Raiders Coach Gets Pedicure

I can't believe Oakland Raiders head coach, Hue Jackson, let me photograph him getting his pre-game manicure/pedicure. It ran as a 2-page spread in the current issue (Dec 26) of ESPN the Magazine.

"Sports and Gangs" photos on CBS News

Some of the photos from my "Sports and Gangs" story were featured on today's CBS Morning Show  and last night's CBS Evening News. The photos also appear in this week's Sports Illustrated, below. They feature a remarkable young man named Kitam Hamm who lives in the midst of LA's gang warfare and yet he has avoided gang life, has a 3.8 grade point average and has been recruited by Harvard, Stanford and Yale. The story, written by Jeff Benedict can be found here.

Behind Photographs: Archiving Photographic Legends

It is a huge honor, and humbling, to be included in Tim Mantoani's book, Behind Photographs: Archiving Photographic Legends. Tim photographed over 150 photographers holding a print of one of their most iconic images including Neil Leifer's image of Muhammad Ali standing over a knocked-out Sonny Liston, Harry Benson's photo of The Beatles having a pillow fight and Steve McCurry's famous portrait of the Afghan girl with the green eyes from the cover of National Geographic. Each photographer was photographed with a 20x24 Polaroid camera. This started as a personal project and grew into this book with the help of Kickstarter crowd-sourcing to print the book. Brad Mangin wrote a great blogpost about the project.

Gallery of Robot Boy images

Just posted a gallery of images on my website of Lyndon Baty, a Texas boy whose robot goes to school for him due to his compromised immune system.

A Boy and His Robot

I had an opportunity to photograph a remarkable young boy in Texas whose robot goes to school for him. Kidney disease has compromised his immune system so drastically that he can't be around other kids. Sports Illustrated ran the story in the August 1st issue.

Annika photos in Sports Illustrated

I had an assignment to photograph Annika Sorenstam as she retires from being the world's top woman golfer to her new life as a business woman, wife, and mother. Here is the opener for the spread that ran in Sports Illustrated magazine's current Golf issue. I was very happy with my editor's choice for the opening photo, an unexpected moment between Annika and her husband, Mike.
