Thank you for visiting bkjournalism. Above, you’ll find examples of my work from the past 5 years – quick-turn features, news issues and documentary projects. With the invaluable help of others, I acted as principal cinematographer, editor and producer of each.

The current featured video was produced for the Detroit Free Press in July, 2011. A reporter and I spent 4 weeks on the road and travelled through 7 states for this comprehensive story. Asian carp are largely considered public enemy #1 when it comes to invasive species in the United States. Here, we track their decades-long colonization of the Mississippi River basin and the potential threat they pose to the Great Lakes, documenting fishermen, scientists, chefs, politicians and everyday folks whose lives Asian carp have affected. 

The images below are from a recent road trip through the desert southwest (December, 2011). Three photos are from Death Valley and the fourth (lower right) is a slot canyon in the Orocopia Mountains near the Salton Sea, less than 2 hours from where I grew up and undiscovered to me until just recently. I’ll try to keep this set of images updated regularly to reflect outdoor pursuits.
