“Chain of Life” was nominated in the documentary category. The video follows the patients and staff during the world’s largest kidney donation exchange.
“The Rise and Fall of Rocky Lockridge” looks at...

Some of my favorites are the Grand Summit Hotel, the Lambertville Inn, The Lobster Shanty in Point Pleasant, The Mill at Spring Lake Heights, the Park...

It was a lot more fun photographing the Giants ticker tape parade following their amazing Super Bowl victory two...
Tis the season for holiday family portraits.
