from a story on navy training, this months issue.

I have a image on the cover of TIME magazine this week (July 28, 2008 issue)! The Soldier is Sergeant Major Combs,¬†photographed¬†at¬†the¬†Korengal Outpost last fall. Naturally, this is major news for me professionally, but it also means a great deal personally. I received an email from Combs’ mother telling me that she took his three children to the newsstand to buy as many copies as they could. They were so excited they were running up and down the store’s aisles saying ‘this is my daddy! this is my daddy!’.

I am thrilled to have one of my images included in the Communication Arts Photo Annual 49, August 2008 (pg 42). It’s from a story I did for Gourmet magazine last year called “Kabul Nights” about dining in the Afghan capital. (BTW, despite his AK-47, the guard at the door was a really nice guy.)¬†¬† It’s great to be included an issue packed with industry leaders.

I just learned that one of my photographs of U.S. solidiers taken in Afghanistan
last year has been selected to appear in the “2007 Photographic Portrait Prize exhibition at London’s Portrait Gallery”

The photograph chosen is of PFC Heather Ragan, 19, from Oklahoma City, OK. It was taken during my first trip to Kamdesh, Afghanistan last fall.

The show is on from November 8th to February 24th, before going on tour. If your travels take you to London during that time, I hope you’ll have a chance to see it.
“you can purchase the book here:”

My work can now be purchased through ClampArt Gallery.
