I was sent to Columbia to photograph South Carolina republican candidate for governor, Nikki Haley, on the night she accepted the republican nomination. That night it was one picture of current Governor Mark Sanford and his ex-wife, Jenny, greeting each other with a quick kiss that caused quite a buzz. The Greenville News ran the photograph (as well as other local papers), but The News chose not to release it to television.  Read More

For the first time, I am showing my work in a gallery setting. It is a dual show with artist Jackie Shapiro Rosen. As most of you who visit my website know, I traveled to Germany in search of my family history. I will be showing 14 of those photographs. If you have the opportunity, please come to the opening reception this Friday at Village Studios & Gallery in the Pendleton Street Arts District from 6-9 pm. And, if you can't make the reception, the show will be on display through the end of April. Thanks for all your support!!

Today I was sent to photograph day two of a brush/woods fire. I got to the scene and photographed the command center where firefighters were cooling off from fighting fire in 99 degree heat.

This is where I ended up.....
