Most of the work presented here was created while I worked as a staff photographer at The Tulsa Tribune in Oklahoma from 1981-89. Several images were taken while at the Vacaville (CA) Reporter, where I worked as photo editor from 1989-91. While shooting on a daily basis I was named Regional Photographer Of The Year by the National Press Photographer's Association three times–in 1983, 1984, and 1987. I also was named Oklahoma News Photographer Of The Year six years in a row by the Oklahoma Press Association.
