These are my favorite ten photos from 2016. Each image tells a story. The cold hard truth of photography (and maybe you artists out there can relate) is that I’m really only happy with about .0003% of the images I make. I took 20,000 to 30,000 photos in 2016; I feel like I only shot, well, …
I spent five days in Haiti after Hurricane Matthew slammed into the small island nation. I’ve been reporting from disasters for years now, and I walked away from Haiti affected by what I saw. I watched funeral processions for small children who drowned when a community flooded. I met families who had lost everything, the …

A relatively quick documentary trip to Uganda; I was directing a few films but couldn’t help but snap a few photos. We were only on the ground for four shoot days, but as always, our time in Uganda was just brilliant. Enjoy a few stills! *Compassion International retains all rights.

As part of a rapid response team, I was sent to make damage assessments to determine if a full deployment would be necessary. Driving around parts of South Dallas, namely …
A dangerous storm system passed through the Midwest on February 29th, 2012. Dubbed the “Leap Year Tornadoes,” parts of the Midwest were hit hard. The morning after the storm passed through Harrisburg, IL our disaster team gathered to talk about a possible deployment. The small town in Southern Illinois had six deaths (a death a week …
I was holding my small HD camcorder, nearly hidden across the street. I could see through the open door of the Halal butcher shop. It was a busy day in this north Paris suburb, and a nearby Arab market was in full swing. Men were bringing in slabs of red meat from a white box …
