I have worked with photography in many different capacities: as a newspaper photographer, a writer, an educator, a curator, and in the development and growth of photography organizations.
I am the Executive Director of Silver Eye Center for Photography in Pittsburgh, which, has become a clear and powerful voice in contemporary photography in support of living artists and the power of photography. I’m honored to serve this organization that was so meaningful to me as a teenager growing up in Pittsburgh.
I am a managing editor at Fraction Magazine with Bree Lamb, where each month we present portfolios of work that we think more people should see and share the space with guest editors. For several years I wrote a regular review for Fraction Magazine. I was grateful for this opportunity to articulate my reactions to both contemporary and historical photography.
I teach in the photography program at Carnegie Mellon University, and am continuously impressed by the thoughtfulness and creativity with which my students approach both ideas and practice.
I put art by regional artists in the windows of 251 Atwood Street, Pittsburgh, next to Spice Island Tea House.
I'm always interested in meeting photographers and hearing about projects. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in collaboration. I would love to hear from you if you allowed me to take your picture, or if you would just like to say hello.
