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.

Some posts are instructional, others reflective, but all are rooted in experience and an ongoing commitment to doing thoughtful, honest work.
