I spent my twenties as a photojournalist, which taught me two things: how to find the picture in a room full of noise, and how to be invisible while doing it. Weddings turned out to be the best assignment of all, because everyone in the room has a reason to be there.

I shoot with two small cameras, no flash where I can help it, and a second photographer for anything over eight hours. I edit everything myself, at a desk that looks out over the river.

When I'm not working I'm walking the dog, reading about typography, or planning a trip somewhere with better light.
