His passion has taken him from the Arizona deserts to the frozen lakes of northern Wisconsin; from the surf of California to the swamps of Florida, and beyond.  Now with over 15 years of experience as a professional photographer, his work has appeared in numerous publications including the San Francisco Chronicle, SF Bay Guardian, and East Bay Express. He has also worked with politically progressive candidates and politicians on multiple campaigns, and with organizations that promote social and ecological justice, such as the Smith Renaissance Society, Rainforest Action Network, Resource Center for Non-Violence, and the Seva Foundation.
