Emotion
Emotion, expression and body language in visual journalism allows us understand, experience and learn about people and the world around us. Living in our safe, air conditioned homes, we are isolated from what is happening in the world around us. Visual journalism puts us there.
My mission
Through photojournalism, I bring our community to my viewers to give them a better understanding of the world around them.
Experience
I have over thirty years of industry experience in visual journalism and seven years of experience teaching on the college level. I've taught at the Art Institute of Dallas, the Art Institute of Fort Worth, the University of Texas at Arlington and Texas Tech University.
