Frame 00 · Caption strip I have covered assignments across 21 countries since 2013, filing for wire desks and long-form features. Two of my picture stories ran as cover packages, and my archive holds roughly 340,000 frames. I shoot mostly available light and I still carry two bodies because one always dies at the wrong moment.
