Photojournalism has always been about people and communicating their lives and experiences through photos that appear in print of the Internet. Photography has also been a passport to world travel and an introduction to the most fascinating people. I consider myself fortunate to continue my passion for telling stories about people, places and things via photography.

I continue my passion for photography with a creative sprit and a pursuit of high quality digital and film images.

My images have appeared in Time Magazine, US News, USA Today, The New York Times, New Orleans Times-Picayune along with their web sites.

Photographing Louisiana's people, their unique cultures and customs, is a rewarding creative endeavor. From New Orleans' interesting lifestyle,art and cuisine, to the Cajun swamps of the Acadiana's Louisiana provides an abundance of beauty images. The state's natural resources, and it's national and international importance to energy production keeps it prominent in the news. Also, some of it's current and former residents are well known in the
entertainment world. All these aspects motive me to photograph every parish in the state.
