Introduction
To Whom It May Concern:: As a freelance photojournalist for the last seventeen years, I’ve won a few awards for my writing and photography. In addition, I’ve continually expanded the base of the magazines I write for. I now write for several international publications as well. There are over forty-five magazines and newspapers that have published my work and that I continue to write for. I was just made the Shooting and Travel Editor for Outdoors Now Magazine, which is published in Utah and is loosely associated with the Sportsman’s Warehouse also headquartered in Utah. Some of my clients include: World & I Magazine, published by the Washington Times, Washington, DC., New Mexico Magazine, New Mexico Outdoors, Crosswinds, Prime Time, AARP, Wild Side, Mountain Sports & Living, En Accion, Chevron USA Odyssey, Travel & Leisure, Forbes FYI, Colorado Magazine, Outdoors Now, Sportsmen’s News, Clay Shooting USA, Shotgun Sports, Sporting Clays, Clay Pigeon, Shooting Sports Retailer, Shooting Industry, Shot Business, Shotgun News, American Firearms Industry, BOB Magazine, Blue Magazine, Southwest Gourmet, La Cocina, South African Airways, Air Wisconsin, Mesa Airlines, The Chicago Tribune, The Denver Post; Johannesburg Star; New Mexico Business Journal, Stout Publishing, Hispanic Publishing, Blizzard Skis, K2 Skis, Powder Magazine, The Cascade Horseman, Trail Rider Magazine, Cowboy Sports and Entertainment, Desert Cowboy, Just Horses, Rocky Mountain Rider, Western Horseman German Edition, Abenteurer und Reisen, American West, Sunwest Bank, Cabot Corp., 3M, Trailer Life, Touring America Magazine, T&L Publishing, H B & J Publishing, Franklin Watts Publishing and many others. The State of New Mexico has been using my ski photography to promote skiing in the state for three years and that particular ad won an Addy award. The Art Institute of Chicago purchased some of my early black and white work, and remains in their archives. I also took fourth place in the Chicago Arts Festival some years ago. The United States Information Agency also used my story published in The World & I Magazine on the Delta Queen Steamboat (Affected by Her Charm), to promote tourism in the United States by sending reprints to all its embassies and consulates worldwide. I do a lot of writing in the following areas: travel, adventure, ice climbing, wildlife, skiing, hunting, fishing, shotgun instruction, horseback riding adventures, natural science, history, culture and life. More recently, I’ve been writing about food, wine, microbrewery beers and paring them to wild game and ethnic dishes and doing restaurant reviews for different publications. I supply all the photography for all my articles, which makes the editor’s job easier and makes the articles easier to sell. I’ve done quite a bit of writing on various international train rides, and cruises, as well. I’ve recently gone digital in photography as well. The formats I can supply photography in are: 35mm, 35mm panoramic (24mm x 55mm), 4.5cm x 6cm, 6cm x 7cm and 4" x 5". Some of my cowboy and western riding articles have sold seven times and have been used by national and international publications. Some of my photography used in advertising has won Addy awards. If you have any questions, please advise.
