Proceed with caution

A woman walks out of a Philadelphia check cashing story as police move in after a botched robbery in 1997. It only appears that the the gun is pointed at her because I was using a telephoto lens which can compress several layers of information.

Categories : Philadelphia, Photojournalism

From 1984 through 2006, I worked as a full-time newspaper and wire service photojournalist, primarily in Boston and Philadelphia. Since then, I have focused my efforts more broadly across independent social media journalism, journalism education, and the study of trauma journalism, multimedia reporting, and the development of sustainable economic models for the future of journalism. Most of the photos from Philadelphia were taken while working for the Philadelphia Daily News. Photos from Iraq were taken while working for the Associated Press.
