I discovered an early passion for photography’s magical power to hold beautiful moments of time forever.
That magic led me to New York City where I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts as a Photography major from the School of Visual Arts in New York City in 1992.
I began my path as a visual storyteller, learning from and working beside some of the greatest visual journalists of the time.
As a photojournalist and writer, my articles and pictures have been published in The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Associated Press and other print and online publications.
As a video journalist, cameraman and editor, my documentary video productions have been broadcast on ABC News Nightline, NBC News in Washington DC, ABC World News Tonight, HBO, Al Jazeera English, and National Geographic Online.
I’m the Founder and Executive Producer of The Photography Channel, at www.photographychannel.tv. The website presents 20 high-resolution videos about photographers and their stories.
In this field of work, I’m frequently asked about the most unusual story I live in the middle of – and that is what it’s like to live in a world of visuals when I am inspired so deeply by my amazing parents who both happen to be blind. I know this coincidence has given me a unique understanding of how the blind are seen and un-seen. It is time to tell that story and bring these two worlds together so they can appreciate and celebrate one another.
To earn a living and support my family, I'm a real estate advisor in Washington, DC with the Mollaan Babbington Group of Compass.
