Lori Singleton-Clarke for the Wall Street Journal
Miss Singleton-Clarke fought the man and won. What makes her case exceptional is that she fought the IRS without a lawyer. She got her papers in order, prepared her case, and won a victory that sets a precedent for thousands of other Americans in her shoes. She’s seen here clasping the paperwork that she so [...]
Wolf Blitzer for Every Day With Rachael Ray
I did a shoot back in November for Rachael Ray’s magazine. She has a regular column where she talks to celebrities about the contents of their refrigerators. The picture I took of Wolf Blitzer finally ran in the March issue which hit newsstands last week.
I arrived at Wolf’s suburban Maryland home early in the morning, [...]
Bobby
I photographed Bobby Coward for USA Today in December as he watched his efforts to make D.C. just a little more accessible for the disabled come to fruition. This month, twenty wheelchair accessible taxis are now roaming the streets of the city where there were none before. It’s hard to believe that it’s taken this [...]
CEO Severance for the Wall Street Journal
Last month, I shadowed Paul Joegriner for a story that ran on the front page of yesterday’s Wall Street Journal. Once again, they did a nice job with both the article and slideshow.
It’s becoming slightly redundant for me to say that I enjoyed my day following so and so around, because I always enjoy it. [...]
The Renna-McElrath Family for USA TODAY
I photographed Cathy Renna and Leah McElrath as they took their daughter Rosemary to school for a USA TODAY story about a bill before the Washington City Council that would allow same-sex couples to marry. Cathy and Leah have already been married to each other twice. The first time was in a religious ceremony [...]
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for PARADE Magazine
Photographing Secretary Clinton at the State Department is like observing a moose in the wild. You’re really hoping to see it do something interesting like get into a fight with a bear or go for a swim or don a top hat and perform a musical number- but mostly it just stands around grazing. Secretary [...]
Virginia Gubernatorial Candidate Bob McDonnell for USA Today
As I sit at my computer and write this post on election day eve here in Virginia, I find myself thinking about the importance of local politics. Voter turnout is likely to be a little lower this year than last. Without the glamor and excitement of a presidential election, folks just don’t get out to [...]
Funeral Plot Real Estate for the Wall Street Journal
This was a pretty interesting story. The gentleman pictured above, Mr. John Dotson, purchased a double plot in a Maryland cemetery from a traveling salesman in the early 90s. He planned to spend the hereafter with his wife in the quiet memorial park near his home. However life (or death) is what happens when you’re [...]
Car Columnist Joseph White for the Wall Street Journal
I came back early from a marvelous weekend at the PDN Expo in New York (where I picked up a few new secret weapons) to shoot a job for the Wall Street Journal. I woke up extra early to drive into DC to follow WSJ senior editor, automotive industry reporter and columnist Joseph White as [...]
Congressman Frank Kratovil for TIME
It’s rare that I get to shoot anything outdoors anymore but the other week, I got a call asking me to spend the day following freshman congressman Frank Kratovil around his district. It was almost entirely outdoors on a glorious day. I even got a sunburn.
Blue was definitely the color of the day and reporter [...]
White House for TIME
A few weeks ago, I was asked to show up at the White House to spend the day covering for another photographer who couldn’t make it for the obligatory pool coverage. I was more than happy to oblige, and thankfully I wasn’t thrown into the deep end. It was a slow day at La Casa [...]
Congressman Ron Paul for TIME
The lighter side of Ron Paul on white seamless.
The darker, more contemplative side lit by glorious congressional window light.

Congressman Charles Rangel for TIME
I shot my first assignment for TIME Magazine back in July. They asked me to shoot a portrait of Congressman Charles Rangel (D-NY) in the morning and then follow him around for a few hours. To me, this is the best kind of assignment. You get to know your subject a little bit and engage [...]
Law and Order Superfan for TV Guide
I photographed Law and Order superfan Cassandra Ramirez for a special L&O edition of TV Guide. It turns out the show has quite the rabid following, with collectors snatching up rare items from the show on ebay and other venues. Cassandra had quite the collection, which I tried my best to fit into one frame [...]
Air Guitar!
I recently got to shoot the 2009 US Air Guitar Championships for the Associated Press. It was totally awesome and totally metal. Who needs real guitars when you’re faced with talent and showmanship like this?
Ryan Layman, stage name Stryker / Dreamcatcher, of Denver, Colo. smashes beer cans together during his set. My camera got a [...]
Arne Duncan for Australian Financial Review
I photographed Secretary of Education Arne Duncan for Australian Financial Review. They ran the picture on the left to go with a column called “Front of Mind.” It’s a beautiful magazine and the picture looked great in it. It was a fun, quick shoot and Secretary Duncan was a great sport about running all over [...]
The Many Faces of Steven Van Zandt for The Guardian
I had the pleasure of photographing Steven Van Zandt for The Guardian of London the other week. You may remember him from HBO’s The Sopranos as Silvio, owner of the Bada Bing. If there are any Springsteen fans in the house, you’ll know him as Little Steven or Miami Steve from the E Street Band. [...]
