Earlier this year I shared with supporters a behind-the-scenes look at memorable photos made over my 36 years as a Tribune photographer. See the link and password below if you would like to view the video slideshow.
It has been an honor to work as a photojournalist, and it has really shaped the way I see the world.

When I am on assignment, I try to get to know people. To empathize with them. And to reflect on how they may have been treated.
I embedded with troops during the Iraq War, transmitting photos by satellite modem.

And from arena rock concerts to gritty punk shows - I love them both as a music fan to the core.
