My old boss always had random sayings about photography that really didn’t make much sense, but somehow they still run through my head all these years later.

The story behind photographing Rosanne Cash for National Geographic Traveler
Growing up with a mother as a musician, I’ve been exposed to so many styles of music but the one that has really stuck with me is folk. I love the simplicity, the words, and especially the stories behind the words. A song is so much more than just notes and words, just like photo is…
