bio
I am not sure. But I do know, I have been, or was, a freelance photographer working throughout the Southwest for more than 20 years. Prior to that I was a staff newspaper photographer for Knight Ridder. Prior to that I was with Freedom Newspapers. Prior to that I was studying photojournalism at Western Kentucky University. Before this, I had a stint working in a factory in Connecticut testing battery acid. And prior to all of it I was bartending and ski patrolling in Colorado, my home state. As for a degree, I have two. One being the aforementioned degree in photojournalism from WKU, the other being a bachelors degree in Geology. I have never worked as a geologist and am still not really sure how I chose and/or completed it except that I like being outside more than I like being inside. My regular client list included The New York Times, USA Today, LA Times, Der Spiegel, The Wall Street Journal, ESPN the Magazine, The Dallas Morning News, TIME, Getty Images, Polaris Images, The International Herald Tribune, Intel, ACCION, Freedom Communications, Knight Ridder, ABC News, The Discovery Channel, Turner Broadcasting, Citadel, Fidelity, The University of Vermont Medical Center, NAPPR, The Heart Gallery, Edible Communities, Albuquerque Tribune, Albuquerque Journal, The Santa Fe New Mexican, Santa Fean Magazine, New Mexico Magazine, American Teachers Federation, The Federal Reserve, University of Vermont, Storemont Vail Health, Etch Strategies ... etc. I say 'included' (as in, past tense) because I do not shoot professionally much anymore. And I have never felt more free. You can contact me at rmsjr63@gmail.com
