Documentary and Political Photojournalist Based in Washington DC
This photo taken by my father of me and my sister, Denise, is one of my earliest memories of myself with a camera.
A career Marine, my dad was always taking photographs of us and the many places we were stationed over the years.
Back then, I also discovered photography. I would borrow my mother’s camera and take pictures of the places we went.
Little did I know that one day it would turn into a career and a passion.
I still have that camera.
Thank you, Dad.
