Photographing some of the kids and families at a refugee camp near Mosul, Iraq

Photography is more a personal interest than a professional one, as its a means of learning and telling stories about things that interest me. In 2017, I was reporting on the impact of ISIS on civilian life and humanitarian work in Iraq. I was in Cairo in the wake of the Egyptian Revolution in 2011. And in 2013, I spent five months hiking 2660 miles from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail, which led to a rather unexpected turn of events.

I grew up on the campus of the Rochester Institute of Technology surrounded by my dad's photographic invention. Below is one of my favorite pictures of him doing infrared photo experiments at the Prado Museum in Madrid in 1980. As a kid I found inspiration in what he was doing when I produced an article on high speed photography for Boy's Life Magazine. It involved taking high-speed flash-synchronized polaroid photographs of my electric race cars jumping a ramp and popping balloons.

I shoot primarily on Leica rangefinders and Canon EOS cameras and lenses.
