About
I am an independent multimedia journalist, university educator and new media consultant, usually based in Philadelphia. Just recently, I moved to Columbia, MO, to join the convergence journalism faculty at the University of Missouri, for at least a year.
Until last year, I was the senior photographer, a photo-columnist and solo video journalist with the Philadelphia Daily News, where I had worked since 1991. On leave from the Daily News in 2004-2005, I was a photographer and photo editor for the Associated Press in Iraq, and personally covered over 200 combat missions and at times managing the AP’s photo reports and staff development in Baghdad. I was honored with the Bayeux Prize for War Correspondents, and was included in the Associated Press photo team awarded the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for breaking news photography and numerous additional awards.
In 2006-2007, I was a Knight-Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan, and an Ochberg Fellow with the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma in 2007. I have led photojournalism seminars at Tufts University, my alma mater, and undergraduate courses at Temple University, including a new course on journalism and trauma. In 2009, I traveled across New Zealand to present a series of lectures on trauma journalism.
More recently, I was named one of the Five Biggest Photographers on the Internet by Photo District News, and Philadelphia Magazine’s 2009 Best of Philly “Nuevo Journalist,” both for my experiments in social media.
I am available for editorial assignments, commissioned projects, select commercial contracts, and instructional new media consulting.
