I'm a university professor, researcher, writer, visual ethnographer, semiologist, and photographer. Over the past couple of decades, I have produced advertising photography (with a specialty in food), corporate video productions, photojournalism, and military public affairs (both domestic and overseas). Currently, I am a tenured photo media professor in the Pacific Northwest, USA. In addition to teaching all levels of studio photography and lighting, along with photo history, I am director of our graduate program in communication. My freelance work is both advertising and editorial assignments. My client roster includes names you may recognize: Tyson Foods, Land O' Lakes, Bass Pro Shops, Copper Mountain Resort, and The Swiss Colony, to mention a few.
