    Blue Earth Alliance is a non-profit 501c3 that I co-founded in 1995 to help photographers and filmmakers do documentary projects on endangered environments, threatened cultures and other social issues.

    I have been president or vice president for 14 of the past 21 years.

    When I rejoined the board 8 years ago, Blue Earth had been adversely affected by the recession. Its reserves were depleted. I immediately implemented a road map to fiscal health. Today we are better off than we've ever been.

    I helped produce two major conferences for Blue Earth in 2016 and 2017. I was lead on the programs committee. The conferences were held at the Seattle Downtown Library. Speakers were flown in from as far away as India and Germany. Both years we raised money to support Blue Earth's activities.

Projects

  • Board of Directors, WSCC

    I photographed the Washington State Convention Center Board of Directors on location with multiple lights. I did a general group shot and then individual business portraits. The group shot was successfully completed within five minutes of the Board's arrival at the location.

  • Bill Gates and representatives of Historically Black Colleges and Universities

    I worked as a part of Guy Tucker's team to document the conversations between representatives and students of HBCU institutions that took place at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The photographs were used internally and for Mr. Gates' blog.

    Technical challenge of lighting three men holding an 8 inch object in front of a large piece of equipment a nuclear physics lab referred to as a "cave."

  • Corporate Portraits for the Washington State Convention Center

    I photographed all employees of the Washington State Convention Center in my portable studio that I set up onsite. I had approximately 4 minutes to photograph each person. I also created group shots of the board of directors, the 20-member art consultation committee, the executive team and the sales team.
