Daily Newspaper Photojournalism

Some recent work

I haven’t had many positive things to say and I’m trying to minimize my griping about the newspaper business.  I guess I should address that soon though as it has a bearing on my work.  In the meantime, here are a few pictures from recent assignments including the Redskins/Ravens preseason game, a balloon festival, the start of high school football practice, the area’s sole remaining cannery and a portrait of a young man heading to college.
