This site is a sample portfolio to illustrate various aspects of my work. Since it's only intended as a sample portfolio, I've disabled all of the blog features. Political photographs document events. They are NOT intended to reflect the photographer's views. A good journalist must remain neutral when covering any event.

Greyhound
The Greyhound racetrack was scheduled to close live racing on Dec. 19, 2009. Simulcasted races ended on Dec. 31, 2009. The tacked opened in 1954. I tried to document it's last three months. During that time, I'd challenged myself to get a dog in full stride without cropping the photo. I actually was leaning over the railing with a 200mm lens. Took awhile but I got it. However, the real story was the people.
