“Taking pictures means holding your breath with all your faculties concentrated on capturing a fleeting reality.” Henri Cartier-Bresson

These images document many of the people I have been privileged to know and photograph for more than two decades working as a photojournalist. Whether they are famous adults or children playing dress up, my goal has always been to “seize the moment of truth” as Bresson has said, and with compassion and patience allow for the humanity of my subjects to reveal, in perhaps unguarded moments, what is both unique and universal in their portraits. 

Portraits in order of appearance: Isabelle Allende, Isaac Asimov, Paul Auster, Michael Lewis, Dana Carvey, Jonathan Caoutte, Michael Crichton, Debra Harry, Lotte Jacobi, Pauline Kael, Chen Kiage, Bobby McFerrin.
