these two little girls I photographed at the Skokie Valley Agudath Jacob Synagogue in 2010. This is the oldest and largest Holocaust memorial service in the Midwest and one of the largest in the United States. After seeing that it was Holocaust Memorial Day today, I couldn’t get these girls out of my head and […]

Job “Fair” ?
As a social worker and later as a photographer, I entered schools and homes in just about every demographic of Chicago and its surrounding suburbs. From the South Side to the North Side, I feel like I saw it all. Every place had its benefits and drawbacks and there were many times I’d leave wanting […]
The Best Tramp in Town
I took a little weekend excursion to Astoria, OR last week and while driving around the quaint hillside overlooking the Columbia River, I noticed a family in their yard. Behind them? A trampoline. I could see that trampoline had a quite a nice view and I thought, “Any kid who jumps on that must feel […]
Chicago Students Thaw Out in Seattle
Had the privilege of shooting Loyola University Chicago’s Quinlan School of Business Spring Break Immersion trip to Seattle a couple of weeks ago. There is something about visitors that always make your home city feel new again. Had a blast tagging along with them while they visited Pike Place Market and rode the Seattle Great […]
Almost
Photographed Foster High School during the 2014 WIAA 2A Regionals against Hockinson. Foster fought until the very end, always trailing just a few points behind.

I followed horse trainer, Matt Zimmerman, from his win at the “Extreme Mustang Makeover” in Albany, Oregon, to his adoption of his new horses in preparation for the biggest competition of them all: “The Mustang Million” in Ft. Worth, TX. I […]
Puget Sound Business Journal at The Museum of Flight
Photographed the Puget Sound Business Journal’s “Book of Lists – The Listmakers’ Reception” at the Museum of Flight in Seattle. Nothing like hobnobbing under an SR-71 .

Giving thanks for kids who know how to look at a camera. Thank you beautiful Maddie.
You Just Might Miss It
I always love covering state swimming. In the past I would have to cover about 20 teams (with another photographer) and it was hard to focus on anything else except the action shot. This year all I had to cover was Mt. Rainier High School so I was able to get some shots out of […]
Bye Ball!
When my brother was little he used to say to the setting sun, “Bye ball!”. We’ve had a very foggy week here in Seattle, but Tuesday night it burned off before this beautiful sunset. I was at the Columbia Tower Club shooting some Seattle CEO’s at a gathering for the Puget Sound Business Journal. I […]
