Life
He worked for the Chicago Sun Times, and Denver Post.[1]
He was a contract photographer for Time from 1991 to 2009, and has published four books, including 'Beyond the Fall', a 10-year photography project portraying the transition of the Eastern bloc starting from the fall of the Berlin wall,[2] and Fear This, about the war of images and slogans being played out at home while America is at war in Iraq.
His work has appeared in National Geographic magazine, Paris Match, Stern, The New York Times Magazine, the Sunday Times Magazine (London ), Life, and many publications throughout the world.[3]
In 2009 he co-founded the non-profit collective "Facing Change: Documenting America", with a group of social minded photographers and writers to document the issues facing the United States during a time of economic uncertainty. As the project president he was able to negotiate and sign agreements with the Library of Congress, Leica Camera Inc., the National Geographic Magazine, German GEO, Le Monde (France), the Open Society Foundation and PhotoShelter. He resigned from the organization in June 2013, 6 months after a negligent Board of Directors took control of the company's management.
Currently based in New York City he is directing his first feature documentary, Organic Rising, a look at the rise of the organic industry across the United States. The film is funded by Leica Camera Inc., a successful crowd-source funding campaign, Dr. Bronner, Amy's Kitchen, Earl's Organic Produce and Heath and LeJeune and it is being produced by Deepak Chopra, Nick Quested of Goldcrest Films, Elizabeth Kucinich, the wife of former eight-term congressman and two-time Democratic presidential candidate, Dennis Kucinich and Christina Vircillo of Three One NYC.
