I’m a freelance photojournalist based in Madison, Wis. I got my start shooting high school sports for my hometown newspaper. I’m currently a contract photographer for ZUMA Press International, a photo agency. I’ve had several careers in my 55 trips around the sun (lawyer, musician, reporter, professor) but none of them fires me like photojournalism. I get the same kick from photojournalism that some people get from big-game hunting, bungee jumping, or transcendental meditation. For me, photojournalism is a practice as much as it is a profession.
