One of the first lessons I learned in photography is that a unique perspective can be the difference between a striking image and one that goes unnoticed. I was hired to cover the ping pong rematch between the USA and China at the Nixon Library in Yorba Lin

I’ve been to Rome over 30 times—and I don’t regret a single trip. Each visit has taught me something new, not just about photography, but about the city itself.

The first time I went to Camogli, I had zero expectations. I didn’t Google it. I didn’t have a plan. I just started walking—classic me. And when I reached the entrance of the town, up on a hill before you descend a staircase into the main part of Camogli, I stopped. Right away, I felt it.

I’ve learned something over the years as a photographer—not just as someone who clicks a shutter but seeing the world that extends beyond my camera. It’s a subtle skill that has nothing to do with gear or technique and/or or perfect symmetry. Sure, composition, light, and timing matter. It’s about training my mind to recognize beauty everywhere, even in the places others might overlook.
