I began in the film industry grip and electrical departments working my way into camera and lighting where I have been for the past ten years. Today my passion remains with the camera operator position.

(2) COMMERCIALS/ PROMOS/ PSAs
Commercials are like mini features in that each one is an opportunity to create a tiny work of art. These projects are short, usually a couple of days. At the end of this time, work is complete and ready for the world to see; for better or worse it's instant gratification.

(3) CONCERTS/MUSIC VIDEOS
Covering musical events, particularly concerts and music videos is my first love. There's something about live switched music that really gets the juices flowing. Music videos, on the other hand, provide a chance for unbridaled creativity in short periods of time.

(4) BROADCAST NEWS
News is the ultimate 'down and dirty' photography. But what it requires is the ability to be ready at all times. There is no second chance to get it right. What a rush, but not for the inexperienced.

| Choose Or Lose, MTV News | Fishing

(5) SPORTS
Talk about your adrenaline rush; shooting sports is photography with the added element of danger and the need to be ready at all times. Missing a single play can mean missing a score necessary for the news or a show that night. And keeping alert can mean getting hurt or not.
| Football, LA Superdome | Baseball, LA Superdome | Basketball, LA Superdome |
| Soccer, De Todo Un Poco | Horse Racing, ESPN2 | Monster Truck Jams, 1-800-COLLECT |

(6) DOCUMENTARIES
Documentaries usually provide not nearly as much time as is needed to be comfortable. The shooter has to move quickly because documentaries involve interviewing real people as opposed to actors who don't expect to take a long time in front of the camera.

| Jefferson Parish Levee Project, Madison Prods | National Night Out Against Crime, Cox | The Case For Rebuilding Our Schools, Cox |

(7) TELEVISION PROGRAMS
The TV show is many times shot live without interruption in the studio. Even though some elements of the live show are pre-produced, there are countless things that can go wrong in the studio and on the air. This is where a rounded knowledge of the whole business is helpful and staying alert for changing cues is paramount.

(8) LIVE RECORDED EVENTS
The live event not unlike television news provides only one chance to get it right. In many ways, this makes live events harder to cover than commercials or features that can allow a lot of time to play with a shot or fix things in post. The live event demands that everything be set well before the event begins because once it does there's usually no stopping to change anything.
