I was tasked by Education Week director of photography Charlie Borst to find a student in the Baltimore City Public School system to be the face of poverty for a story about how socioeconomic status impacts educational success. Along the way I met homeless family Tameka Harrison and her first-grade son, Jahmal and got to spend a day with them and photograph Jahmal’s School City Spring Elementary/Middle School in Baltimore.

AARP Bulletin DOP Michael Wichita called me up a few months ago — actually, while I was in Denver for Geekfest – needing an in-house mock up made so he could pitch an illustration idea to his bosses for a big story they’re doing on the kind of people who use Social Security. He needed it [...]

I recently realized that I when I listen to music I respond waaaayyy more to the mood a song creates than I do to its lyrics. I always hear how the vocals are sung and never hear what’s being said. Maybe that’s why I like metal? It didn’t take too long for me to understand [...]

Like I said in my last post, Nick’s Bachelor Party weekend was some of the most fun I’ve had in a while. I was hanging out with a bunch of self-proclaimed nerds. Most of them are waaaay into comics. In fact, I might be the only one who wasn’t. I can be nerdy sometimes, but [...]

Just so you know… I’m absolutely horrible at this game. I scored the least amount of points, whereas Nick was 2nd best and the best on his team. Our team would’ve been obliterated had we not had Michael Bracco and all of his good looking luck. Man! …I hate that guy. I mean, have you seen his
