I’m comfortable with all types of shooting, from drama to documentary. I love the variety of my work, all the places I’ve been and the people I’ve met. I’ve shot in board rooms and operating rooms, classrooms and green rooms, in Federal court and on half courts, in blood banks and savings banks. I’ve shot breast implants and in treatment plants. I feel at home in the wilderness or in the concrete jungle.

At the beginning of the month I never know where I might end up. Over the years I’ve shot from trains, planes, and automobiles, as well as gliders, helicopters, seaplanes, bi-planes, gondolas, ski lifts snowmobiles, and dog sleds. Subways, buses, bicycles, motorcycles, Fisher and Pee-wee, and doorway dollies. Tulip cranes and construction cranes, scissor lifts, and lift trucks, semi trucks and roller blades. Roller coasters and Ferris wheels. Wheel chairs, magliners, ocean liners, cruise ships, and cargo ships. Tug boats and speed boats, factory trawlers and ferries. Sailboats, rafts, canoes, and kayaks.

I enjoy the freelancer’s life, working with all types of people, both in front of and behind the camera.
