This gallery page is an eclectic overview of the various portfolios on this website, all of the images are from 2020 to date.
As a documentary photographer I am always photographing my world. When it was obvious the impact of the pandemic was going to create a world unlike anything else we have ever experienced I knew I had to document as many of the events of 2020 as I could. When I began editing my 2020 images I soon realized these photographs should stand separate from my other work, so I launched this second website. As Social Justice issues continue to evolve and the pandemic still impacts our lives I have continued this portfolio. Overtime I have also found having a separate website for color images to be a better way to showcase my work.
The content of this gallery page and the entire website is fluid - new images are added often.
