here are some of my favorite photographs from last night

Malala Yousafzai

I would say that generally my policy was to politely refuse a "celebrity" photo opportunity. Then years ago Bill Clinton asked if I wanted a photo and I politely declined and immediately felt like a rude idiot. How could I refuse the opportunity with Malala Yousafzai. I hope my daughter has even an ounce of her drive

“My great hope is that this will be the last time we must fight for the education of our children. Let us solve this once and for all.”
