about
I am an American photographer and filmmaker who grew up in a rural community in the San Francisco Bay Area and have spent the past 15 years living in rapidly changing mega-cities like New York, Mexico City and Shanghai. I studied photography at the International Center of Photography in New York City and am a frequent contributor to The New York Times. Recent personal work explores healing practices and how participation in healing traditions can contribute to individual and collective identity. Projects include combat veterans in Russia, violent crime victims in Mexico City, and inside New York City's largest homeless shelter Bellevue.
