Went back to Jamaica recently to shoot aerials for the German TV documentary. All went well. Worked with Aerial Filmworks and the Cineflex camera.

Some Stories I Shot

I will be adding pieces to this page and blog over time as time permits, thanks for taking the time to look around.

Amsterdam News

This was a nice little piece about the Amsterdam News in New York, one of the oldest African American newspapers in the country. Story was shot for German Public Television.

Remembrances II

A few of the of the people I've shot over the years:

Billy the famous Bowery antiques dealer:

Tony Blair and German Foreign Minister

Henry Kissinger at his home in Connecticut

Charlie Rose interview with Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, shot Sept. 2011 in NYC, the second year I did Mr. Rose's interview with Ahmadinejad

Remembrances

Having been a DP for over 25 years I have travelled all over the USA and the world on many and diverse assignments. From The frozen edges of the North American Continent to the jungles of Brazil or Vietnam, there have been experiences that have shaped my life profoundly. There have been times of joy, times of fear, times of happiness, and all others you could imagine in between, which for some reason I can't at this moment articulate. Articulation does not come easy to me, written or oral, perhaps that is why I became a photographer: a way to translate what I see and how I feel, what I think is my place in the universe into some tangible form others might understand.  Sometimes I forget the places I've been, the people I've met, the emotions I've experienced through the lens over these many years. So now, and over the course of this blog, there is an opportunity to add some photos and thoughts from projects past, a bit of remembrance and form of translation of this life before I get too old to remember anything. Enjoy...

In North Vietnam shooting a documentary about jazz music for Japanese TV

Just returned from a three week documentary shoot in Jamaica for German Public Television. Started out in Kingston, and continued shooting in various areas based around Ocho Rios and Montego Bay, including the Blue Mountains. All around a very successful shoot.
