My love of photography started, as it does for so many, in my late teens when my mother handed me her Nikon SLR. With encouragement from professors and mentors, my skills evolved over the years. Photojournalism is where I got my start, and it remains my passion. For the past 20+ years, I have had the awsome privilege of working with NASA to document their human spaceflight program, an experience that has challenged both my technical and artistic skills.
