My latest book, “Master’s Guide to Off-Camera Flash” is available at Amazon and other book outlets. Published by Amherst Media, it’s my first solo title, having co-authored two previous photography books. Future posts will highlight some of the photographs and stories behind them.

I love what I do. Photography has been my only job since entering college. It’s exciting, creatively fulfilling, and has paid the bills. I’m passionate about it, often feeling like I eat, sleep, live, and breath photography. In the past 1/2 dozen years or so, many of my assignments have met the above criteria and...

Also posting about present day events and photo subjects allows for "real time' sharing of those experiences.
