OVERVIEW:
I am a free lance photographer and ASMP member specializing in travel photography of Louisiana, New Orleans, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. My images are used to promote tourism to the Gulf Coast region by all the major Tourism Bureaus, including the New Orleans Tourism and Marketing Corporation (NOTMC}, Louisiana Dept. of Culture and Tourism, Louisiana Office of State Parks, along with thousands of published photographs in many national publications.

I have a line of postcards, and a Book, NEW ORLEANS IMPRESSIONS, (Far Country Press, Helena Montana), which are sold in shops throughout the French Quarter. My Limited Edition Fine Art Photographs are available from my web site and The Gallery, now at two locations, 308 Royal and 742 Royal in the French Quarter.

The following are some highlights from my past assignments.
