I manage washingtonblade.com: I upload stories to the website and pair them with properly-sized photos. I am the political photographer, working in the Congress and White House, along the campaign trail or in New York, New Orleans, Cleveland, Annapolis or wherever the news takes me, taking photos for the Washington Blade. I also take a weekly portrait of.

Washington, D.C.

I was the improv voice actor for the character Xion Praeten in the top-rated D&D 5e podcast, "Godsfall." Check it out on godsfall.com or find the podcast on iTunes.

Los Angeles, Calif.

I helped to launch the Los Angeles Blade website and trained the new staff of the L.A. Blade to become self-sufficient in maintaining their website.

I directed the Tom Goss music video, "Wait."

Petworth, D.C.

I co-directed "You Don't Know How Hard" by the fictional character, Justin Jaymes (played by Tom Goss). It was meant as an ironic take on gay narcissism.

Brookland, D.C.

"Bears" was a light-hearted and high-camp romp of a music video. It is our most successful to date in terms of views, and was great fun to direct. It was the most intense we have ever attempted, with literally hundreds of extras and a large cast. We were able to put it together because we have such an experienced crew now that have worked together for.

This fun romp of a video used the technique of time-lapse, with the song playing extremely slowly as we filmed. Real-time can be tracked by looking at the clock — the minute hand keeps the time. It was a nearly-continuous shot for 80 minutes. It was great fun working with great artists and getting the whole thing together.

I managed the photography for the award-winning 2012 Capital Pride Guide.

We wanted to release something fun after the heaviness of "Lover," so this is a fun little music video — a gift for the fans, many of whom were in the video.

Washington, D.C.

I took pictures in the House, Senate, White House, and at LGBT events throughout the region. I took nightlife pictures at LGBT events. Also, I managed the 40-year photo archive and prepared photos for the website.

The music video "Lover," a tale of loss focusing on the issue of gays in the military, played on MTV's Logo and was a big hit for us. We released it right around the time that "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was being voted on for repeal. It was picked up on every major (and many not-so-major) LGBT news/features outlet.

I worked for the DC Agenda in the brief time between the collapse of Window Media and the relaunch of the Washington Blade. I took political and nightlife photos for the paper.

U.S.A.

In my first music video, I helped with the pacing and editing as well as setting up the scene. It was a relatively straightforward shoot followed by editing together submitted video of several marriages.

During the last months of the Window Media empire (Washington Blade, SoVo, South Florida Blade, David Magazine, et cetera), I took photos at LGBT events in the capital for the LGBT news conglomerate. My favorite and best assignment during this time was covering the National Equality March.Also, I worked to produce youtube videos documenting LGBT life in.
