Portfolio (Best of Photojournalism - Part 3 of 7)

I was first a photojournalist before I did anything else with photography and I have a great passion for it. I have traveled and lived all over the United States to get the story through photographs and the thirst I feel will never be diminished. I have a press pass through a press photographers organization called NPPA (National Press Photographers Association) and it is also who I have my camera and computer insurance through. I started out as a student member in college 13 years ago and became a professional member when I moved to New York City. That press pass has allowed me to photograph such things as protests, Presidential inaugurations, presidential campaign stops, NY Fashion week, sports and much, much more. I have treasured documenting my career through photographs and I hope to for the rest of my life!
