Visual Narrative, Process, and Practice
This blog is a place to share ideas, lessons, and observations gathered over more than three decades of working in photography, video, and visual storytelling. It reflects how I think about narrative, craft, collaboration, and the role visual media plays in helping people and organizations communicate with clarity and purpose.
I approach visual storytelling as an evolving practice. Each project, collaboration, and challenge adds to how I see the world and how I help others tell their stories. This blog is part of that ongoing process, a place to reflect, refine ideas, and share what I continue to learn through real-world work.
You’ll find writing here on photography, video production, narrative structure, creative process, and the practical realities of working with clients and teams. Some posts are instructional, others reflective, but all are rooted in experience and an ongoing commitment to doing thoughtful, honest work.

Why Original Photography Still Matters in an AI and Smartphone Era
Smartphones, AI, and stock photos are everywhere—so why invest in original photography? Because trust matters. Businesses, especially community banks and local brands, need real, authentic images—not generic stock photos. I’ve used everything from a 1960s plastic camera to an iPhone in my work, but one thing remains true: the best tool is the one that tells the most compelling story. Let’s talk about why original photography is still essential in today’s visual landscape.
