My passion for photography has been a passport to adventure. As the photographer for the Peace Corps, my travels took me to the far corners of the world. I saw and photographed people from diverse cultures and all walks of life. I met emperors, kings and prime ministers, but for me the people who lived on the edge of poverty in Third World countries were more important. I wanted my camera to be a tool for social change. My published pictures often did make a difference.
My best friend was Ed Clark, one of LIFE Magazine's star photographers. I also knew Alfred Eisenstaedt, another masthead photographer for LIFE.
After my years with the Peace Corps, I became a freelance photographer and writer, syndicated to newspapers throughout North America. I was also represented by Black Star for placement of my illustrated articles in major magazines in Europe, South America and Asia.
Currently I am a content provider for Corbis, that massive image archive owned by Bill Gates. I am also a Marco Polo member of the Society of America Travel Writers.
A few years ago I switched from film to digital cameras and never looked back. I manage my images and write my articles on an Apple MacIntosh laptop and shoot with two Canon digital cameras and a variety of lenses.
