Overview


My research interests have focused on exploring various health and social issues through the perspective of documentary photography. In recent years I have contributed photographs to books about adolescent parents and primary care. I am currently working on a project about gun-inflicted injuries. I am also at work on a book that will present photographs made by children coping with chronic illness.
