That's the Shot Photography

I took one of my first pictures for a weekly newspaper, The New Prague Times, while I was in high school. A classmate had earned a spot in the state wrestling tournament. Knowing he would probably take the top spot, I used a camera from my photography class. Sure enough, he won the state title.  I photographed him as he stood proudly with his trophy. That was the shot which made the front page of my hometown newspaper. And that’s when the visual art took hold of me.
 
While I have been a broadcast journalist for the past 17 years, I have continued to use still photography as a creative outlet. This website allows me to showcase some of my best work in the last few years.
