2010 The Year In Pictures
It has been a pretty wild year, and I have experienced many things I will never forget, I feel I have grown more in the year of 2010 as a photographer than ever before and I can only hope 2011 is half as good to me as 2010 has been. My photos contain mostly sports [...]
On Board The Develoment Driller II Relief Well Rig

Normally I post a blog following each assignment, unfortunately I have not had the time and have been forced to neglect my regular updates. So since [...]

Wow it’s been a busy week, and I barely have time to sleep let alone blog, I’ve been adding links from publications of one of my recent assignment through Bloomberg News, as I drove out to Grand Isle for a second time, and arrived to see heavy oil had impacted the closed beaches. I knew [...]
From Above the Spill
On Tuesday I covered by sea, on Wednesday I took to the air with the U.S. Coast Guard in a HC-144A Coast Guard airplane with along with a large group of journalist and photographers to get a birds eye view of the storm. Early in the day things did not look good, severe storms were [...]
