Storytelling in pictures is my passion. My twenty years as a staff photographer at the Hartford Courant was a pleasure and a gift - paid to do what I love, I wandered the streets and towns of Connecticut in search of the extraordinary in the ordinary. As a freelancer, I worked for the New York Times, NPR, Seasons Magazine, The Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, and alumni magazines at the Amherst College, University of Hartford, Smith School for Social Work and Tufts.
