I picked up my first Brownie camera when I was eight years old. Sixty years later, I'm still chasing the light - just in a different way.
For most of my life, the camera was my job. It took me to 40 countries, places most people only see in the news. Across Europe, the Middle East, South America and Central America, and into the stories that happened in real time. I worked behind the lens on events and moments that didn't wait.
There were deadlines. Expectations. A story that wasn't mine to tell, now for the first time it is.
I'm traveling without an assignment, without a crew, without a plan - just a camera and a lifetime of instinct. I stop when something feels right. I shoot when something moves me.
This isn't about covering the world anymore.
It's about seeing it. Now everything has slowed down.
I still carry the same instinct. I just use it differently now.
I stop more. I wait more. I notice more.
My wife Debbie and I are traveling without a schedule, without deadlines just following what captures our attention. The streets, the people, the quiet moments in between.
I’ll always be an analog guy in a digital world—forever chasing the light and finding the quiet beauty in the streets of a new city. Debbie and I have spent the last year on a global "slow-travel" mission, hunting down the best light and the most authentic meals from Hanoi to Oaxaca.
We’ve spent the last four months living the island life in Cozumel, but the urge to move is back. In two weeks, we’re off for a six-month trek through the historic streets of Berlin, the markets of Palermo, the tapas bars of Granada, and the architectural soul of Mexico City.
This site is my digital storytelling notebook—a place where my photographic eye meets my love for a great restaurant and a perfectly timed image.
