Award-winning journalist and photographer still believes in a free press, Ethical Journalism and social justice.
I have hitchhiked across three states, covered death penalty trials, investigated the Aryan nations, trekked west indian rain forests, braved hurricanes in Hawaii and southern mexico.
I love, without condition, my daughters, husband, grandchildren and family.
rescued loads of homeless animals (dogs, cats, a pigeon, several mice, a deer and a fawn, frogs, spiders, snakes and Turtles), shared 6 a.m. breakfasts with a 17-and-a-half hands irish hunter, covered more fires than most staff reporters see in any given week (earning the eerie comments, 'There will be a fire, you're working.') And for the first time, shot photos in the paddock and on the Saratoga Race track, For the 2017 travers stakes. (A real thrill!)
I see the heart on the other side of My lens, trying to capture that split second moment that betrays truth. I shot images of stars and blues harp guys, of grief, of joy, of protest and anger and secreted love.

Guggenheim Reporting Fellowship; I have published two books; have been interviewed on NPR many times and have a master of Arts in Journalism from American university.
