I’m a New York Times photographer based in San Francisco.
What I Cover
Most of what I cover is breaking news and features in the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California. I work with our technology reporters on a variety of stories about advances in that industry.
My Background
I joined The Times in 1980, covering breaking news, features, sports and arts. In 1991, I became the first Times photographer based on the West Coast, where I photographed stories in California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska and occasionally Hawaii. I moved back to New York in 1997 as the chief assignment editor for our photo department. In that capacity, I was part of the team of photographers and editors who won a Pulitzer Prize for our coverage of the attacks on the World Trade Center. I returned to San Francisco in 2005, working out of the Times’s Bay Area bureau.
I graduated in 1974 from Duke University where I was a member of Duke’s daily, The Chronicle. I went on to be a staff photographer at the News & Observer in Raleigh, N.C., and later worked at the Observer in Charlotte for a number of years. My journey also took me through Washington where I was an A.P. photographer covering the White House and Congress.
Journalistic Ethics
It is the highest privilege and honor to be part of the staff of journalists at The New York Times. I strive to treat everyone I encounter with dignity and respect no matter their circumstances or station in life. I adhere to the standards of integrity and share the values embodied in The Times’s Ethical Journalism Handbook.
