Narratively asked me visit the Washington, D.C. Congressional Cemetery, a 35-acre plot that Congress has used for almost 200 years. The images were to accompany this personal story about how the area had been neglected for some time, but still retained much if its original beauty.
LGBT Catholic Church Ministry in Newsweek
Newsweek featured the video series that I created about Saint Matthew Catholic Church and its ministry that is designed to support and affirm its LGBT community. Below is a partial screenshot from Newsweek's final layout online.
You may view the series on my website, and for more information about the ministry, visit its website.
World Wildlife Fund - Anita van Breda Portrait
For World Wildlife Fund, I photographed Anita van Breda, their expert on disaster risk. We met at the Georgetown Waterfront in Washington, D.C., an area that she helped rebuild. Anita works with local and global humanitarian aid agencies to preserve and restore habitats and natural resources.
National Geographic Student Expeditions - Iceland and Yellowstone
This summer, I had the privilege of teaching photography to high school students for National Geographic Student Expeditions. Our first trip included 12 days of exploration around Yellowstone National Park. The successive journey was 15 days circumnavigating Iceland. Here are some of the images that I captured along the way.
Panama and Costa Rica with Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic
In the spring of 2015, I taught photography aboard the Lindblad / National Geographic Expedition to Costa Rica and Panama. We disembarked from Colon, Panama, a short distance from the Panama Canal’s Atlantic entrance. Our journey took us through the canal and into Gatun Lake, where we visited a Smithsonian Institute Research Center. Upon exiting the canal, we continued along the Pacific side of Panama and Costa Rica. Each day, we explored islands and coastline in search of amazing wildlife and fascinating educational opportunities. Activities included horseback riding, bird watching, swimming/kayaking and hiking. All the while, I would gather with enthusiastic photographers and share in the craft. Here are some photos from the expedition.
